Ranchi, April 29: The Amity Business School of Amity University, Jharkhand organised a ‘Management Development Programme (MDP) on Self-Motivation and Mindfulness’ for the staff of Citizens Foundation, Ranchi at its premises on Friday.
Addressing the guests and participants, Prof. (Dr.) Raman Kumar Jha, Vice-Chancellor, Amity University, Jharkhand, highlighted the terms ‘Self’, ‘Mind’ and ‘Thought’. “Body, mind, and soul are something correlated. The body leaves according to Hindu scriptures but we don’t leave this world,” he said, explaining thought and emotional levels as well as skills,” he said.
“We also change in the present birth and carry forward some transformations from our previous births. Death is a reality which is just an interval,” he added, referring to internal and external realities.
“Our mind is more disturbed and confused by external realities. Accept the things as they are and sharpen yourself. Live in the present instead of thinking of the past or future,” he further quoted.
Welcoming the audience, Prof. (Dr.) Ajit Kumar Pandey, Director, Amity University, Jharkhand said, “Self-motivation and mindfulness are something which everyone wishes to practice. No one can be the best motivator than ourselves to excel in the field we want.”
Pandey further mentioned the motivation of an ant which carries the sugar ball equivalent to its size and moves in the queue with other ants.
“Similarly, birds creating their own nests are motivated by their needs which propel them to do something. Miracles are seen because of self-motivation. The synchronization of thought processes governs our actions. And our actions are governed by our actions,” he added.
Encouraging the participants, he compared the leadership skills of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. He also spoke of Eklavya, the known disciple in Mahabharata. “Strata should be defined by what we are doing. To be motivated you need to have courage, confidence, and zeal. Keep your mind in sync with what you desire,” he further stressed.
