INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Hello and welcome to the malkan show podcast. I am big normal car. Thanks so much for joining me today on this episode of the podcast. I know your time is valuable and I'm really happy that you're listening to me today.

I have begun with this podcast because after being coached by the world's best I wanted to share with you guys what success habits success tools and q's have helped me get to higher Levels of performance at work have a great relationship with my spouse and kids and bought it really helps me stay focused and motivated all the time. So guys, let's dive into the next episode.

The human mind is a marvelous machine and one can never understand it enough and this journey can be sure as exciting as it can be one important thing that comes to my mind when we talk about the human mind is the awareness and the realization on what is it that we are absorbing and we are filling our mind with all the time.

I mean on the day-to-day basis, so what image of our Self's that is offered to us by the outside world read mass media and how much of it do we want to assimilate guys? This is a very very important question to think about because if we think about it modern civilization is telling us all the time constantly that the human mind is no more than the physical body.

And of course that means that other people are physical objects to this is perhaps the greatest Superstition of  Our times guys because everywhere you go even if remind people that you are not a biochemical product you are a human being So in a way that you take very good care of your physical health, but the body is not you it is a house in which you are living for me suppose, you know, I am I am the resident in my body.

Meghna Malkan is my address but beneath all the shadow play of impurity and Perfection all the aggression and hostility that we see around us. Our real goal is our spirit which is at all times loving, wise and forgiving. this is the original goodness. And this is what defines us as human beings. Don't nutritionists remind us all the time that before we eat something we should ask ourselves that do.

I want this to be part of my body in the same way. You need to remind ourselves every time you go for entertainment or we switch off the TV that hey this experience is going to become part of me. Will I be better after watching it? Will it leave me Connors or will it agitate me?

Will it make me more compassionate or will it still up anger or relatively me depressed. So it's all about in a nutshell guy deficits all about learning to make choices and reclaiming the power to choose what goes into our mind because after all don't you like to choose the food you eat is the same way with what you feed your mind.

And when we start looking at everything like this one attorney goes out of life completely because making these Choices wisely throughout the day brings a deep integration of character of conduct and above all of consciousness. So the better you get to know your mind the more you realize that this is not just a question of the birria the Mind absorbs everything around it and everything that it is taking it in and a very important thing that comes to my mind when we discuss.

This is your the power of your association with the people that you surround yourself with. Let's take the analogy of a cloth a white cloth and let's compare our mind to it.

So when we compare our mind to White cloth the cloth takes the color of everything that it is dipped into and this guy's is a very sobering comparison because after being dipped a few times in a variety of experiences our mind can also become colored or a mine could really need could really do with the great bath. So then in a nutshell the a thing. The outcome of the analogy is that we become like those whom we associate with.

And this is I know there's an old and a cliched say but behind this lies an ancient bit of wisdom. What is good in us? And what is bad in us? Our strong points that are weak points are like they all develop because of constant association with everything and everyone around us. When we associate with come people become karma, when we associate with adjective people. We become more agitated when we frequent the company of people.

Who are wise to become wiser when our companies otherwise, we've come otherwise too isn't it? Have you noticed this in your life two guys? And your the The Tipping of this all is the more intimate relationship the more susceptible to this that we are because if he spent much time lot of time with people who talk negatively about themselves or others.

For instance. We begin to absorb these qualities and attitudes Says no matter how immune be may feel especially when we are vague about our own standards and values when we're not sure. And the reason for this guy's is simple we participate in other people's states of mind.

We doing that literally this is not this is not so far-fetched as it really sounds because we are physically because just as we are physically oriented we think states of Mind must be separate as our bodies are separate two. But the fact is guys thoughts do not come in containers Consciousness. We'll talk about it. It's kind of mental atmosphere.

mental states will come together like the air we breathe if one person the room has a virus or a few the others are likely to catch it in the air and the same way one person in the home or office is angry or fearful or depressed sad that state of mind will spread to all those That person and they in turn will spread to others. I'm sure if You observe this a lot in our daily lives, have you seen this at home at your work place within your friends your community Gatherings everywhere.

This kind of contagion is so common today that mental agitation in the form of anger or negativity or hostility or green. It's kind of, you know become an epidemic. As you did it people will always make a beeline for each other wherever you go and where do I see two people come together. The result can be totally explosive you can imagine even one agitated person is enough to disturb the whole home the whole office and even the whole community.

It's time for you to be alert guys even books magazines papers movies televisions conversations. All these are part of mental atmosphere that we live in and to live in Freedom. We have to ask ourselves constantly whether this is really the kind of error that we want to breathe in because these are real powerful influences on the kind of person that we becoming every day.

And if you come to think of it, even our thoughts are part of this atmosphere negative thoughts are the worst kind of company because it's so difficult to throw them out. That is why I advise that whenever you find yourself caught in negative thinking start repeating the start repeating the positive of a mission immediately when your mind is absorbed in the positivity. It has no room for their thoughts. It is always alert calm and focused.

So this desire for positive company comes naturally once we decide that we want to improve ourselves and as we begin to change inside some of our tastes and even friendships may change to its normal to start looking for the company of people who will strengthen the qualities. We are trying to develop into ourselves and this guy's is a positive side of the assault of the power of Association. We absorb good qualities too by spending time with people who really have those qualities.

for instance if you want to be secure and generous but does his associate with people who are secure and generous learn to be like them in their daily example, because by association we can become good by association. We can become strong and by association we can Elevate ourselves don't know blur way of life. And Sure, you must have experienced this as well suppose you are you're angry about something.

You want to express it by making others angry, too. We're making others by agitating others you go by mistake to the house suppose you go by mistake who’s house is calm and secure he comes to the door he just got trauma in his eyes. He says common in. You can omit it whatever you want it. just talk about and grant about it. As long as you like. Wow, and you start recalculating every Capital eating everything that's wrong in your life.

Every wrong that the world has done to you. How have you always been innocent and you know, it's so on and so forth and all your friend does is just sit in and listen and what happens then guys halfway you begin to say Maybe sometimes I do make mistakes around maybe sometimes I do provoke myself. And mind you at this point your friend is still not saying anything.

He's just listening with love and understanding but by the time your was it ends you find that you have calm down you and you just don't know what has happened to your education. It takes most of us a very long time to understand this phenomena, but what's really worked in this case guys is that you have become like that person that person.

Calmness has calmed you down and hence the adage. We become like those whom we associate with. It's like we are participating in their mental States and within this case it's happened for the better. And now if you really want to take this principle little further, let's talk about spirituality here because the highest form of spiritual Association is with those who embody our highest ideals and aspirations.

It's those people who remind us of what we want to be like in every way that we can it could be anywhere. It could be Jesus Christ to krishna, it could be compassionate Buddha or might be a a great Saint or other figure like, you know, like Mother Teresa Mahatma Gandhi, it could be anyone. And this does not require a physical presence because these guys are not physically present these figures they continue to guide us even after their bodies have gone.

They are influences are around us freely in this world helping those who respond with the unified heart. So, you know Newman has people like these they can be living companions of you all the time and every moment that you ask them for. So how do you take their counsel?

We can do this by reading about them by thinking about them my meditating on their words we can bring their presence into our daily lives. Guys, remember the deepest nourishment comes from within when the mind is still it absorbs strength from an inner source, that is not person. But it is universal. It's like, you know, like you're we focus so much on the nourishment of the body.

It is a mind that needs more nourishment and daily nourishment and constant nourishment and this can come in the form of thoughts like kindness and Good Will and this is an important thing to reflect upon everyone desires kindness, but what we really need is be kind everyone wants to be kind everyone wants to be loud.

But our real mean is to love all of us see gratitude respect understanding we feel star when we are treated otherwise, but what actually starves us is not showing gratitude respect understanding to others. That's what it is. And this guy's are the surest sign that that all of us are one. We are all one in this together and when you give to those around you You you nourish yourself as well. So go ahead guys focus on nourishing your mind first and do that every single day of your life and then notice the difference.
