摘要

The Ashtavakra Gita (AG), a profound philosophical dialogue embedded in Indian spiritual tradition, offers deep insights into self-realization, freedom, and the nature of the mind. This study explores the relevance of AG's teachings in the context of modern neuroscience, focusing particularly on Sloka 11 from Adhyaya 1. By framing the investigation around the case study “Thinking Makes It So,” the research examines how individual beliefs and thought patterns relate to mental well-being. Data were collected via a structured survey and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and linear regression. Although the sample size is limited, preliminary findings suggest that individuals who endorse positive thinking tend to report more favorable outcomes related to well-being and perception of freedom resonating with AG’s assertion that “as the mind is, so is the person.” The results, while exploratory, indicate a promising interdisciplinary bridge between ancient spiritual philosophy and contemporary cognitive science, highlighting AG’s potential value beyond its spiritual origins.
