Episode 12: What is Mukhtasar Si Baat

Kaun bahna chahta hai tinke ki tarah? Our conscious thought, will-power, control are rewarded by the society. So, most of us do not want to ever relinquish our control. But what about that desirable state called the 'Flow' when we are joyous in letting go of our conscious control? Yes, some activities, tasks, projects can be so immersive that we loose track of time and ourselves. When we truly get out of our way! What is that immersive activity, task, craft, skill for you that brings you 'in the zone' - and in that celestial 'state of Flow'? Do share :)#MihalyCsikszentmihalyi #Flow #WuWei #SHBihari #Gulzar #Osho #DevamaniPandey #EdwardSlingerland #OPNayyar #Ravan #RekhaBhardwaj #VishalBhardwaj #ARRahmanhttps://www.brainpickings.org/2014/04/21/trying-not-to-try-slingerland/https://www.theschooloflife.com/thebookoflife/wu-wei-doing-nothing/
