Dr. Manpreet Singh Manna, Vice Chancellor of Chandigarh University, Mohali, draws inspiration from the sacred words of Guruwani:

“जो ब्रह्माण्डे सोई पिंडे, जो खोजे सो पावै।”

He shares these lines with students as well, explaining that true happiness and peace cannot be found outside, as the external world is often filled with chaos and distractions. Everyone outside has their own perspectives and thought processes, which may not always align or provide the right guidance.

He emphasizes that individuals should first learn to understand and connect with themselves. He points out that one of the most challenging yet essential practices is self-communication—a process often referred to as meditation, simran, or yogasan.

Dr. Manpreet Singh Manna shares that if a person cultivates the habit of spending 15–20 minutes daily in a quiet place, simply talking to themselves, it can greatly boost their energy levels and help detoxify the mind. He explains that although people often prioritize physical detoxification—such as consuming green vegetables—they frequently overlook the importance of mental detoxification. He emphasizes that cleansing the mind is equally vital for overall well-being and mental clarity.

He states that individuals should engage with uplifting texts and spiritual scriptures. He encourages visiting any place of worship that aligns with one's faith, spending time there in reflection, and seeking blessings. He emphasizes that such practices are deeply beneficial, as they nurture inner peace, strengthen faith, and contribute positively to overall well-being.
