Iqbal S Bains

A seasoned facilitator, he brings the depth of a distinguished civil service career, culminating in his role as Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh, into his work with self-inquiry and inner balance. Through years of observing real-life crises and human responses to pressure, he has developed a grounded approach to composure, emotional stability, and clear perspective.

His facilitation explores how thoughts, emotions, culture, and social conditioning influence behavior, perception, and the way we experience the world around us. At the heart of his teaching is the understanding that meaningful change often begins within, by meeting inner turbulence with awareness and attention.

Through his books Making You Turn and उद्गम की ओर, he invites readers to explore themselves through everyday experience and discover a deeper sense of peace and freedom. His work at The Life School Bhopal is rooted in refined attention, traditional Indian wisdom, and non-dual meditation practice.
