Swami Mukundananda, global spiritual leader is a senior disciple of Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji Maharaj and Vedic scholar. In this challenge, Swamiji highlights with characteristic lucidity and razor-sharp insight, the ancient wisdom of the Vedic scriptures to utilize the most powerful instrument in our possession to accomplish any goal - our own mind.

The beauty of the power of mindset is that it is an internal resource we all possess. If we can train our mind and intellect, their immense potential will get unlocked. - says Swamiji, bestselling author of the 7 Mindsets for Success, Happiness and Fulfillment.

Mind Management Challenge: 4 Ways It Can Help You

 One who rules their mind, rules the world  –Shankaracharya

1. Develop Focus and Self Control for Success

Why should you do this challenge? Our success in life depends on the extent to which we can focus and control the mind.

It takes practice and determination to control the mind  - an entity that a warrior as determined and focused as Arjun describes to Shree Krishna as being “even more difficult to control than the wind” - and channel it for the highest good in every situation. 

2. Master the Art of Positive Thinking

We have all experienced how anything from spilled coffee to a botched-up presentation can set the tone for the day and bring up painful subconscious wounds that lead to self-sabotage and unfulfilled potential. Remaining chained to our negative emotions, and desperate for relief we gloss over them with material distractions such as food, television, or socializing, while the root of the problem - our mind - takes a backseat. 

That’s where the Mind Management Challenge steps in - to help us address the very emotions we fear and transform them positively - to help our powerful mind work perfectly for us and not against us.

3. Cultivate Empathy for Better Relationships

Being aware of our own emotions can help us to empathize with others, and thus help us to extend understanding and encouragement even if people act negatively with us. Those with empathy strive to not hurt others either by judging or by way of their actions and thus act with integrity, accountability, and kindness. Not being selfish, they promote trust and cooperation everywhere they go, and people love to work with them.  

4. Facing Crises With Boldness and Compassion

Emotional Intelligence is a highly valued skill in today’s day that determines effective leadership.  Founders of the theory, Peter Salovey and John Mayer described it as, “The ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to facilitate thought, understand emotions and to regulate emotions to promote personal growth.” [1]

In times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic, heads of state, business leaders and managers are measured on their ability to marshal their team, keep morale high and thus get things done, despite prevailing negative sentiments. 

People with high emotional intelligence can regulate their emotions flexibly to remain productive and are emotionally resilient in the face of setbacks - they are internally motivated. They are experts at managing themselves and are therefore effective in managing teams, especially resolving conflicts amicably.

 “Those who are indifferent to worldly gain, externally and internally pure, skillful, without cares, untroubled, and free from selfishness in all undertakings, such devotees of Mine are very dear to Me.” - Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12, Verse 16.

The perfection of human life is verily the bliss of selfless, unalloyed service and devotion to God!

With an elevated and noble goal such as this, we cannot but become the best and happiest version of ourselves, if we apply ourselves fully.

How can this goal be accomplished until the mind is reigned in to work for this highest goal? The world is what it is, people are as they are. Till when can we leave the key of our emotions in the hands of so-called “hurtful” people and circumstances? It doesn't hurt them, only us.

The reality is that however the world may be, it is a creation of God and therefore perfectly designed… for our evolution! Not for us to get comfortable. God Himself knows that our highest happiness lies in Him and thus pushes us benevolently in every way - with challenges if need be - to express the best of ourselves in the worst of situations.

What will it take for us to stop lamenting and start growing? Knowledge...and commitment to grow.

Arjun was a warrior before he heard the Bhagavad Gita. He remained a warrior after he heard the Bhagavad Gita. What was the difference? His elevated consciousness. 

“Uddhared ātmanātmānaṁ nātmānam avasādayet

ātmaiva hyātmano bandhur ātmaiva ripur ātmanaḥ” - Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6 Verse 5

Elevate yourself through the power of your mind, and not degrade yourself, for the mind can be the friend and the enemy of the self.

The Bhagavad Gita was spoken on the battlefield for a reason - to prove that even in such situations it is possible to lead life like a warrior - with strength, courage, grit, readiness, humility, grace and most of all joy and equanimity.

Good knowledge is the basis of lasting transformation. The knowledge of the Vedic scriptures provides us the strong foundation needed to govern our intellect.

Armed with Vedic wisdom, we can win the battle of our inner world, no matter what our outer world looks like! Like Arjun, we can tackle this great obstacle course called life with aplomb and discover the perfect and powerful beings we are meant to be.

This is best accomplished under the guidance of an experienced spiritual teacher. Swami Mukundananda’s lectures have transformed millions worldwide for the past three decades to lead productive and happy lives aligned with the highest and most beneficial purpose.
