🧘 Understanding the Five Koshas
This paragraph delves into the concept of the 'five koshas' from Indian philosophy and spiritual practices, which represent different layers of the self. The first layer, 'anamay Kosh', refers to the physical body. 'Pranay Kosh' is the energy body, which is vital for action. 'Manomaya Kosh' is associated with the emotional body and desires. 'Vijnan Kosh' represents the wisdom body, and 'Anandmaya Kosh' is the bliss body, linked to the soul. The paragraph emphasizes the importance of nurturing each kosha for holistic self-development, including physical health, energy cultivation through pranayama and yogasana, emotional balance, wisdom development, and spiritual bliss. It also introduces the concept of 'Ahar' and 'Achar', which relate to the intake of nourishment and avoidance of harmful influences on the mind.
🧠 The Mind's Influence and Control
The second paragraph discusses the nature of the mind as described in the Bhagavad Gita, highlighting its dual potential to be either a best friend or worst enemy when controlled or uncontrolled, respectively. It outlines the detrimental effects of an uncontrolled mind, such as lack of confidence, depression, and societal harm. The paragraph also uses the metaphor of a chariot to illustrate the relationship between the body, senses, mind, and soul, with the mind as the reins and the soul as the passenger. It stresses the importance of mental discipline and the formation of good habits as a means to avoid the pitfalls of an uncontrolled mind, referencing the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita on the mind's likes and dislikes.
🚫 Overcoming Bad Habits for Self-Development
This paragraph focuses on the impact of bad habits, such as excessive eating, drinking, smoking, and other vices, which can lead to unemployability and a disrupted life. It contrasts these with good habits like regular hygiene and prayer, which contribute to a positive lifestyle. The paragraph explains the concept of habits as deeply ingrained patterns of behavior that are challenging to change but can be shaped by the inputs we give our minds, following the 'Garbage In, Garbage Out' principle. It encourages a progressive approach to changing habits by altering our mental scripts, the media we consume, and the company we keep.
🌱 Cultivating Superior Intelligence for Mind Control
The final paragraph emphasizes the role of superior intelligence, or 'Viveka', in controlling and engaging the mind positively. It suggests that by choosing the right inputs—such as books, movies, and friends—one can encourage good habits and purify the mind. The paragraph uses the metaphor of a snake charmer to illustrate the idea of engaging the mind in a positive manner, thus avoiding harm. It concludes with a call to action for viewers to like, subscribe, and comment on the video, indicating a desire for ongoing engagement and learning.

Transcripts
Namaste everyone and now welcome to this
short topic that is the nature of Mind
before we dwell into
mind continuing from the previous topic
we have to see our existence at the
different different levels so there are
the five kosas that philosophy and even
Aura explains that the layers to the
self is in the five koses so here you
can see the five different koses are
being explained here so the first one is
called as anamay Kosh anamay Kosh means
that which is our physical body is made
up of that is anamay Kosh the next is
called as pranaya Kosh this is the
energy body that is made up of that is
pranay Kos the next is manomaya Kos
monom Kosh for stands for the emotional
body of ourselves then there is vigan
Kos vigan Kosh is the wisdom body of the
self and then there is anandaya Kosh
anandaya Kosh is for the Bliss Body
Bliss body is the soul proper so every
personality is a layer of these five
koshas anamay Kos PR Kos manay Kos VI
Kos and Anand K when you eat a good food
have a proper rest do exercise you are
making your physical body anamay Kos
very strong then we have to work on the
pros PR is refers to the the life air PR
and the doing of the pranayam yogasana
and this will help you build your energy
body that is pranam Kos then there is
the emotional body that is monaya Kosh
and then there is Vay and anandaya
Kosh so a proper nurturing of these five
different types of bodies is required so
for the anamay Kos one has to have a
proper bodily structure so if you go
across it is called as the explore
Express in involve knowledge and
Enlightenment okay so we have to explore
that is the Anam the physical body which
is the interactive system the structure
structure of the body and then we come
to the pranay Kosh which is the subtle
body first one is the physical body the
second one is the energy body that is a
subtle body uh where it is it gives us
power to act it is K shti right that is
the pranamaya Kosh then there is
manomaya Kosh that is the mental body
where we will or desire certain things
that is called as ITA shti kashaki is by
the praname where ITA Shi the desire to
do something comes from the monay Kosh
the mental body Gan Kos or Vian you call
it is the energy body which is about the
Gana sh knowledge coming from the
experience and then finally there is
Anand Kos that is the life's goal the
you know the higher dimensional goal of
one's life which is which leads to
Enlightenment or the Blissful experience
that is called as
Vios so hat yoga the book hat yoga has
hat pradipika it mentions these very
important five types of koser so the
nurturing is required at all these five
types many times we are simply happy
caring for the physical body but then
there is a deranged mind and then there
is you know the the there is no desire
the it Shi G Shi G Shi is not in sync
with just the bodily strength so for a
holistic perspective the holistic
nurturing of the self personality
development one has to develop all these
different types of kosa right that is
anamay Kos pramay Kos manomay Kos vay
Kos and anay
Kos so now here you can see how we can
develop this kosas based on Thea
principles one has to do Asana to
develop one's Anam Kosh that is the body
so you must have seen people do ASA Su
namaskar if you remember we have taken
the you know the ASAS also so that will
develop once's anay Kos pranay Kos when
you do
pranayam okay that will strengthen your
life force that is pranay Kosh then one
has to do
prahar that is avoiding the harmful
agents into mind to strengthen the
manomay Kos so ahar is not about what we
eat ahar is also what we see through our
eyes I mean what we see on our mobiles
what we see there what kind of websites
we visit what kind of inputs that we are
giving to our eyes to our ears to our
mind all this comes under the category
of AAR and the controlling that avoiding
the harmful agents into the mind is
called as prahar and that's what will
strengthens one's mental body that is
manomay Kos one has to do danana and
D by holding the Mantra meditation and
concentrating that will lead one to VI
Kos and finally the samadi or Anand Kos
is about uh meditation on the Supreme
Lord or in the philosophical sense the
meditation on the Supreme Lord Lord
Vishnu or Lord Krishna Lord Rama and
that is attaining the Anand May Kos so
this is how the prika explains the
development of different types of
kosha so one of the important thing that
is uh about the kosha is about manomaya
kosha manomaya kosha is all about how to
raise the Mind above the petty harmful
Temptations to purify one's mind one has
to broaden our Consciousness and that is
possible by changing the heart so
changing the heart from greed to
satisfaction Duality to compassion
arrogance to humility and in this
principle of satisfaction compassion and
humility one can
actually experience a change of heart
and broaden one's Consciousness and this
broadened Consciousness will purify the
mind right and this is how one can
ultimately attain the ultimate goal of
the human form of life
so when we are dwelling into the mind
let us come to what is the nature of the
Mind
bhagat Gita describes mind and the
nature of the Mind in a very descriptive
Vivid
fashion says the mind if controlled can
act as one's best friend but the same
mind if uncontrolled can become one's
worst enemy right so we need to sharpen
the mind just like the Steven K in his
seven habits book he writes
about the sharpening the saw similarly
one has to sharpen the Mind by taking
shelter of something which sharpens the
mind or delivers the mind so let's dwell
into what is mind and how it is
controlled or uncontrolled so mind if it
is controlled it is our best friend but
the same mind if it is uncontrolled it
is one's greatest enemy many times you
will see the people committing suicide
it is not for bodily
problem so much people have many of
times people have a very healthy body
but a diseased mind and because of that
one has to because if the mind is
uncontrolled the same mind is going to
act our greatest
enemy so let's come to this topic of uh
these are
the
byproducts of the uncontrolled mind lack
of confidence depression loss of trust
hypertension damage to oneself family or
Society weakened determination dangerous
diseases Madness so all these are
products of uncontrolled mind right so
it will lead to Disturbed senses fickle
mind and deranged intelligence right and
what is the these are disastrous impacts
of you know the uncontrolled mind you
can see people engaged in so many
different activities and the purpose and
the root cause of
this literally all the times is
uncontrolled mind right so uncontrolled
mind will give to give rise to many
vices and these vices will give rise to
uh disastrous situations
consequences in the previous part we
have seen how there is a chariot of the
body and the senses are compared to the
the horses the F senses then mind is
compared to the lagam or that is the re
intelligence is the driver the Chari the
soul is actually the passenger and the
soul is sitting on the Chariot of the
body and moving around and moving across
the Chariot of the
body so every specie is actually
struggling for survival right so
everybody is having is struggling for
survival and the struggle for survival
can be eased or can be worsened by
attitudes of the mind right so the
intelligent human
being should avoid these
traps right they should know what is the
Trap and what is necessary and not
necessary for the survival and lead a
Victorious
Life mind uncontrolled mind lead us to
bad
habits so there are many types of bad
habits right people uh you know they are
engaged in so many different different
things when we talk of the bad
habits so whenever somebody a company is
going to recruit a a student the company
will ask for for someone who is with
good habits or bad habits naturally
along with if the people of the same
competence person will go for person
with the same competent with good habits
so here is the list of some of the bad
habits uh the UNC controlled mind can
give us to lead to excessive eating then
boozing drinking okay every one hour he
goes for a 15 minutes smoke break that
is 25% productivity loss so why somebody
will engage someone who needs such a
frequent smoking breaks right he's
always unwell always on steroids or on
the injections he has you know the
office Place Affairs or he has a broken
uh family uh because of his habits a
spoiled brat so all these vices can lead
one to being unemployable or when we
work on these vices and convert them
into good habits it can make us even
better human being as such in Bhagavad
Gita Lord Krishna describes about likes
and dislikes of the mind and how mind
should be should be and should not be
taken seriously at different times
because engagement of the mind is what
is going to form it is going to form
different types of habits now look at
this word habit habit is very powerful
thing you know if you remove h a bit
remains remove a bit remains remove B
also it remains right so habit is very
difficult to
remove but formation of the right Habits
by you know what is how you define a
habit you Define habit has a regular
tendency or the settled way of doing the
things right practice that is very hard
to give up is called as habit or it's
the mental Constitution or attitude and
we take shelter of our habits good
habits or bad habits so here there are
some examples of a simple good habits
like brushing the teeth you know
studying timely praying to Lord these
are some of the examples of washing your
hands the corona times these are good
habits here you see the examples of the
bad habits right into into drugs smoke
and you know so on and so forth so so
these are this is how the habits is
defined by the Oxford
dictionary and to the degree we feed our
mind we are forming different different
habits and to the degree we slowly try
to control our mind slowly slow is a
very important thing slow and steady not
that from tomorrow everything is all
habits are going to be overnight they
are going to be changed ched but one has
to be on the Progressive path of
changing the Habit so we can change our
habits by changing our mental script
right because habits are addictive
habits are addictive and you know so
many experience of so many students for
last 25 years we have seen habits are
extremely addictive have seen very good
students completely lost in their second
year third year and coming out of a
spoiled brand at at their fourth year
have seen some bad of nobody's bad but
students with bad habits working on
themselves and you know having a working
in Fang or mang type of product
companies simply because they controlled
their habits they worked on their habits
right so here we have seen if you remove
what is habit habits are very addictive
if you you work on it and remove h a bit
remains work on it remove a bit Still
Remains work on it remove B it remains
so habits what is important is to form
the good habits and you know work on the
bad habits habits comes from the inputs
inputs comes from what we take in and
this is called as gigo principle gigo
means good in good out right whatever
you put in the dust bin same thing will
come out of the disin garbage in garbage
out so whatever we feed into our mind
that is what we are going to come out of
if we feed in positivity to the mind we
will have the positive outcomes if we
feed in the negativity to the mind we
will have negative outcomes therefore
what the script we are writing the
mental script what books we are reading
what movies we are watching what music
we are listening to what kind of friends
we are keeping in the hostel around so
the books movies music friends what kind
of uh web series you are watching
everything is going to form a habit
everything is going to shape our mind
and that's how we are going to form our
mental conceptions and this is how we
are going to lead a you know a right
kind or otherwise type of
life these habits can be controlled by
the superior intelligence which is
called as VI via means via means of
course the mind will give various
options but via means to distin the
subduing the Mind by Superior
intelligence and also by engaging the
Mind properly so here you can see the
Sapa is playing with this uh you know is
actually engaging this snake if the
snake is unengaged it will remain very
har harmful to to people but he is
engaging the snake very nicely and the
snake is making a dance there so
similarly right similarly the habits
should be engaged accordingly right so
control the senses like the torti or the
snake choose the books movies and
Friends carefully to get a right
encouragement to our good habits put
aside the likes and dislikes chosen by
the impure mind and remember the gigo
principle garbage in garbage out and
this is how one can actually purify
one's mind control one's mind and engage
it positively for
self-development thank you friends we'll
conclude here please
