Life - The power of the mind!
Hello all,
Namaste! Hope all of you had a good week where you were able to use your thoughts, intentions and the powerful focus of the mind exactly for the things you want in life. Last week, we discussed how our dreams can be used as a guide to unravel the puzzle of our purpose or destiny. Each and every one of us has come to this realm to do our own unique purpose and in the meantime to know who we truly are. But many times in the chaos of the material life we get confused and lose our way in this jungle called life.
How can we figure out our way? Are there any tools we have been provided with to find our way? Or is it that we have been thrown into this chaos blindfolded without any idea where we are going or what we are supposed to do? Are we really blindfolded? In a sense, yes. All of us have five sense organs that give us information about our surroundings. They give us the power to know whether a truck is lumbering towards us, whether the food we are going to eat is safe for us or whether the music we are hearing is rock, pop or melody. All these sense organs give us a clue towards conducting a successful material run. But are these the only tools we have?
Of course, all of us have a brain that also helps us to make sense of the stimuli/information that comes flying across to us all the time. But what is another thing that really helps us to make sense of the chaos or the 'Samsara Sagara' (ocean of material life)? That, really is a friend if we make it and a foe if we allow it to roam around like a crazy monkey? Our mind. That is one huge tool in our satchel. It can take us to the highest realms of thoughts as well as the deep dumps of our emotional mess as well.
Here first let us discuss a bit the nature of our mind and how using the mind we can capture what we want for our life. How a powerful driven mind, is an asset for every human being? But are we using it properly to capture truly what we want for ourselves or are we using it for hundred different activities and dissipating its awesome power?
What is the mind? According to the Wikipedia, "The mind is a set of cognitive faculties including consciousness, perception, thinking, judgment, language, and memory. It is usually defined as the faculty of an entity's thoughts and consciousness. It holds the power of imagination, recognition, and appreciation, and is responsible for processing feelings and emotions, resulting in attitudes and actions." In other words, the mind takes all the data that come into the brain through all the senses, feelings, even other faculties like emotions and intuition and try to make sense of it. It makes us aware who we are and what are our thoughts, attitudes, perceptions, opinions, and viewpoints.
So let us read all the information in the above paragraph again. So the mind is truly what makes us who we are. As of now, I think scientists may not even have figured out whether the brain and mind are the same things. Is it that the brain is the physical structure and the mind is the perceived actions, attitudes and outcomes produced by the brain? Who knows? So mind is a faculty that is elusive even to its own full and total description. Such a mysterious faculty we all have. But are we using it fully?
As previously discussed in another post, only 10-15% is our conscious mind and it seems the remaining 85-90% is our subconscious mind. So the major bulk of the mind itself is hidden deep within our psyche. And it has been said that the subconscious mind if given a task would make sure it is completed. So such an awesome power should we use to capture our true purpose or should we dissipate in pursuits that take us very far away from our purpose? We need to give it a thought.
Now here let us discuss an awesome personality, who truly captured the power of the mind, used it to get the outcome he wanted and helped to change the history of India. He was a well-known Economist, strategist, leader, philosopher and a statesman. His story shows the awesome power of mind and how if it is really put to use can even change the history of a country.
Chanakya: Chanakya, also called Kautilya as well as Vishnugupta (c.350-275 B.C.E.), was the powerful minister of the emperor Chandra Gupta Maurya of the Maurya empire. Chanakya was assumed to be born in Taxila (Takshashila in Sanskrit), where he learned a lot of the ancient subjects and became a teacher for a long time. He was so knowledgeable, students and even other teachers were very respectful of him. Like this, he was living a very respectful life of a wise teacher.
1, Insult of Chanakya: During this time, the biggest kingdom in India was Magadha ruled by a king of the Nanda dynasty, Dhana Nanda. He was an arrogant and treacherous ruler and he was slowly losing the good name among his people. To reclaim his name, he was in the process of instituting some laws regarding the trade and taxes of the land. For that, he wanted a 'Karyakartha' (someone who looks after the Economy and rules associated with the kingdom, more like a minister). Being an expert in taxes, rules, regulations and Dharma principles, Chanakya thought that it would be a suitable position for him to apply. He was also well respected in Taxila and this also had made Chanakya very confident, slightly bordering on arrogance.
So to apply for this position he traveled from Taxila to Pataliputra (no emails or phone calls during those times ;-)). When he reached the court of Dhana Nanda, there were it seems nine gilded chairs. Eight for the eight children of Dhana Nanda and one for the person who was going to be the 'Karyakartha'. The king had not yet beenushered in to the court. Chanakya being very confident that he would get the position, as soon as he entered the court, knowing the first empty chair was for the minister, went and sat there. Seeing this the kids of Dhana Nanda started insulting him. At this time the king Dhana Nanda entered the court and seeing Chanakya sitting in the chair for the minister, not knowing the wisdom and knowledge Chanakya possessed, insulted him in his own way.
All of them were making fun of Chanakya for his ugly and dirty appearance. Remember Chanakya had traveled from Taxila to Pataliputra and maybe he was hungry and tired after the travel. Also, it is never okay to insult anybody that too without knowing who a person truly is. All the insults made Chanakya very angry. As the custom in those days, Chanakya had a tuft of hair on top of his head called a 'Kudumi', that usually people of the educated class kept. In the anger of the insult and the embarrassment he was made to feel, Chanakya, untied his tuft and keeping it open, in front of the king and his children took a vow that, 'he would not tie the kudumi, until the king Dhana Nanda, his kids and the whole kingdom was brought down to the ground'. Never make another person, our enemy. We may never know their might and mettle. Remember, same way Draupadi's united hair brought down the whole of the Kuru dynasty.
2, Meeting with Chandra Gupta: Chanakya came out of the palace. While walking after some time, he became aware that some grass was poking him in his leg. He saw that there was some grass growing on the side of the road, that was poking him. He sat there and deliberately pulled each grass out from the mud with the root and only stopped till every bit of the grass plants as well as the roots were removed and destroyed. This shows the determination and intention he had to take actions for whatever he set his mind to.
So he started walking again. After sometime he came upon some kids (8-12-year-olds), who were playing in the nearby forest or on the streets. Chanakya watched them for some time. One of the kids was conducting a court scene with the other kids, where for every scenario that was being dealt with in the court, he was giving the correct punishment or judgment according to the crime or the situation involved. Chanakya became interested in the boy. Once the play was over, he called the boy and asked him who he was?
The boy said his name was Chandragupta and he was the grandson of the second wife of the grandfather to the Nanda kids and had been orphaned at a very early age itself. The Nandas were the grandsons of the first wife, but this particular boy was the grandson of the second wife. (In those days Kings were allowed to have multiple wives as well as concubines. Too bad, females were brought to that status in those days. It is high time the divine feminine captures her total power, at least in the twenty-first century.) As the first wife is the queen, her kid Dhana Nanda and his kids became the heir to the throne.
Chanakya saw the potential in Chandragupta, how he was intelligent, courageous as well as wise. All the qualities for a king in the making. He took Chandragupta to Taxila or to Pataliputra (not sure), where scholars were there and started teaching Chandragupta all the knowledge, war strategies, and wisdom needed to be a king. Chanakya was also worried that the Nanda dynasty was pleasure-loving and negligent about the vast Greek army of 'Alexander the Great', who was approaching the western horizons of the Magadha empire. The Nandas were not concerned about the security, prosperity or the welfare of the kingdom of Magadha.
3, Making Chandragupta, the Emperor: Once Chandragupta became a youth and finished his studies to become the king, Chanakya formed alliances with other kings called Parvateswara (King Porus, who comes in Greek history) and others and defeated the Nandas and killed the whole Nanda dynasty. Then he made Chandragupta the king and became the 'Karyakartha' (prime minister) himself for the King. We never know who the other person is. So better to give them their deserved respects.
Wikipedia elaborates beautifully the conspiracies and the alliances formed by Chandragupta and Chanakya and how with war, strategy, mind and intention, they succeeded in getting what they wanted. Chandragupta later came to be called as the emperor 'Chandragupta Maurya' (because he was the descendant from the Moriya clan). According to some Jain test excerpts, Chandragupta ruled from today's Afghanistan in the west to almost Bangladesh in the east and the Deccan plateau to the south for a period of some 25 years.
During his reign, with the help of his minister Chanakya, he instituted political, social, cultural and economic reforms. Trade prospered, coins were minted, the tax reforms and land reforms were put into practice. Roads were made all over the subcontinent for easy access, transportation and trade. Metalworks and weaponry were given encouragement and an army of well-trained soldiers was kept to maintain the power and the land rule of the empire. The political and economic reforms were put into practice according to the text written by Chanakya- Artha Sastra (Science of Money or Economics). Chandragupta Maurya's capital city was Pataliputra, today's city of Patna in the Bihar state of India.
Chandragupta's son was Bindusara. Chanakya was a minister to him as well. Bindusara's son was Asoka the Great, whose Asoka chakra (the wheel of Dharma) adorns the center of the Indian flag today.
Analysis:
Now to the analysis. Think about the mind power of Chanakya. Nowadays if someone in an Indian family is smart and shrewd, they are even given the name as Chanakya, due to the mental might and power they may possess. That was the mental prowess and mettle of Chanakya. He was very intelligent, with a focus as that of a cat, astuteness as that of a fox and the wisdom as that of an elephant. He was so intelligent, perceptive, clever and sharp, his confidence slightly bordered on arrogance.
It was that arrogance that made him sit in the chair of the minister reserved at the court of Dhana Nanda. But the king being pleasure-loving and not wise, didn't realize the wisdom Chanakya possessed. If he had been wise, he would have used the wisdom and vision of Chanakya to bring about the expansion and the prosperity of his kingdom. Instead, he decided to insult the wise and shrewd Chanakya. This ended in his murder, destruction, and decimation of the Nanda dynasty. There is a proverb in English. 'Keep your friends close and enemies closer'. Here Nanda should have realized the mental might of Chanakya.
The story where Chanakya removed every single blade of grass shows the dedication, perseverance and the hard work he was ready to put towards achieving his goals and intentions. If he showed that attitude towards some blades of grass, think about the anger and revenge he was feeling towards the Nandas. He channeled his anger/ revenge towards the goal he wanted, the decimation of the Nanda dynasty and used the alliance with the mighty and courageous Chandragupta Maurya to get his ends. Chandragupta being very smart himself realized the power of the mighty Chanakya and accepted him as his teacher and advisor. Thus acquring a very smart mentor, the mentee became the mighty emperor and ruled the kingdom of Magadha for almost quarter of a century, when wars and land grabs were the rule of the day.
So if Chanakya, can use his mind power to destroy a kingdom and put into power, rule of another kingdom for a long time, think about how each of us are given the same mighty power of the mind. Chanakya didn't have any money or wealth when he was going out of the Nanda court. He was just a teacher from a well known University at that time, though the member of the educated class/Brahmin sect. He didn't have an army, wealth or the accessories to wage a war against the king of the land, Dhana Nanda. The only asset he had was the mental prowess, sharp vision, strategies to become a great advisor to the king, and his knowldege of political, economic and societal rule and law. Using that he achieved exactly what he set his mind to.
So each one of us has a mind that if we sharpen with our vision, focus, dedication, determination, perseverence, intention, action, diligence and clarity, can bring us exactly what we want for our material/intellectual/emotional and spiritual life.
Now the question is, do we desire or not desire to capture our inner Chanakya. That is always our free will and choice. ;-))
I wish you a good weekend and I'll see you next Friday! 😉
Next week: Life - The power of our intentions!

Ralph Waldo Emerson writes, "There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance ; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried".
