INTRODUCTION
This is a site on the MIND.
For all of us, the best companion and often the only companion is our Mind. The Mind
is what perceives. So any event however bad is bad because it is perceived to be so by the Mind. The Mind by itself can make
heaven out of hell and hell out of heaven.
Most often, we do not realize the Enemy
within. Our Mind. The Lethal Weapon with which we tend to destroy ourselves as well as others around us.
We cannot harness, control or maneuver the Mind. The Mind maneuvers us, controls our
behavior and gives us our attitude. We can only understand the mind, and nurture it right.
In this book, I have gone to the source of all troubles within the Mind. I have discussed
the Mind and its functioning, its diverse complexes, various conditioning, innumerable
repressions and other emotions which fire the Mind and its functioning.
The aim is to question everything and everyone till one stumbles upon the truth. The truth is always outside of all fixed notions.
We have but one life. We need to leave behind the past, experience the present and lose
our fear for the future. Its only when we start living in the present moment relishing its fragrance that our lives will be
fully justified.
Like Bruce Lee, the philosopher and martial artist once said –
“To refuse to be cast down, that is the lesson,
Walk On and see a new view,
Walk On and see the birds fly,
Walk On and leave behind all things
That would dam up the inlet of experience”
So read on, Open your Mind, Contemplate and Investigate all you believed.
Summarizing In the words of the Buddha
Do Not Believe
in the strength of Tradition
Even if they have
been held
In honor for many
Generations and many Places
Do not Believe
Anything because many people speak of it
Do not Believe
in the strength of the Sages of old times
Do not Believe
that which You yourself have imagined
Thinking that
a God has inspired you.
Believe nothing
which depends only on Authority of
Your Master or
of Priests
After Investigation,
Believe That Which
You yourself have
Tested and found Reasonable,
And which is for
Your Good and that of Others.
I hope you realize the tremendous potential
that your Mind has coiled up within it. When you unleash it, it becomes your Magic Wand helping you to find contentment, spread
compassion and live a fulfilled Life.
