The Bhagavad Gita is the ultimate
book of knowledge and is duly recognized as such throughout the world. Its
wisdom transcends the limits of time and space. I publish daily one message
from the book which can be related to our daily life titled: Thought4TheDay
These are widely read and highly
appreciated by my connections on LinkedIn, friends on Facebook and followers on
twitter totally about 27000 people. As recommended by some friends, I am
posting the same here. You may ask questions and/or post your comments which be
appreciated. Hope you will find the initiative very rewarding.
Thought4TheDay (12.09.2017)
Lord Krishna explains that the
Karmayogi detaches himself from the petty worldly affairs. Devoted to the
performance of his own duty, he remains satisfied with what he receives in
return. Such an attitude enhances the efficacy of his actions. He transcends
the petty pangs of the elemental human emotions like joy, grief, worry,
uncertainty etc. These do not detract him from the path of performance of his
duty. He remains balanced in success or failure like a scientist who keeps on
acquiring knowledge from the study of cause and effects. His is a free soul
which is not restricted by the perceived limitations.
Further, he rises above the pettiness
of ego and doesn't claim anything as his own. His mind finds solace in the knowledge
of 'self'. All his efforts are directed towards the cause of upliftment of
society as he discovers peace and happiness in such endeavours.
Thought4TheDay (09.09.2017)
Lord Krishna, "Whatever actions
and whichever way a nobleman performs his duty; the example is followed by the
common man. I this manner, certain standards are set on the basis of which
ordinary human beings carry out their work. The noble person leads others by
example.
There is no duty prescribed for me.
There is nothing in the world that I need. Yet, I am engaged in work. If I
don't do any work, human beings will follow my example. They will also not do
anything. In such a situation, when nobody works, the world will be ruined.
Therefore, even for Me performance is necessary. If there are no jobs for the
people in the world, can there be any peace?
In such circumstances, while the
ignorant, who lacks real knowledge, performs his duty with attachment to the
results, the enlightened person should be engaged in performance of his duty
without any attachment to the results. He should set an example for others to follow."
