Audiobook
Narrated by the author
The voice of the author is so serene and simple and mellow that the book has the risk of putting you to sleep! In any case it does calm you!
The author states that this book will change you! But do not try to intellectualize what you learn! He says that your life will transform in ways you could not even imagine!
What he tells will be simple and your brain and ego will prevent it from accepting it!
It may lead to an increase in wealth by many times! You may end up more happy and have a better health! These are his bold promises!
Truth is always simple is his starting line and he says that thinking is the only thing which is stopping you! This is the core point of the book; do not think! Bad thoughts or in fact any thoughts are not good for you!
He says how children are happy all the time since they do not think!
In a way he begins by giving gratitude to the listener for giving time to the author and yourself!
The author tells the listener to come with him on a journey to find out the root cause of suffering!
The Budha and the two arrows! The parable here is that any time we suffer misfortune, two arrows fly our way. Being stuck with the first is the issue and the second arrow which is more painful is to think about the suffering! Basically it means that the first arrow is inevitable and cannot be avoided but the more painful second arrow is basically our thought about it! Which can be avoided!
The author tells about his journey to find the solution to his problems including diet meditation, structured living and the author claims that if there is something to do, he would have probably done it!
Still he felt helpless and hopeless! Then in the darkest of times he found the light and the coach who told him that one who looks around him is intelligent but one who looks within him is wise!
And finally he realized the answer was clear! Thinking is the cause of all suffering!
Then the story of the Monk who used to get angry when he tried to meditate and his mentor finally made him realize that he is not angry at others but himself! Or rather his reactions to the people and situations which caused him to be angry! And like the Panda in Kung fu Panda, found his inner peace!
Mind is always to keep us alive while our consciousness is for fulfilment! We must try to reach out for the consciousness!
Here he talks about how everyone is connected to everyone else and the universe and about the Universal mind by Sidney Banks!
This universal mind is the Divine inspiration and this no boundary no limit. I liked section since it is similar to the Hindu philosophy! God is everywhere and within us!
Every few times he makes you pause! He will ask you a question like what is your happiness? or what made you happy? Or what were you doing the last time you were happy? and so on. He deliberately tells you to stop and think about these before you answer!
Faith and trust is the only way to realise this inner peace which you can call
Inner feeling or gut feelings or intuition or GOD!
Think what you want is enough! Not how or what! Think that you will get it and the universe will handle the rest!
Thoughts in our minds are not facts! The problems are only in our thoughts! So even grammatically speaking, Thinking and thought are not the same!
We are part of the universe and connected to one another and thinking prevents the download of universal consciousness!
Universal intelligence is there everywhere! We are the source and part of Infinite intelligence! All you need to do is trust your intuition and do not think!
We are only always one thought away from peace love or joy! If you not think like how a child does then you get back to the factory default setting full of love and joy and part of infinite intelligence!
Make space in your mind so that the infinite intelligence can get in! The story of the monk and the new student has been told to reinforce this! Here the monk wants to teach a new student who had so many doubts. He offered him tea and poured it to the brim but did not stop! When the tea dripped over, the student exclaimed, “Stop! There is no space left in the cup to receive more tea!” The Monk then smiled and said, “Your brain also is like the full cup of tea! make some space for it to receive and then come back to me!”
Framework to stop thinking- realise that thinkin is the root cause of all problems! Do not be afraid to be alone with your thinking! and finally
Allow yourself to enjoy the positive feelings by not thinking!
In the conclusion the author has mentioned how you can do this by Maintaining a journal or Divide into categories and slowly but steadily come to your true potential.
He has also advised to use his methods available for download from his website and also partner with him in case you have any explosive idea!
Read it if like me you think a lot and are over anxious! It may help!
