NLP Through Thirukkural 6 Life Mastery


SENSE MASTERY FOR LIFE MASTERY

KuraL
இலம் என்று வெஃகுதல் செய்யார் புலம் வென்ற
புன்மைஇல் காட்சி யவர்                        /18 174/
Transliteration
Ilam yendru vehuthal seyyar pulam venRa
Punmail kaatchi yavar

Meaning:
The truth-knowers of sense-control
Though in want covet not at all.
Explanation
Those who have gained mastery over their senses and have enlarged vision will not covet others belongings out of want.
According yogic/Siddha tradition, senses deceive us and distract us away from TRUTH which is ‘pure’ & absolute.
In order to attain the native divinity one must transcend the limitations of senses by controlling & gaining mastery over senses. Then that person is free from coveting because he realizes he is potentially complete & whole and he is in the process of realization.

Coming to NLP
According to NLP all metal impressions are a combination of sensory impressions only.
*Every experience has a structure* says NLP presupposition.
This structure is the structure of sensory impressions in a particular order.
Every experience is coded in this way as a structure. (SUBMODALITY)

By changing the structure of experience quality of experience changes
By changing the structure of an experience one can easily move away from diffidence, disillusionment discomfiture.
By changing the structure of an experience one can easily strengthen the strength, enhance positivity and grow phenomenally inside out.
 The person who knows to change the structure of thinking feels empowered and energized.
So he does not feel inadequate, he does not feel low & incapacitated; does not feel jealous;
He is not bogged down by the present condition; he knows what he wants and moves towards getting what he wants.
This is possible by clearly identifying sense & its play.
A person who gained mastery over *sub modality* identification & alteration will never feel powerless.
He does not grab others credit, rather works his own way with a resourceful state.

Thus ThirulkkuraL & NLP run parallel in mentioning the mastery over sense usage.
