Tonic for Great Life

Tonic for Great Life “When mind is free from every ‘ism’ it becomes a pure prism” by Kiran Kurwade Tonic for Great Life is a Quest for the Best. A quest which can make us more Positive, Purposeful and Peaceful. It makes us realize that ‘Any Role without a Goal is like a Body without Soul’ and invokes the genius in us to take a great leap towards a great life. With the rise of internet, today knowledge is limitless, yet life has become miserable. We doubt everything and doubt reflects ignorance. We see crime, corruption and chaos increasing; more of Breaking News, less of Making News. We have become individualistic. Somewhere something is seriously going wrong, showing our knowledge is not complete, else we would not be living such lifeless lives. Amidst all worldly chaos, there is hardly anybody alive in the world who does NOT want to: • be Loved and Love • Live as long as possible or forever • Grow infinitely (e.g. businessmen want to scale up as much as possible) There is something in us that is pure Love, Eternal and Infinite. Knowing and living such “Truth” is a Tonic for Great Life, or one can say living in Totality (holistically) and enabling others to do the same. This book is an attempt to co-explore and co-evolve. Are you ready for the Great Leap? If we take tonic for our body, then we should take tonic for our soul as well. Tonic for soul or transforming your good life to great life is about knowing the truth in totality, which includes knowing your unique strengths or great gifts and utilizing them in Great Spirit. First and foremost thing is to Trust yourself, on order to know and live the Truth. Therefore, the author thinks if TONIC can be an acronym for Trust (Truth) Overcomes Negatively Influenced Conditions. By Great Leap author means a leap of one to oneness. As for example, when a great freedom fighter dies while fighting for a great cause, he becomes an inspiration for many, stays in their hearts as true love forever, thus becoming a true legend. Unless we outgrow our past we cannot move towards the future. It is a transcendence of Me to We. Today, we may be developing as mind and matter, but we are not evolving as heart and soul. Author’s perception of Soul is Spirit Of Universal Love, he would prefer to take spirit as synergizing attitude (energy) and not so much to do with esoteric concept. Materialism has every luxury but no peace, and Spiritualism has peace but struggles to pay school fees for his children. Great Life is not living in either extremes; it is about having a holistic, harmonious and happy growth. We will co-explore chapter wise on how to be in the Now, how to create a great self, how to know and actualize our great gift, which learning discipline is required, what is great intelligence, how to arrive at great solution, what are great relationships and responsibility of being a great professional, leader and change maker. Author feels the greatest miracle is to be compassionate towards all at all times. Conscious and Compassionate living is his Tonic. It is worthy to note how author has redefined the concepts based on today’s ground realities. Glimpses of few Chapters: Glimpse of a chapter ‘Tonic for Great Team’. Whenever we hear the word team, we think of a group of people. I feel the basic teamwork is within us, i.e. the mind, heart, soul and body. If I am divided inside, I will be divided outside. If I am integrated inside, I can integrate with anybody and anything outside. Glimpse of a chapter ‘Tonic for Great Intelligence’. If we can have great Dreams, great Devotion and great sense of Divinity then we shall co-create great Designs… We are living in 21st century, we deal in ‘Dreams’, dream big…achieve big. Who can dream big? Dreaming reflects capacity of thinking, imagination, visualization, information, experiences, analyzing, co-relating, so on and so forth. Human beings are dreaming beings. As you dream, so you become. Without dream, we cannot create any design. Hence authors call it as Dream Quotient (D1). How many of us are able to actualize our dreams? Dream without action is a daydream? Human body is a kind of design and similarly any other animate or inanimate bodies have certain design. Machines have certain design. Universe is a great design. Design is the delivery, manifestation, structure, system and reality hence author has termed it as Design Quotient (D4). The bridge between the Dream and Design is Devotion Quotient (D2) and Divinity Quotient (D3). All put together, author calls it 4D Intelligence. Glimpse of a chapter ‘Tonic for Great Change Maker’ Am I honest with the person in the Mirror? A mediocre teacher says, "My job is to take the horse near water but if the horse doesn’t drink then it’s not my fault." However, a great teacher says, "My job is not just to take the horse near water but ensure that the journey is so inspiring and insightful that the horse will willingly drink water, and if it doesn’t then somewhere I have failed in my job..." Isn’t he a great Change Maker? *** Author has well bridged the principles and practicalities of day to day life as such that anybody can easily understand, enjoy reading and aspire a great life. The book has easy analogies, relevant examples, self conceived two liners by the author that will make you smile; and you will be tempted to share the insights (tonic) with your dear ones via SMS or FB. Knowing your great Gift (strength) and how to create great Self for great Purpose, how to be holistically intelligent, strengthen great relationship and lead by great example is an honest attempt by the author. You can be an employee or entrepreneur, a student or teacher; you can be a great Change Maker.
