UNDERSTANDING POSITIVE MANTRA 

With every dawn we nurture new hope, new aspiration as we try to map out everyday with positivism. Yet, the struggle in life, conflicts of interests, contradictions within and without, chaos do loom large over our life as evening caves in and night keeps on tossing on the beds of uncertainties where setbacks, failures, depression and pessimism share the bed of woes. To combat this phenomenon, we were told, since our childhood days that after darkness there will be a neo light and new awakening of the self. With this hope civilization grew.

As a student, we were taught to be positive and were told that one should try to analyze everything objectively. Our positive thinking made us earn educational qualifications. The positive attitude fetched us job; Boss in the office, always asks us to be positive at the deliberation level; we switched jobs for enhancements and furthering our positive deliberations. We make our home classy and colourful to have positive ambiance; our weekends are frilled with entertainment to derive positive energy. We guide our children to be positive and often drive them hard towards result-oriented-ness. At the spiritual level Guru asks us to be positive towards materialistic debacles and aspire for spiritual elevation. Likewise positivism revolves in our life! Nay, we try to revolve, evolve and try constantly to re-discover positivism in our life. But often Positivism becomes an enigma in our struggle studded life or this word is reduced to mere meaning found in the Dictionary. Let us begin our journey for the Dictionary only.

The Living Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary gives its etymological root to the old French usage Positif or in Latin Positivus. With time, this word has gathered plenty of meanings and continuously incorporates newer perspectives as well. Some meanings are-laid down or expressed; determined enactment or convention; as, positive proof; stated; definite; emphatic; confident in opinion; fully assured ; obsolete; actual existence ;read concerned with or based on matter of experience as positive philosophy etc. etc. Again Positive turns negative when we say AIDS POSITIVE or HIV PLUS!

Thus we see the word POSITIVE means or referred at many levels and remained enigmatic with its rampant usages. Positive is a sound beginning; Positive is forward looking; Positive is an inspiration, a hope; Positive is omni-directional benevolent energy field. Think further you will be able to define POSITIVISM in a newer way with every passing day. Thus the word positive is no mere word to be defined in a restrictive fashion but Positivism is a phenomenon like space, sky or ocean. And we will be deciphering its many hidden nuances to map out a vision which will pave the path for realization and revelations.

After this brief stopover in positivism, we have re-understood that positivism is a phenomenon and one must peel off many of its layers to gauge the lesser known nuances of this word and would be utilizing those to cruise our life positively with positivism.

However, another part of our title is 'Mantra' which we should understand first before proceeding further. Vedas, the oldest contemplation of the world has given us the concept of Mantra. The concept of Mantra revolves around sound or articulated creation of sound within the given grammar of rhythm, frequency, pause and phonetics. Nevertheless, Mantra revolves around sound which is said to be the cause and manifestation of cosmic creation. In Indian tradition the primal sound of creation was denoted with various names and many mantras of hymns like Bhur and AUM were coined to define the first created sound. From the textual tradition of Vedic Mantra or Sacred sound we find that Mantra revolves within the ether of the body and then comes out in the form of sound with varying frequencies. The sacred sound is omnipotent in the guise of nama and rupa (name and form). It is said that the universe is created within the Sound and that Sound too leads the man to his spiritual destiny. With the continuous chanting of Mantra a psychological atmosphere is created which helps purifying the mind and body of a being.


Toeing this idea of Indian acoustic heritage the concept of Mantra has been borrowed to give Positivism a different perspective. In the concept of Positive Mantra we at one level decipher the positivism in its dynamic form or meaning and culture the concept of Mantra to bring about internal harmony of thought, concept at the unuttered stage and also to fathom the idea of articulate utterance of anything with the discipline of Mantra.

Ancient tribal society or group of aboriginals or indigenous people world over has remained a sound centric society. On plain hearing those sound, one finds them, unintelligible but those carried their own essence and meanings and even perhaps successfully bridged this world and the other through mystic sound phenomenon. 

The power of sound which became Mantra cruised over some 5000 years and sustained its identity and currency. Thus Mantra remain an internal chord which not only communicates but ensures an inner blending as well as we find many references of Sadhus, sages and seers from all religions who mustered the sound and showed the world their miraculous feats.


Within these operative backgrounds of Positivism and Mantra-the sound phenomenon the concept of Positive Mantra finds its square base. Positive Mantra as a concept works as tool to 'Know Thyself'. It fashions an inroad journey to understand the self as a personality, fathoms one's own nature both as 'precious original' self and as societal reflective identity in this world.

Thus Positive Mantra is a holistic journey towards self-discovery and self discipline. It would bring self awareness measures to re-live life and plan successful endeavour touching the mortal and other world. The inherent 'guna' or qualities are to be brought to the fore which remains a point of strong advocacy of Positive Mantra. In the next phase we will spell out the fourteen letters phenomenon P O S I T I V E M A N T R A which will lead to several hundred entry points to understand the self and help us a more meaningful stay in this world.

POSITIVE MANTRA - Unveiled!

'Positive Mantra' is a philosophy which has many hidden nuances and we would be experiencing the self through the process of self discovery. Because we are not talking only about positive thinking/attitudes and not limiting our mind sets to 'winning' and becoming successful. Rather we are going to travel towards our inner-self and discover the unique dynamics of our mind-power and talents.

Positive Mantra distinguishes the natural inner-self and the cosmetic 'masked' outer-self. It would take up contradictions of the self and try to bridge and nurture the inner-self which has purity, piousness, innocence and deep spirituality.

Positive Mantra would highlight the thinking process and try to touch upon the harmony of 'inner being' and 'outer-being'. It would probe and try to open windows to realize one's own precious qualities which if brought out at the outer level can change the whole personality.

Positive Mantra would try to fathom the concept of silence and sound make one feel how both are our armor of communications. It would touch the sound of thought process to its logical further journey of utterance and action.

Positive Mantra would try to drive home the idea of 'self-making' elements by overhauling the minds sets from 'complex' self to 'confident' self. The idea of success, inspiring self and tapping unending spiritual energy would be indicated through simple concepts.

Positive Mantra would unveil the dynamics of spiritual self. Utterance of sacred name from any religious belief systems do help to us combat the concept of 'doubts and negations' within which normally works as speed breakers then stammering and fumbling come to the fore front and personality submit itself to the 'self-hate and guilt'. Thus through the measures of sacred utterances within creates an internal ambiance of 'solace and tranquility' that allows 'self talk' and 'self delving'.

However, for now, we are trying to fathom the broad defining outlines of Positive Mantra through the entry points of the fourteen initial letters i.e. P.O.S.I.T.I.V.E. M.A.N.T.R.A.

Precious Person you are!

Optimism you imbibe to be the Shinning Star.

Shrink your negativism!

Ignite your passion for activism.

Teach and be taught!

Inner Journey should be sought.

Vengeance and even self-hate be shelved.

Empowered and energized self be showcased.

 

Mission of life should be a creative visualization.

Adhere to the rules of Self-love for smooth navigation

Nurture your natural talents and serve others.

Try and try again to see failures wither.

Respond and culture all information on all occasion.

Arrange your inner and outer-selves for systematic action!


Thus we have seen that the pair of words 'Positive Mantra' is no mere innocent letters or a gimmick. The two words define the broad spectrum of our self and also incorporate points of corrections in our attitude and personality. These fourteen entry points create a platform to understand the self, but this is not the end but a beginning of our quest. Discovery of the self would take centuries of study and contemplation. Even then we do not know where we will reach! Because knowing the self is a riddle and surely a journey through contradictions as varied thoughts, concept and ideology keep on popping up and spring dynamic surprises within our oceanic mind. 

Nevertheless, the relativity of truth remains dormant. Once Subhash Chandra Bose contemplated on 'relativity of truth' and wrote: 'No truth is absolute but relative, related to our common mental constitution'. So the idea of broadening our mental constitution would help us to understand the bigger horizon of truth which changes its own perception as we grow and encounter different Time and Space. To fathom the greatest philosophy-- 'Know Thyself' is our concern at present through the Positive Mantra. We are going to tool the spiritual concept and fathom natural law to discover self and then successfully navigate through materialism. 

The chaos and contradictions are to be harmonized within to shape our mind and life for a successful cruising and towards this 'Positive Mantra' can help us as it bridges materialistic and spiritual contours of our lives. Now we will further peel off the 14 statements and discover 198 concepts. Again these will be only few entry points to broaden our mental constitution. Once we discover these two hundred odd concepts then in the following 14 chapters we will feel many more concepts within concepts and link our inner mind for a successful outer endeavour.
