'Saari umar hum mar marke jee liye, ek pal toh ab hume jeene do jeene do.' This isn't a mere millennial Bollywood rendition but a story of millions of lives. Jay Kabir, former Monk, TED Speaker, an acclaimed author of the bestseller 'Monk Wisdom for the Modern Mind', and Spiritual Guide, takes us down the memory lane of his transformational journey and talks about how his life took a turn from being miserable to being mystic and mindful.
During his growing years, Jay didn't have the best environment. He was bullied and bashed for his stature and socially anxious personality, while financial constraints limited his thinking and forbade him from dreaming big.
In a bid to overcome his emotional turmoil, he consulted his college counselor and was diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Jay was not ready to take medication but wanted to overcome it with meditation. He started to read and research extensively in the fields of neurosciences, psychology of transformation, and ancient Indian spiritual sciences with the intention of not just healing myself but to really understand what it takes to live a life of true happiness, bliss, compassion, harmony, and abundance, to know how a human being can deal with all the challenges of life not from a state of anxiety agitation frustration but from a state of balance bliss harmony happiness.
Life took a massive turn when he dropped out of college to adopt a MONK LIFE. He embarked upon this spiritual journey to explore profound dimensions of life, cultivate values of compassion, selflessness, contribution, expand consciousness, and most importantly to heal the wounds of childhood.
