पाठ बनाया जा रहा है...
1
This video will cure your overthinking.
2
A sad study came out a few years ago from Stanford
3
that said that 58 out of every 60 minutes we are either thinking about the past or the future.
4
Are you like this?
5
Are you an overthinker?
6
Well, if you want to cure your overthinking, this is the video for you.
7
Now, there are many ways to quiet the overthinking mind that absolutely do help.
8
They work, right?
9
Supplementation, meditation, journaling, breathwork, right?
10
If you're overthinking, then you're also under breathing.
11
I have courses about all of that in the description below.
12
They really do help, but without what I'm about to share with you in this video, they won't stick.
13
You see, the mind is a terrible thing to overuse.
14
Overthinking is a problem, right?
15
It's a problem that has existed for as long as humans have existed.
16
Even Mark Twain, many years ago, said, I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, most of which never happened.
17
is the art of creating problems that don't exist.
18
See, you must realize one thing, the mind is a great servant, but a dangerous master.
19
And the problem is you are probably being controlled by your mind.
20
But if you want to end your overthinking once and for all, then you are in the right place.
21
Watch this video to the end.
22
Once upon a time, there was a king who had the most beautiful but very wild horse.
23
Now, this horse could not be tamed.
24
The king decreed that he would handsomely reward anybody who could subdue his stallion.
25
Many people tried with all their strength but none was strong enough to overcome the animal.
26
Even the mightiest were thrown off and injured.
27
Well some time passed until one day the king saw the horse meekly obeying some newcomer's instructions.
28
The king was amazed and demanded to know how this man had succeeded where so many had failed.
29
The horse tamer replied, well king, instead of fighting your stallion, I simply let him run free to his heart's content.
30
And eventually he became fatigued and submissive.
31
It was then no problem to befriend your horse and gain command.
32
Now your mind is just like that horse.
33
If you fight and wrestle with it, you will never achieve mastery over it.
34
So you must adopt the wise horse tamer's method.
35
Let the mind follow its impulses and tendencies without restriction until it becomes ready and willing to accept our authority.
36
Give the mind free reign.
37
Don't suppress it, merely watch it and get to know it.
38
You see, to quiet the mind by force is as pointless as trying to flatten out the ocean by force, right?
39
You just make more waves.
40
What you resist will persist.
41
So the secret is do not try to stop the waves, but allow the waves because the nature of the ocean is to have waves.
42
And the nature of your mind is to have thoughts.
43
You can't think your way out of overthinking.
44
It is only by stopping, right?
45
A full stop.
46
Place your attention back in a pure present awareness state
47
and the mind will automatically steal because you are no longer feeding it with your attention.
48
You're no longer making waves.
49
Present awareness is the answer.
50
There's an ancient story from the Buddha and a reporter.
51
He goes up to the Buddha and asks him, Sir, are you a god?
52
To which the Buddha says, no. The reporter asks, okay, are you a saint?
53
The Buddha says, no. The reporter then says, what are you?
54
I am awareness.
55
There's another story where it was the master's day of silence and a traveler had begged for a word of wisdom, something that would guide him through his journey.
56
Now the master, he nodded and took out a sheet of paper and wrote a single word on it, handed it to him.
57
Awareness.
58
The visitor was confused.
59
Sir, this is too brief.
60
What does this mean?
61
Could you please expand on it a bit?
62
The Master took the paper back and wrote, Awareness, awareness, awareness.
63
But what do these words mean, said the stranger helplessly.
64
The Master reached out for the paper and wrote, Awareness, awareness, awareness means awareness.
65
See, we live in a world of always doing and fixing, which is why I love Anthony DeMello's book, which is titled quite boldly, Stop Fixing Yourself.
66
In this book, he says, simply be aware of yourself and things naturally fix themselves.
67
Now, how do we cultivate this awareness?
68
How do we do it?
69
Well, it's not a doing as much as it is a being.
70
You have to know who you are.
71
And I don't mean with a thought.
72
You see, a thought about a tree is not a tree.
73
It's a thought about a tree.
74
A thought about God is not God.
75
It's a thought about God.
76
And so a thought about you is not you.
77
It's a thought about you.
78
You see, who you are is prior to thought.
79
You see, most people live their lives believing that they are the voice in their hand, right?
80
This chatterbox.
81
But that's not true and most people they never investigate.
82
They've taken it on as fact, as true.
83
But you are not the voice in your head.
84
Because if you were the voice in your head then who is observing the voice in your head?
85
Because anything you can observe you cannot be.
86
This is why the Zen monks have a riddle that goes, if you see the Buddha on the road what do you do?
87
And the answer is kill him.
88
Because if the Buddha is anything observable or outside of you it is not you.
89
It is an illusion is not truth.
90
In order to tame the monkey mind or the elephant of our mind, we must simply watch it from the standpoint of awareness as consciousness.
91
And here's the important part.
92
You must watch the good thoughts and the bad thoughts, right?
93
The good thoughts especially, they are seductive, right?
94
They can trap you, right?
95
What starts off as nectar can eventually become poison.
96
So watch both because none of them are you.
97
Who you are is the pure witness before a thought because you observe the coming and going of all thoughts.
98
So you must be prior to thoughts.
99
There's a story that comes from the Indian sage Ramana Maharshi.
100
Many years ago there was a traveler who had taken about three flights to India.
101
To get to India he had to go up a mountain and he finally found this man, this guru named Ramana Maharshi.
102
And so after a few weeks he finally gets a chance to sit with Ramana Maharshi and talked to him.
103
When he sits with him, he asks him, he says, Ramana, master, can you tell me who I am?
104
And Ramana, he looks at him and he says, go back to where you came.
105
And this shocked the man, right?
106
It shocked everybody who was in the room.
107
They say, go back to where you came.
108
This is, this man took all of these flights and traveled all this way to see you.
109
And you say, go back to where he came.
110
How, how insensitive.
111
But what he meant by go back to where you came.
112
Go back to that place before ideas, before you created an identity of who you think you are, before the stories.
113
Go back before all of that.
114
Go back.
115
Go back before thoughts.
116
Go back to where you came.
117
Now, I love this story because what happens when you go back?
118
Well, you find out without a doubt that you are not the thoughts.
119
Anything you observe cannot be you.
120
You see, the brain is not a creator.
121
It is a receiver, and I'll prove it to you.
122
Close your eyes.
123
Take a deep breath.
124
Now tell me what your next thought is going to be.
125
Go ahead, pause this video and do it.
126
You see, what you find is it is impossible to predict your next thought because you didn't create it.
127
So when you say my thoughts, that's actually incorrect because it's not yours.
128
It simply came to you.
129
Nisargadatta Maharaj said, The problem is you think you have thoughts.
130
No, thoughts happen.
131
They're like farts.
132
They just kind of pop up.
133
You know this.
134
We all intuitively know this.
135
This is why when you forget something, you say, oh, it'll come back.
136
It will come back.
137
Right?
138
You know you're not creating it.
139
You are receiving it.
140
A close disciple of Ramana Maharshi said, whatever kind of thought arises, have the same reaction.
141
Not me, not my business.
142
It can be a good thought or bad thought.
143
Treat them the same way.
144
I love the analogy of the moon.
145
See, the moon appears to give off its own light.
146
But upon investigation, you find out that the moon has no light of its own.
147
The sun is the source which gives it its power.
148
And just like that, the mind appears to give off its own energy, but it gets its power from consciousness.
149
Some call it the self.
150
The mind appears to be in control, but you oxygenate it.
151
You give your mind life with your attention.
152
One of the most powerful techniques is a phrase from Ramana Maharshi.
153
He says, ask yourself, to whom do these thoughts come to?
154
To whom do these thoughts come to?
155
I sat for weeks, months doing this, asking myself, to whom do these thoughts come to?
156
After many weeks, after many months, the question itself, it seemed to disappear.
157
And I was simply present.
158
No thought, no me, no idea of me.
159
This is a very powerful pointing if you stick with it.
160
When you do this, you find out what you think you are, you are not.
161
You see, you have a body, but you are not the body.
162
There is something that observes the aging process of the body that itself doesn't age.
163
Your awareness of aging hasn't aged.
164
You had the same awareness when you were two as when you were 22.
165
It's the awareness that we want to stay with.
166
You see, you have a mind.
167
You are not the mind.
168
There is something that can observe the thinking process that must be before the thoughts happen.
169
And the final tip I want to give you is what happens when you do these practices, you see a cultivation of trust, a trust in the way things are.
170
You see, the intensity of your overthinking is in direct proportion to the intensity of your desire, your desire for a certain outcome.
171
It is the attachment to the outcome that creates overthinking.
172
But once you realize that all is well and unfolding as it should, you find peace.
173
You find peace in the now.
174
Many years ago there was a king and the king had many counselors
175
but one counselor in particular he loved he trusted very dearly
176
and this counselor would always tell the king say king all is well
177
and unfolding as it should right he would say all is well
178
and unfolding as it should now the other counselors they absolutely hated
179
that this counselor had such a close relationship to the king right they were jealous
180
so one day the king he was getting his royal haircut
181
and the royal barber nicked the king as he was shaving his beard.
182
Freak accident, almost hit a vein, and the king, he had to get stitches, right?
183
Well, the other counselors, they knew this was their moment.
184
This was their moment to sabotage the other counselor.
185
So they waited until everybody was together, and they asked the close councilman, they said, what do you think of the king's almost tragic accident?
186
And the counselor said, he said, well, what do I think?
187
I think all is well and unfolding as it should.
188
The king got upset.
189
He's like, what?
190
All is well and unfolding as it should.
191
What do you mean?
192
I almost, I almost died.
193
All this blood came out.
194
I have permanent scar stitches.
195
Guards, guards, lock him up, lock him in the, the, the darkest, deepest dungeon.
196
Quite a reaction.
197
Well, later that day, the king, he was so upset.
198
He wanted to just clear his mind.
199
So he would often take his horse out, just ride, you know, just to kind of get into flow and just go out and get into nature.
200
So he rode his horse, he rode, he rode, he rode, he'd lost track of where he was.
201
And pretty soon he was outside of his kingdom and he was in a land of the cannibals.
202
And before he looked up to recognize where he was, he got snatched off of his horse by a cannibal.
203
Well, they tie the king up and later that night they're gonna, what cannibals do, they eat people.
204
So they tie him up and they get ready to roast him.
205
And before they put him over the fire, one of the cannibals, he looks at the king's neck and he sees a scar and he says, oh, we can't, we can't sacrifice him.
206
He's not worthy of our gods.
207
We can't eat him.
208
He's impure.
209
Let him go.
210
so the king he takes his horse and he finds his horse
211
and he takes it and he rides he rides he rides back back to the castle
212
and he's thinking he's like oh man my counselor was right
213
had i not got this scar they would have surely eaten me
214
so he says he gets to the castle he says guards
215
guards let him out of the jail you know what i
216
will go i will let him out give me the key so he goes down to the deepest, darkest dungeon where he left his counselor.
217
And he opens the gate and he says, "'Counselor, you were right.
218
You were right.
219
When I took my horse out, I got attacked.
220
I got captured by these cannibals and they were going to eat me, but they saw the scar, so they didn't eat me.
221
You were right.
222
All is well and unfolding as it should.'" And the counselor, he was just in a cell.
223
He was in meditation and he said, "'Yeah, but that's not all, king.'" And the king says, "'Well, what do you mean?' He says,
224
well, who is the one who normally accompanies you on horseback when you want to free your mind?
225
He says, you are.
226
He says, yes, that's right.
227
And had you not thrown me in this deep, dark dungeon, I would have been there with you and they would have sacrificed me instead.
228
All is well and unfolding as it should.
229
So I want to leave you with a practice.
230
It is one of my most powerful practices to awaken to this awareness, to come into presence.
231
It's a technique that particularly aligns with the Western mentally focused mind and it is called neti neti.
232
So neti neti is a Sanskrit term meaning not this, not this.
233
In layman's terms it means that
234
if you want to know who you are then you have to know who you are not and discard it.
235
You see anything you think you are you are not because it is simply a thought observed by you.
236
Now when you do this you come to a place of silence.
237
You don't find the answer, the question spontaneously combusts and you are left with silence.
238
And as the great Sufi poet Rumi said, silence is the language of God, all else is poor translation.
239
So practice this with me.
240
I want you to sit comfortably in a quiet place, relax your shoulders, allow your eyes to close, take a deep breath.
241
And as you breathe in, think to yourself, I am.
242
And as you exhale, think to yourself, here.
243
So I want you to repeat this for a few minutes.
244
You breathe in, I am.
245
You breathe out, here.
246
I am, here.
247
I am, here.
248
Notice how your mind and spirit respond to this simple declaration.
249
Now without using your thoughts, associations, perceptions, emotions, or memories, are you black?
250
Are you white? Are you neither?
251
Are you a man?
252
Are you a woman? Or neither?
253
Are you a spiritual being?
254
Are you a human being? Or neither?
255
Start observing the voice in your head going on blah blah blah speaking without your permission.
256
Do not feed into these thoughts and do not reject them.
257
Simply observe them.
258
Come to a state of relaxed nowness, the feeling of beingness.
259
Simply become the pure observer, the witness, the background.
260
Without trying to change anything, do not even try to translate your thoughts into words.
261
Just stay in the silence, the space by which sensations flow.
262
Your birthright.
263
Come home to a place that you never left.
264
Thank you.

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण
वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:
| संरचना | वीडियो में |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है | being controlled · could not be tamed · were thrown |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है | has existed · have known · They've taken |
| Relative clauses who / which + उपवाक्य — व्यक्ति या वस्तु के बारे में अतिरिक्त जानकारी | anybody who could · fixing, which is · one who normally |
ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण
वक्ता 25 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे can't, don't, you're। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।
- “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: meditation /mɛdɪˈteɪʃn̩/, consciousness /ˈkɑnʃəsnəs/, sabotage /ˈsæb.əˌtɑʒ/, cultivation /ˌkʌltɪˈveɪʃən/, restriction /ɹɪˈstɹɪkʃən/
- लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: intensity /ɪnˈtɛnsɪti/, insensitive /ɪnˈsɛnsɪtɪv/, observable /əbˈzɜː.və.bəl/, oxygenate /ˈɒksɪdʒəneɪt/, spontaneously /spɑnˈteɪ.ni.əs.li/
हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:
- /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: observe /əbˈzɜːv/, traveller /ˈtɹævəlɚ/, awaken /əˈweɪkən/, cultivate /ˈkʌltɪveɪt/, insensitive /ɪnˈsɛnsɪtɪv/
- /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: observe /əbˈzɜːv/, observable /əbˈzɜː.və.bəl/, overuse /ˌoʊvɚˈjuːz/, observer /əbˈzɝvɚ/, translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/
- शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: scar /skɑɹ/, stallion /ˈstæljən/, stitch /stɪt͡ʃ/, spontaneously /spɑnˈteɪ.ni.əs.li/, snatch /snæt͡ʃ/
इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें
- पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
- 0.75× गति से शुरू करें, एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें, और सहज लगने पर सामान्य गति पर लौटें।
- अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर counselor, observe, cannibal जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
