Mind is the cause of bondage and liberation, and if one can master this mind, one can become not just a mastermind but the master Himself, says Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai. In this series of talks, ‘Master the Mind’, primarily given to the Ashram residents of Sathya Sai Grama, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai guides us step by step, to take up a 30 day sadhana to understand, analyse, master and finally merge the mind into the divine self.

In 2015 a Satsang held in the divine presence at Singapore, a devotee seeks guidance on the nine phases of teacher transformation.
Here is what Swami said:
If I tell you the whole thing, what will you do? (Laughter) I want you all to put together your thoughts and come up with how, step-by-step and practically, you can teach them multiple things. For the first part, you should at least start with the general introduction of why teachers play the most important role in society -- how they transform society, how they can help the nation. All that Swami has spoken about today can be part of the first course.
How do they need to behave? What do they need to do in order to be of help to society? Then give them some practical examples. When I say transformation is important, practice before you preach. Give them some examples, give them stories, give them exercises to do. The next time, when a child makes a mistake, how would they deal with the same child? Would they get angry and judgmental or would they compassionately try and resolve the problem with the child? Would they try and understand why the child is behaving that way, or simply conclude that it is a bad child? Would they take a positive approach, or would they take a negative approach? In this manner, and with each of these principles, create practical exercises which the teachers can implement and follow. They should return and feel that, yes, they were able to find a difference, and are ready for the next course. Break up each the nine phases this way.
