Mind Is Your Business (Ebook)

The mind seems to be a rather dynamic entity – its mysterious workings have cast a spell on scientists, spiritual seekers, and even poets and novelists. Mark Twain once jested, “I must have a prodigious amount of mind; it takes me as
much as a week sometimes to make it up.” Though we freely use such terms as “never mind” and “mind you,” most of us still have a rather ambiguous idea of what the mind really is. Poets, psychiatrists and philosophers have each given their own take on the subject (often contradicting one another), and of course,
the cliché “Mind, Body and Spirit” finds mention in bookstores and spiritual expos all around the world.

However, for most people, the question is less about what the mind is, and more about what type of influence it has on our daily experience of life. Most of us experience the mind as a continuous and seemingly unstoppable train of
thoughts running through our heads. Behind this incessant flow lies a sophisticated web of likes, dislikes, attitudes, habits, inhibitions, morals… and so on and so forth, ad infinitum. This often unconscious patchwork determines
how we interact and relate to the world around us, giving shape to our joys, griefs, pleasures, and fears. Few indeed have the perception and depth to see the enigmatic strings which
bind this mind into a seemingly solid structure. Fewer are those who find ways to
articulate it.

In “Mind Is Your Business,” Sadhguru brings clarity to the conundrum, exploring the possibilities and the pitfalls of the mind, and how it can be cultivated for inner peace, joy, and effectiveness. Compiled from a variety
of discourses, this volume weaves together questions posed by seekers over the years – from the probing enquiries of hardened skeptics, to the exasperated pleas of ardent seekers. The questions are diverse, the answers multi–faceted. Addressing the questioner’s innate urge to know, Sadhguru answers more than the question posed; he clarifies even the underlying questions that remain
unvoiced.
