Books Everyone Must Read – Book Eight

Book: Tao of Jeet Kun Do

Author: Bruce Lee

Today (27th November), on the birthday of great legend Bruce Lee, delighted to share name of one of the best books, I ever read. Tao of Jeet Kun Do. 

Bruce Lee lived only for 33 years, but his achievements & contribution in the world of Martial Arts are remarkable. People know him as an action star & founder of JKD, But he was also a great philosopher. This book is reflection of his wisdom. Basically, this book is for Martial Artists, but I believe anyone who will read this book, find something that will change his or her life forever.

Bruce Lee started the book with ancient poem, describing power of a soul free from thoughts & emotions. How to live in world without being part of world, from mindfulness to no-mind-ness state.

This book will teach you:

1. To think big. From a leaf to tree, and tree to forest.

2. To look at big picture of life. How everything in your life is connected to each other.

3. Living without Ego, but with Discipline.

4. Moving like water. Soft & Flexible, Yet Strong.

5. To see things & world as it is, and not as you want to see it.

6. Life beyond Like & Dislike, For & Against.

7. Ultimate JKD combat techniques with proper training.

The Books everyone must read – Book Six & Seven

The Books everyone must read – Book Six & Seven

Book Six: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Book Seven: Thought Power by Sri Swami Sivananda

If today someone asks me, what is biggest challenge for humans. My reply would be “To Live in Present.”

Reasons of most of worries, frustration & depression in today’s human’s lives are their own mind.

Today man wants to control everyone and everything around him, but never succeed to control his own mind. Mind is Restless. It loves to wonder either in the memories of past or in dreams of future.

Since these two books addresses the same problem, how to rule the mind instead of being ruled by mind. I have kept both together in my series.

Reading these Books, you will Learn:

1. You are not your mind. Your thoughts are too form of Energy.

2. Why mind hates to live in present? Why it loves to wander in future & past? How it does?

3. Connection between body and mind.

4. Peace is beyond happiness & unhappiness.

5. Types & Power of Thoughts.

6. How to control & manage, mind & thoughts.

The power of now, you can get at any book store or e-commerce site, Thought Power is available at:

So, if you can win your own mind, you can win anything.

Keep Reading, Learning and Growing. Thanks. 

गुरु तेग़ बहादुर साहिब जी के बलिदान दिवस पर उनके चरणों मे कोटि कोटि नमन।

गुरु तेग़ बहादुर सिमरिये घर नौ निध आवे धाये सब थाई होए सहाय।

गुरु तेग़ बहादुर साहिब जी के बलिदान दिवस पर उनके चरणों मे कोटि कोटि नमन। हिन्दू धर्म की रक्षा और मर्यादा के लिये दिये गये बलिदान के कारण उन्हें हिन्द की चादर की उपमा भी दी जाती है। कई महान विद्वान और पंडित उन्हें भगवान शिव का अवतार भी मानते हैं, क्योंकि न सिर्फ़ उनके उपदेश बल्कि उनका जीवन भी उन सिद्धांतो और मार्ग को प्रदर्शित करता था, जो भगवान शिव अक्सर सती/माँ पार्वती, नंदी और अन्य शिवगणों को बताया करते थे।

आज का मनुष्य मोह और माया के बंधनो मे इस कदर फँसा हुआ है, कि वो यथार्थ की दुनिया से अलग अपनी ही दुनिया मे विचरता रहता है, ये जानते हुए भी जीवन अल्प-कालिक है, जीवन का कोई भी क्षण आखरी क्षण हो सकता है, समय का सदुपयोग नहीं कर पाता। जीवन सुख और दुःख का एक संगम है, कुछ भी स्थायी नही, सब कुछ परिवर्तनशील है। ये जगत और माया और कुछ नही, मात्र ईश्वर का एक खेल, एक लीला है, जो यह समझ लेता है, और खुद को ईश्वर को समर्पित कर देता है, सब बंधनो से मुक्त हो जाता है। गुरु साहिब की बाणी श्री गुरु ग्रन्थ साहिब मे दर्ज है और इस विशाल समुन्दर रूपी जगत में भटकते मनुष्यों को राह दिखलाती है।

चिंता ता की कीजीऐ जो अनहोनी होइ ॥

इहु मारगु संसार को नानक थिरु नही कोइ ॥

जो उपजिओ सो बिनसि है परो आजु कै कालि ॥

नानक हरि गुन गाइ ले छाडि सगल जंजाल ॥

Happy Gurpurab - Guru Nanak Dev Ji !

सतगुरु नानक प्रगटिया मिटी धुंध जग चानण होआ ।। जिउ कर सूरज निकलिआ तारे छपे अंधेर पलोआ ।।

सभी मित्रों को सिख धर्म के संस्थापक और प्रथम गुरु श्री गुरु नानक देव साहिब जी के प्रकाश पर्व की हार्दिक शुभकामनायें।

यूँ तो ईश्वर किसी न किसी रूप मे अवतार लेते ही रहते हैं, पर कभी कभी वो स्वम द्वारा रची दुनिया का अवलोकन करने और जीवों का उध्दार करने हेतु मानव रूप मे प्रकट होते हैं, गुरु नानक देव जी भी ईश्वर का एक ऐसा ही रूप है। जीवों के उद्धार और सत्य का सन्देश जन जन तक पहुँचाने के लिए उन्होंने विश्व भर का भ्रमण किया और लोगों को भक्ति का सही मार्ग दिखाया।

ईश्वर किसी कर्म काण्ड या रीति रिवाज़ों से नहीं बल्कि सच्चे और पवित्र मन से मिलते हैं। ईश्वर के लिए सभी जीव एक समान हैं और वो सभी से एकरूप प्रेम करते हैं। बेईमानी के पकवानों से ईमानदारी की सूखी रोटी बेहतर होती है। ईश्वर को सिर्फ ईश्वर की इच्छा से ही जाना जा सकता है, फिर भी यदि कोई भी ईश्वर को जानना चाहता है तो गुरु नानक देव जी की बाणी जप जी साहिब और गुरु गोबिंद सिंह साहिब की बाणी जाप साहिब का पठन, अध्ययन और मनन जरूर करे।

इस शुभ दिन ईश्वर से यही विनर्म निवेदन और प्रार्थना है, शीघ्र ही पाकिस्तान का भारत में पुनः विलय जिससे गुरु नानक देव के जीवन से सम्बंधित सभी पवित्र क्षेत्रों के सुगम दर्शन उपलब्द  हो सकें और मनुष्य गुरु जी के बताये रास्ते पर चल कर अपना जीवन सार्थक कर सकें। _/\_
