There was a man who was on a cruise ship, he was overweight, he was out of shape. If you haven’t heard it, I’m going to share. But I heard this story, I wrote about it in my book, Like a Spark From Fire, they call it the log story. Maybe it’s part of my shadow I’m integrating. I am not out to climb mountains, or go on any extraordinary trip. I don’t know why, I think because I am not an adventure seeker. I’d like to start off, before we go into this, with a story. Tamas is lethargic, when you get sick and don’t feel you have a lot of energy, you’re not motivated, or even disillusionment with life, in the most deepest state can lead to depression and lack of zest for life. When you’re caught up in something, you’re passionate, it’s faster action, it feels sped up. Sattva is translated as purity, light, clarity. We can think of the qualities of the mind, the quality that is possessing the mind at that moment. The states of mind are called “gunas”, which translates as qualities. The original Upanishads talk about it, I have a right here, next to my heart. But of course, it goes back to the Upanishads. Very powerful stuff directly from the Gita. Today, we’re going to talk about the three states of mind that direct and influence your happiness. We may read higher knowledge, read the Gita, may understand psychological principles, but how do we apply it in a coaching model, which is non-brokenness, potential-based model that can go deep, not just about tips and setting goals, but really go deep into your psyche and have a transformation and higher knowledge. If you’re wondering what is it that we do, we started to extract the psychological principles from spiritual practices, and incorporate those principles in a coaching model, so that people can use this knowledge to solve their human problems.
