Ep 21. In this episode we summarize the main aspects of starting to understand our mind and providing with a healthy nutrition to our mind. The mind, very subtle, quite less understood and too much dependent upon, we are almost slaves to our mind's wants and wishes. A prelim understanding of our minds is invaluable in the long process of establishing oneself in the seat of happiness.
This is the final episode of the season & a must-listen one!
Ep 20. In this episode we talk about broadly classifying our emotions into spontaneous & trained emotions & discuss how spontaneous emotions lead to much trouble & unhappiness. We share lessons from a 2010 HH Dalai Lama's retreat where he explains our internal biases & our natural responses to spontaneous emotions & how an intellectual intelligent study of the Self could lead to a well trained response.
Ep 19. In this episode we talk about building an understanding of change & the changing nature of our lives. Understanding change & accepting change as the only Truth of life could be a huge relief and prevent us from resisting changes. Rather, a good understanding of the constantly changing nature of our existence would help us to build reverence & respect and mitigate, if not completely eliminate, stress from our lives.
Ep 18. In this episode we talk of 2 very simple yet very effective practices of self analysis, mental introspection and quieting the mind. These can be done anywhere anytime. However, depending on the earnestness we have & the purity of our intentions, it may start showing great results from early as 3 months.
Ep 17. The Buddhist texts as well as the ancient Indian philosophers have explained the nature of existential problems & the pain & suffering that comes with it. A large part of the pain & suffering that we encounter can be managed & mitigated with a proper understanding of the nature of our existence, our dependency on each other & the right perspective of pain & suffering. We also wish to extend our prayers to those affected directly & indirectly by the sufferings caused to people due to the ongoing Ukrainian war & hope that peace descends quickly upon us.
