Book Review | Mind is your Business |

Mind is all about experience of thinking, feeling and it’s about the thoughts based on the surroundings, interactions etc. Business is all about capacity to take risk for creating a value. Who controls the business ? If it’s the promoter or the professional, then who controls the body ? is it the mind 

Is the mind so important ?

Mind is your business, is all about the thoughts that needs to be liberated, controlled and exaggerated to ensure that mind and soul becomes one to enjoy the life.  

Mind and brain are two different things contradicting each other. Brain is a physical thing and mind is investible thing in our head. Can the body function without brain? And what will happen if mind stops triggering thoughts are the key reflections.

The book provides the perspectives on thought through application of intellect. Having attached to the materialistic needs is what makes mind to play circus. We need to apply intellect and ensure the mind provide quality thoughts that controls our life.

Few key reflections 

# Only when you get dis-identified, when you are able to be involved but not entangled only when you get misidentified, when you are able to be involved but not entangled only then it can stop.

# Having an aversion to some tell you, "this is good and that is evil, but do not think about evil", that is a full time job

# There is no subtraction or division in the mind, there is only addition and multiplication.

# It is the identification which is a lot of people have become like goats because if you practice how to be involved with life, you will slowly become more lifeless. 

# Your aliveness is going down because you are committing suicide in instalments by becoming selective in your involvement. Whatever you do willingly, that is your heaven. Whatever you do unwillingly, that is your hell.

# Whether your mind is a misery or your mind is a miracle simply depends on whether you are allowing life to happen to you absolutely willingly or unwillingly 

# If you truly want to unleash the power of mind, the fundamental thinking is, your intellect should not be identified with anything,

# Detachment means you have disentangled yourself from the process that you call "Body" and from the process that you call mind, because both these are accumulations from outside.

# When you call moments of bliss, moments of joy, moments of ecstasy, moments of utter peace, these were moments when you were not thinking about anything but just living 

# Most of a human beings suffering is mental, and mental suffering is self created. A human being is an expert at creating suffering for himself and for others. This is because he has a discretionary mind - he choose to be any way he wants right now. He can make himself joyful or make himself miserable.  You can make anything out of your mind. This choice is there at every moment. 

Human life is also about suffering. We are blessed in order that we have the powerful thoughts to create beliefs. We share our suffering, what about animals and plants do they get pain, whom shall they share the pain ? A short book to reflect - a recommend read to understand mind

PINK | Lessons

Pink is directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, written by Ritesh Shah, and produced by Rashmi Sharma and Shoojit Sircar.  The key characters in the movie are played Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Angad Bedi, Andrea Tariang, Piyush Mishra, and Dhritiman Chatterjee. The movie is a blockbuster.

The story is about an incident of molestation with a girl after the rock show when they get friendly with boys in the concert. The picturisation is on their struggle with the society and police, the suffering of being a Single Working Women and hardship for justice. In my opinion, the performance the legend Amitab Bachachan is just outstanding. The song is soul touching, in the entire storytelling, cinematography there is no boredom. The movie is directed straight by heart and A Movie Must Watch.

Physiologist defines mind-set into Fixed and Growth. The movie is directed keeping in mind the fixed mindset of the society today. Watching this movie in a Growth mind-set, ignites key thoughts on our beliefs, values systems and culture at large. Our collective mindsets and values define the society we live in. And ‘Pink’ tells us everything that’s wrong with us. And men alone aren’t to be blamed. Women stand equally guilty. 

Pertinent Questions on Powerful:

People-in-power misuse their authorities to their advantage. Power is associated with arrogance. Fearing to ask the pertinent question and scared of the powerful causes dealy in lodging a complaint. As a result of this, the matter gets complicated. One has to be bold enough to fight for the cause that gave nightmares. Inner Power (self-confidence) should not be surrendered just because someone or the society looks differently. Until the truth revels, everyone has their own opinion and peruse differently.

Initiate and be intense

Although we fear for the consequences and delay to initiate matters as soon when we feel we are in danger. Instead of seeking outsider help and support, initiate things at your end and then seek help. If the cause is righteous, people will come forward for help.

No Means No.

NO” definitely doesn’t mean a concealed “Yes”.  One has its own self respect and dignity to reject what he or she feels even after agreeing first. We often look for obedient and many a times we take things for granted. Say ‘No” and stick to the word, its own life.

Knowledge is power:

Get knowledge on the solve the problems. Today many of the information are available online, use right tools and techniques to obtain knowledge to solve the problems rather than depending for help. Knowledge ensures we are not dependent on others.
