Author Description

The Eightfold Path means eight groups of practices. There are practices for studying, contemplation and cultivating attitudes, behaviors, thoughts and speech, then there are practices needing to be done to change the mind, to change the brain to rise above the ordinary state of consciousness. The ordinary state of mind is full of dualities i.e. likes and dislikes, sorrow and happiness, hatred and love and so on. The mind by default perceives the world by division. It is a necessary evil. Still we need this mind for transactional reality i.e. personal, professional, social and family lives.
