Book Review | Mind is your Business |

Image result for mind is your businessMind 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
