unMIND
Life happens within you and without you, life happens as per God’s will or a cosmic law. How and why things happen the way they do is beyond the human mind’s comprehension. Acceptance is Peace.
-Siddharth Tripathi
In today’s world we are all walking like a lost person trying to search for our True Calling. Spending days thinking about how to actualize or remake a fulfilling career. Worried about why our dreams and relationships don’t really work out in spite of our earnest attempts. Blaming and finding faults in ourselves.
In this book ‘unMIND a graphic guide to Self-realization’ the author and the illustrator have cleverly crafted a lucid guidebook to make an individual (seeking help*) completely realize their individual personality. The author has incorporated the teachings of Ramana Maharshi and Ramesh Balsekar about Non-duality (or advaita) i.e to stop identifying with the ego-sense or the ‘I‘ as the author repeats, and get in touch with Consciousness.
I loved the stories where the author talked about ‘working mind and thinking mind’ and the one where the spiritual guru instead of giving an enlightened speech tells the person to accept himself as a taxi driver, they were insightful and like a slap on the face…ouch. I recommend reading the book in a regular rhythm/ one part a day (and not one chapter in a day) to gain proper concepts or it might feel confusing (you might even misinterpret).
The author has beautifully assembled spiritual teachings with scientific facts and provided a step by step manual for lasting happiness. The illustrations are above par creative and most importantly; understandable.
If somebody is looking for a one-stop coaching into Self-realization (or self-actualization) it would be worthy to invest in this book. Also I shall be hosting a giveaway for the book so keep an eye out😎.
