MIND & MEDITATION

Business management, personal management, social management, financial management and so on… all are fake without mind management. mind management is the essence of life management. According to Maherishi Patanjali "Yogashchitta vritti nirodhah" i.e. Yog is all about controlling the mental modifications. mind management provides a sight to the practitioner regarding how to interpret the circumstances to life and how to go far beyond the worries, anxieties, tensions, stress, painful past, insecure future, failed relationships, mental unease, dissatisfaction, financial crisis and so on.
"If we care for our mind, if we nurture it and if we cultivate it just like a fertile rich garden, it'll blossom far beyond our expectation. But if we let the weeds take root, lasting peace of mind and deep inner harmony will always elude us" said by an Indian master.Mind is the atma shakti, the inner power. The thoughts, sentiments, moods & emotions produce their strong impression on face, the outer world reflects the state of the inner world. It's a wonderful servant but the worst master but unfortunately 90% of human beings are slaves of their minds. Even the perfectly noticed thinkers use only 25% of their mental abilities. Mind should not be the master but one should be master of his mind, one who has mastered his mind can easily master the world and the only way to mater the mind is through meditation, the seventh stage of the eight fold path of yog.Mind control is the one and only way to live a more purposeful and rewarding life, to love his own self, to feel alive, to have wisdom as it's the most potent force and above all to be 'the best' in all spheres of life. We definitely need to open the windows of our mind but not so much that all dust particles enter in fact only this much that fresh air should enter and provide oxygen to it. Meditation is the only way to avoid the dust let the fresh air enters i.e only the very best information enters.
"I've visited almost the entire world for my dance performances and yog discourses but the most beautiful place I've ever been is My Inner World where I cant reach through any conveyance but only through meditation" says
