The Journey from Dependence to Self-Control
Addictions—whether to substances, social media, unhealthy habits, or negative emotions—trap individuals in cycles of suffering. Acharya Lokesh Muni’s teachings emphasize self-discipline, awareness, and the ability to detach from worldly temptations. By practicing spirituality, one can find inner strength to break free from harmful habits.
Steps to Overcome Addictions Spiritually

✔ Practicing Self-Control Through Meditation – Meditation increases mental clarity and control, reducing the urge for instant gratification.
✔ Reprogramming the Mind with Positive Habits – By replacing addictive behaviors with constructive activities, the mind becomes stronger.
