EVERY MIND HAS ITS OWN WORLD
EVERY MIND HAS ITS OWN WORLD We All Live on the Same Earth, but Each of Us Sees a Different World—Because Our Mindsets Are Different. Two houses stand side by side on the same family land. One is rectangular. The other is long and narrow. Between them lies one common garden. From one house, the garden appears rectangular. From the other, the same garden appears like a long strip. The garden has not changed. The viewpoint has. From this simple observation at his own home, Dr. Abhishek Gilara asks a much larger question: What if we are doing exactly the same thing with life? The same market looks like disaster to one businessman and opportunity to another. The same rejection becomes defeat for one person and motivation for another. The same competitor creates fear in one mind and learning in another. The same success creates gratitude in one person and arrogance in another. The same world can appear beautiful to one person and unbearable to another. Why? Because— THE WORLD IS THE GARDEN. YOUR MIND IS THE HOUSE. And your beliefs, experiences, habits, memories and repeated thoughts create the windows through which you see it. But those windows are not necessarily permanent. They can be cleaned. They can be widened. Some can be replaced. New ones can be created. ⸻ A THOUGHT IS NOT YOUR DESTINY. Fear may enter your mind. Jealousy may enter. Anger may enter. Doubt may enter. That is human. The real question is: WHICH THOUGHTS ARE YOU PRACTISING? Because what you repeatedly practise becomes easier to repeat. Thought becomes repetition. Repetition becomes habit. Habit becomes mindset. Mindset shapes perspective. Perspective influences action. And repeated actions gradually shape life. ⸻ THIS IS NOT A BOOK ABOUT BLIND POSITIVITY. If the garden is dry, don’t stand at the window saying: “The garden is green.” Go outside. Water it. If business is weak, understand why. If your strategy has failed, change it. If your body needs attention, train it. If you made a mistake, accept it. If injustice occurs, respond correctly. If something cannot be changed, learn acceptance. A powerful mindset does not deny reality. IT HELPS YOU PERFORM BETTER KARMA WITHIN REALITY. Drawing from everyday family life, entrepreneurship, physical discipline, leadership, Indian spiritual thought and lessons from the Bhagavad Gita, this book explores how the worlds we experience are shaped not only by what happens around us, but also by what we repeatedly practise within us. ⸻ DON’T BELIEVE EVERY THOUGHT. DON’T PRACTISE EVERY THOUGHT. DON’T TURN EVERY FAILURE INTO AN IDENTITY. DON’T TURN EVERY PROBLEM INTO YOUR WHOLE WORLD. CHANGE THE WINDOW. DO THE KARMA. AND KEEP LEARNING TO SEE. Because perhaps there aren’t billions of different Earths. There are billions of minds looking at the same Earth through different windows. And once we understand that, one sentence can change the way we live: THE WORLD IS BIGGER THAN MY WINDOW. EVERY MIND HAS ITS OWN WORLD
