Master the Mind: a guide to joyful living
Everyone wants to live a joyful life. No one wants to live amiserable one, or feelhurt, angry, depressed or lacking inself worth. We know we shouldn’t fall into theseharmful emotions or attitudes, but we do anyway. More often than not, this tide of negativitybecomes a way of life which seemstoo powerful toresist. It gives rise to the question: are we able tochange the way we think to livecontented and happylives? Or is it just the way things are?When I was a young man many questionspuzzled me. Ifelt like Iwas merely treading water, that an essential ingredient was missing, one which I couldn’t put my finger on, nor understand. Life was a mysteryhiding a secret. In the 1980s I travelled to India to study with a legendary Master tofind answers to thesequestions. During my time there, I learned many things such asthe meaning and relevanceof thegreat yogas: Karma, Gyan and Bhakti (the ways of action, knowledge and love), as well as the subtleties ofmeditation. I was taught the essence of the Vedas, Bhagavad Gita and otherprofound spiritual writings. One key point however, was the necessity to understand the importance of the mind, how it works, and how it can beshapedto bring out the best in your life. In other words, we/you can change. To live a happy, joyful life is in fact our true nature. The great Sage, Ved Vyas, wrote: Everything you do in life has the singular aim to be happy. There are no exceptions. The underlying motive behind all actions is to be joyful. It is your essentialnature, anditcompels you to happy. When you think about it, no two human faces out of 7 billion people are the same, no two leaves on a tree are the same, no two thumbprints are the same. and yet, without being taught, everyone instinctively desires to be happy. It truly is our nature to be so. Why dowe struggle and often fail in this endeavour to be happy?Because of the way we use, or misuse, the mind. It is such an extraordinary power that itdemands respect if we are to get the best from it. SageVed Vyas cautions us: The mind can either liberate you and bring you joy, or it can bind you, and bring you misery. It has the potential to do both. How do we change our thoughts for the better then? It seems such a hard and arduous road to travel upon. One reason many feel like this is simply due to habits thatare strongly engrained because of a lifetime’s practice of thinking a certain way. Habits may be hard to change, but not impossible. Many have succeeded in doing so, and so can you. All you need do is gain true knowledge of your self, of the power within, of your mind. If a room has been dark for a billion years but is suddenly exposed to light, the darkness will automatically recede in deference to light. In the same way, ignorance of the mind, of your inner nature, of the world, will also recede in the presence of true understanding. From where can this knowledge be found? There are many sources available but the most profound comes from the Vedas andthe Bhagavad Gita. It is from the essence ofthese writings, and fromthe teaching I learned from my Spiritual Master while living India, that I will present to you in this course. Your mind is genuinely the mostpowerful thing you have. How you think determines everything about you: your life experience, how you feel about yourself and the world around you. It shapes your present and builds your future. It is pivotal to your essential well being. This course is the beginning of realising your true potential and moving towards it. Mastering the mind is about you, aboutharnessing and focussing your mind to live a genuinely joyful life. Join me and discover this for yourself. SincerelySwamiji (Swami Govindananda)TESTIMONIALS:”It was a genuine privilege to host Swamiji at Yoga Synergy. For 90 minutes he spellbound more than 80 people with his depth of knowledge, sense of humour and beautiful presentation. One thing really stood out and that was his ability to speak on profound philosophical subjects in a most easy to understand manner. A wonderful evening. Thank you Swami Ji.” -Simon Borg-Olivier, Director.”I’m writing this to say thank you for all your videos and recorded sessions that I have had a chance to watch. My life is full of questions and even more answers! I know that some people would say, how come? There is a question – there is an answer, right? But not in my case, well, at least in the past 3-5 years. I’m glad that one day, I was looking for the answer about Yoga Philosophy, and I have found your three videos, Yoga Beyond the Mat. This trilogy, became my basic but so clear pathway to somewhere else, where some simple principles turned out to be the only way to follow up! I wish you a long life and many, many years of delivering the wisdom of the life to our hearts. Thank you for your time you take to teach us the principles of the Universe! I wish to meet with you in person, but it is just for one reason – to look into your eyes and to say thank you! Namaste”, Arsenal R.”I was delighted to have Swami Ji at our centre in Noosa, despite not knowi
