ThinkRite

There was an interesting question during the last Intro Session for Unlimited Power. One of the participants who attended was surprised when Kirtanya listed out the methodology of the course. She mentioned NLP, Transactional Analysis, Silva Mind control and Life-Skills as ways to tap into the Unlimited Power each one of us has within us. He was stunned to see that none of the Indian sciences were listed and was curious to know if we (Indians) did not discover anything at all in the mind power arena.

The truth is, in the ancient days there was no parallel to the Indian Sciences when it came to addressing the human mind and life. Just think about it, we had everything, a nice climate, riches, wealth, forests, rivers; we were just too bountiful. On the other hand the western hemisphere at the same time was caught up in a turmoil of wars, harsh climates; their energy was so much focused on surviving the extreme weather. The Indians having no challenges to conquer in the external world turned their entire attention inward. The mind and consciousness and human life became very interesting research subjects for them.

And so there was an outpouring of greatest of works on the science of mind itself. The yoga sutras of Patanjali, The Vedas, Vedanta, Brahma sutras, Upanishads, Yogavasishta, every one of these is a miracle even to read through. In fact, it is said that the Mahabharatha is an ultimate thesis on the various human personalities and it contains 72000 characters each representing a personality type. So India had no dearth for wisdom. Some of its treasures still stay on.

However, the same cannot be said of the modern day India. Over a century now we have been harping on the past glories. With the advent of the British rule and subsequent poverty we have become increasingly preoccupied in solving the external challenges and are oblivious to the internal ones. The roles are in a sense reversing between the west and the east. With its high levels of sophistication, pleasure in the external world, and breaking families they are increasingly searching inward for answers and so research into the human mind has picked up momentum. With technological edge they are precisely able to study the human brain itself and so are paving way for some of the greatest discoveries in human history itself. 

It is actually a pity that when technology is at its peak, the brilliant Indian minds are preoccupied with selfish miseries. In the modern era we seldom shine in our ancestor’s strong forte, our inborn talent – the mind. Of course there are the modern Gurus who teach on the mind but more often than not they are mouthed words than a direct personal discovery or an experience and always tainted with a religious bias. The need of the hour is brilliant young Indian minds dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the human mind-brain organ. The aptitude for this is in our very genes. The result of such dedication will be mind boggling discoveries that will help the human species itself cross the last frontier – the mind.

Waiting for that day!

The flow of life is indeed awe-inspiring! Arunachalam, a participant of Unlimited Power was overcome with speechless gratitude as he experienced his compassionate side on Thursday. Just before a week he had attended our weekend course through a strange coincidence. In fact he was supposed to attend the course the next week along with his friends but somehow decided to attend it the week before.

During the progress of the relationship session, his hatred for his father melted like dew drops in the sun. While sharing with the class, he related…

“I had nursed a deep hatred for my father all these years because I felt he had suppressed my mom all her life. He is seventy eight and is bed-ridden; he suffers untold miseries because of ill health and old age. And I used to think with hatred, that he has to suffer more! But now I feel so much of love for him and compassion. I experience his pain. After I go home I will surely make up for all the lost years of love and care.”

Four days later he came back and shared his testimony about how lovingly he relates to his father. The next day morning ( March 27th 2009 ), the old man had passed away peacefully in his sleep, a satisfied and a fulfilled soul.

No words can describe the profound feelings of all the Rite-Thinkers who had been a witness to this incident. What would have happened if Arunachalam had come just a week later? He would have spent his life in misery and his father would have died an unhappy soul! Arunachalam would never forget the final four days of the smile in his fathers face!

Nor will we. We vow to spread this smile on as many faces as possible.

Here is a riddle for you. Think well and answer. Take three guesses!

Mountains cannot stop me. Wind cannot blow me. Fire cannot burn me. Water cannot wet me. I am faster than light and fleeter than wind. Who am I?

I am the MIND of course! Congratulations to such of you who have hit upon the right answer.

We, at ThinkRite have begun a business to meddle with this faster, fleeter, nimbler, mischief making flow of thoughts. We promise that our kind of meddling will do you a world of good. But first things first, we would like to let you in on a little secret. Psst… Give us your ear… It is about the Right that is spelt wrongly in our name ThinkRite. It is meant to reflect our mission to set certain things right about the present definition of Right.

What the hell do you think of yourselves? Set right Right? What presumption! Yeah, we hear you. But just think of it. We are sure you will appreciate this with us. Well, what is suffering or stress or pain or misery that everyone is worried about? Isn’t all suffering a movement away from the What Is to the What Should Be? We divide everything and put certain affairs in a basket called Right and put the rest in a basket called Wrong and spend our time in an endless game of justification and condemnation. We don’t even realize that we lose unimaginable amounts of life-energy in the process. We live as mere shadows missing out the vibrancy and the love of life.

It is especially relevant to our inner world. The constant psychological becoming in trying to move from the Wrong to the Right, from Bad to the Good, from Foolish to the Intelligent, from the Imperfect to the Perfect, from the Profane to the Sacred is the ongoing struggle of man. This division has been the source of all the inner conflict in us. We deny the What Is to move to the What Should Be missing out on the beauty of the present moment in this never ending movement. Also because of this division we are taught What to think, and never How to think. You are taught to think only the right and positive things and to shun the bad and the negative but never taught the art of thinking itself. In effect we are automatons that are biologically programmed to think only certain things over and over without any awareness. Very few of us actually know to think on our own or for that matter what we think.

ThinkRite is not about giving you a code of conduct to follow meticulously, and punish yourself if you miss out on a few rules. Instead it questions the fundamentals of your assumptions and prods you into thinking. It tells you to Think Rite. In every one of our classes and processes you will find intensely freeing liberation that will set you on a wild joy ride through life. You will give anything to taste the Aha moments of our mind boggling insights into yourself, the games, the nature and the structure of your mind.

ThinkRite is all about freedom from your own thoughts. It is about the joy of the freedom within and the happiness of success outside.
