The Good and Simple Things to do

The Indian Astrology says that if you know your "Isht Dev" (your appropriate God), just pray to him/her regularly atleast 4-5 times in a day and life becomes much easier, but strange to note that if theres only "One" God then where is the question of an appropriate God?. The Supreme authority of Godhead is definetely only One but the vedas talk about various demigods, known to be around 33 crores of them who are in charge and control of different departments as per the vedic scriptures which says like Lord Indra to be in charge of the Rains and seasons, similarly Goddess Lakshmi is the one who represents Fortune, Lord Kuber represents Wealth, Goddess Sarasvati represents Education, Lord Brahma represents the scientific knowhow, Similarly the 9 planets represent different things like Sun gives fame and authority, Moon gives emotions and a balance mind, Mars gives physical strength and also represents arms, ammunitions, Mercury responsible for intellect, fine speech, Jupiter gives knowledge and represents spirituality, Venus for a pleasing personality, good looks, diamonds, air travel, hotel industry, female, sex etc, similarly saturn is the lord of law and order, punishments, Iron, Oil, plumbing, colour black, dark blue etc. Rahu and Ketu also have certain things in there control.

Now as per your vedic horoscope if you know your appropriate God or Goddess, praying to him/her 4-5 times a day can do wonders as per the vedic astrology.

The vedic astrology and the rituals also suggest that one of the finest ways of reducing stress and trying to live a stress free life would be to lit a lamp every morning and evening regularly before the altar of Lord and just start noticing the slow positive changes that happen in your life in next 25-30days, this could really work, the flame moves upwards similarly the atmosphere around also generates positive energy to take our life upwards on a higher plane, our thoughts upwards to be more positive and peaceful, and then not knowing why, but the obstacles in day to day life if not completely gone but atleast start reducing to a greater extent.

Thoughts keep reeling in the mind, negative or positive most of the time but hardly the peaceful ones, and its become in human nature to keep struggling with these positive or negative thoughts because even they ignite anxiety, having fulfilled a particular desire, the thoughts move to some other target and this keeps on like a never ending story, it definitely ends with the end of life but only takes a short break at death and the same story starts all over again with the beginning of next life whether a human, animal, plant, an insect, or may be a super human.

But the Indian sciptures say that atleast being in touch with your appropriate God/Goddess can help one to sail through the ups and downs of life easily without much trouble

Meditation further is believed to do wonders, may be if we are actually able to sit for an hour or so and successfully go in deep meditation, it means for that one hour you are completely cut off from the materialistic world, gone deeper and deeper into the dark between your two closed eyes and further able to experience the presence of the Lord, would this not really put a massive positive impact on your inner self? would there be any kind of reactions happening within you? definitely it should happen.

This is not about teaching spirituality or religion, I would myself like to learn to be spiritual, its only about trying to find out the science of the "self". The simplest method one of which would be for understand your inner self would be to meditate on the Supreme Personality of Godhead "Lord Krishna", no rules and rituals are required to be followed for this.

May be this was the reason that in past it was tradition in indian households to lit a lamp daily morning and evening but with the passage of time these practices have reduced drastically and when these were followed, life was much simpler, easy going, peaceful and prosperous but the present times are full of struggle, so mechanical, faithless because these simple techniques are not applied these days which look simple but seem to be very much effective.

SO.....LIT A LAMP..

The Opulence of the Absolute (Krishna)

Lord Krishna :- Neither the hosts of demigods nor the great sages know my origin or opulences, for in every respect, I am the source of the demigods and sages. He who knows me as the unborn, as the beginningless, as the Supreme lord of all the worlds - He who only undeluded among men is freed from all sins. Intelligence, knowledge, freedom from doubt and delusion, for-giveness, truthfulness, control of the senses, control of the mind, happiness and distress, birth, death, fear, fearlessness, non-violence, equanimity, satisfaction, austerity, charity, fame and infamy --- All these various qualities of living beings are created by Me alone.

Lord Krishna :- The Seven great sages and before them the four other great sages and the Manus (progenitors of mankind) come from Me, born from my mind, and all the living beings populating the various planets descend from them.

Lord Krishna :- I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from me. The wise perfectly knowing this engage in my devotional service and worship me with all their hearts. The thoughts of my pure devotees dwell in me.

The Science Of Getting Rid Of Anxiety, Grief and Attachment

Vyasa said: The mind creates (within itself) numerous ideas (of objects or existent things). The Understanding settles which is which. The heart discriminates which is agreeable and which is disagreeable. These are the three forces that impel to acts. The objects of the senses are superior to the senses. The mind is superior to those objects. The understanding is superior to mind. The Soul is regarded as superior to Understanding. (As regards the ordinary purposes of man) the Understanding is his Soul. When the Understanding, of its own motion, forms ideas (of objects) within itself, it then comes to be called Mind.

[Note: In the original, the word Atman is used in various senses. Sometimes it stands for the Jiva-soul (embodied soul), sometimes for the Supreme Soul, sometimes for essence or the principal portion of anything, sometimes for one’s own self, and sometimes even for the person or body. It is not difficult to distinguish in which sense the word is used in what place.]

In consequence of the senses being different from one another (both in respect of their objects and the manner of their operation), the Understanding (which is one and the same) presents different aspect in consequence of its different modifications. When it hears, it becomes the organ of hearing, and when it touches, it becomes the organ of touch. Similarly, when it sees, it becomes the organ of vision, and when it tastes, it becomes the organ of taste, and when it smells, it becomes the organ of scent. It is the Understanding that appears under different guises (for different functions) by modification.

It is the modifications of the Understanding that are called the senses. Over them is placed as their presiding chief (or overseer) the invisible Soul. Residing in the body, the Understanding exists in the three states (of Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas). Sometimes it obtains cheerfulness, sometimes it gives way to grief; and sometimes its condition becomes such that it is united with neither cheerfulness nor grief. The Understanding, however, whose chief function (as already said) is to create entities, transcends those three states even as the ocean, that lord of rivers, prevails against the mighty currents of the rivers that fall into it.

When the Understanding desires for anything,it comes to be called by the name of Mind.The senses again, though (apparently different) should all be taken as included within the Understanding. The senses, which are engaged in bearing impressions of form, scent etc., should all be subdued. When a particular sense becomes subservient to the Understanding, the latter though in reality not different (from that sense), enters the Mind in the form of existent things. Even this is what happens with the senses one after another (separately and not simultaneously) with reference to the ideas that are said to be apprehended by them.

[Note: If I have understood this verse correctly, the theory of perception laid down is a sort of idealism which has not, perhaps, its counterpart in European metaphysics. The senses are first said to be only modifications of the understanding. The mind also is a modification of the same. A particular sense, say the eye, becomes subservient to the understanding at particular moment. As soon as this happens, the understanding, though in reality it is only the eye, becomes united with the eye, and entering the mind raises an image there, the consequence of which is that that image is said to be seen. External world there is, of course, as independent of mind and understanding. That which is called a tree is only an idea or image created in the mind by the understanding with the aid of sense of vision.]

All the three states that exist (viz., Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas), inhere to these three (viz., Mind, Understanding, and Consciousness) and like the spokes of a car-wheel acting in consequence of their attachment to the circumference of the wheel, they follow the different objects (that exist in Mind, Understanding, and Consciousness).

[Note: The speaker here combats the theory that the qualities of Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas inhere to the objects themselves of the senses. His own view is that they inhere to the Mind, the Understanding, and Consciousness. The qualities may be seen to exist with objects, but in reality they follow objects in consequence of their permanent connection with the mind, the understanding, and consciousness, which have agency in the production of objects. The commentator cites the instance of a wife’s beautiful and symmetrical limbs. These excite pleasure in the husband, envy in a co-wife, and desire (mixed with pain at its not being gratified) in a weak hearted gazer. All the while the limbs remain unchanged. Then again, the husband is not always pleased with them, nor is the co-wife always filled with envy at their sight, nor is the gazer always agitated. Like the spokes of a wheel which are attached to the circumference and which move with circumference, the qualities of Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas, attached to the mind, understanding and consciousness, move along with them, i.e., follow those objects in the production of which the mind etc., are causes.]

The mind must make a lamp of the senses for dispelling the darkness that shuts out the knowledge of the Supreme Soul. This knowledge that is acquired by Yogis with the aid of all especial agency of Yoga, is acquired without any especial efforts by men that abstain from worldly objects. The universe is of this nature (viz., it is only a creation of the understanding). The man of knowledge, therefore, is never stupefied (by attachment to things of this world). Such a man never grieves, never rejoices, and is free from envy (at seeing another possessing a larger share of earthly objects).

The Soul is incapable of being seen with the aid of the senses whose nature is to wander among all (earthly) objects of desire. Even righteous men, whose senses are pure, fail to behold the Soul with their aid, what then should be said of the vicious whose senses are impure? When, however, a person with the aid of his mind, tightly holds their reins, it is then that his Soul discovers itself like an object (unseen in darkness) appearing to the view in consequence of the light of a lamp. Indeed, as all things become visible when the darkness that envelopes them is dispelled, even the soul becomes visible when the darkness that covers it is removed. [Note: As soon as the darkness of the understanding is dispelled and true knowledge succeeds, the Soul becomes visible.]

As an acquatic fowl, though moving on the water is never drenched by that element, after the same manner the Yogi of freed soul is never soiled by the imperfections of the three attributes (of Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas). After the same manner, the man of wisdom, by even enjoying all earthly objects without being attached to any of them, is never soiled by faults of any kind that arise in the case of others from such enjoyment. He who avoids acts after having done them duly (i.e., who adopts the Sannyasa or the last mode of life of Renunciation, after having duly gone through the preceding modes), and takes delight in the one really existent entity, viz., the Soul, who has constituted himself the soul of all created beings, and who succeeds in keeping himself aloof from the three attributes, obtains an understanding and senses that are created by the Soul.

The qualities (Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas) are incapable of apprehending the Soul. The Soul, however, apprehends them always. The Soul is the witness that beholds the qualities and duly calls them up into being. Behold, this is the difference between the understanding and the Soul both of which are exceedingly subtle. One of them creates the qualities. The other never creates them. Though they are different from each other by nature, yet they are always united. The fish living in the water is different from the element in which it lives. But as the fish and the water forming its home are always united, after the same manner Sattwa and Kshetrajna (Soul) exist in a state of union. The gnat born within a rotten fig is really not the fig but different from it. Nevertheless, as the gnat and the fig are seen to be united with each other, even so are Sattwa, and Kshetrajna. As the blade in a clump of grass, though distinct from the clump, nevertheless exists in a state of union with it, even so these two, though different from each other, each existing in its own self, are to be seen in a state of constant union.

Vyasa said: The objects by which one is surrounded are created by the understanding. The Soul without being connected with them, stands aloof, presiding over them. It is the understanding that creates all objects The three primary qualities (Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas) are continually being transformed (for the production of objects). The Kshetrajna or Soul, endued with puissance, presides over them all, without, however, mingling with them.

Two opinions
The objects, which the understanding creates, partake of its own nature. Indeed, as the spider creates threads (which partakes of its own material substance), the objects created by the understanding partake of the nature of the understanding. Some maintain that the qualities, when driven away by Yoga or knowledge, do not cease to exist. They say this because when once gone, the indications only of their return are not perceptible. (But that is no evidence of their actual destruction). Others say that when dispelled by knowledge, they are at once destroyed never to return.

Reflecting upon these two opinions properly, one should strive one’s best according to the way one thinks proper. It is by this way that one should attain to eminence and take refuge in one’s own Soul alone.

The Soul is without beginning and without end. Comprehending his Soul properly man should move and act, without giving to wrath, without indulging in joy, and always free from envy. Cutting by this means the knot that is in one’s heart, the knot whose existence is due to the operation of the faculties of the understanding, which is hard (to open or cut), but which nevertheless is capable of being destroyed by knowledge, one should live happily, without giving way to grief (for anything that happens), and with one’s doubts dispelled. Know that they who mingle in the affairs of this world are as distressed in body and mind as persons ignorant of the art of swimming when they slip from the land and fall into a large and deep river. The man of learning, however, being conversant with the truth, is never distressed, for he feels like one walking over solid land. Indeed, he who apprehends his Soul to be such, viz., as presenting only the character of Chit (consciousness), which has knowledge alone for its indication, is never distressed. Indeed, a person, by thus comprehending the origin and end of all creatures, and by thus apprehending their inequalities or distinctions, succeeds in attaining to high felicity.

This knowledge is the possession of a Brahmana (Brahmin) in especial by virtue of his birth. Knowledge of the Soul, and felicity like that which has been adverted to, are each fully sufficient to lead to emancipation.
[Note: Janmasamartham is explained as certain to be acquired by virtue of birth or of the practice of the duties laid down for one’s own order. (The four orders are Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Sudra). Parayanam is moksha-prapakam.]

Indication of a person of knowledge
By acquiring such knowledge one really becomes learned. What else is the indication of a person of knowledge? Having acquired such knowledge, they that are wise among men regard themselves crowned with success and become emancipated. Those things that become sources of fear unto men destitute of knowledge do not become sources of fear unto those that are endued with knowledge. There is no end higher than the eternal end which is obtained by a person possessed of knowledge. One beholds with aversion all earthly objects of enjoyment which are, of course, fraught with faults of every kind. Another, beholding others betake themselves with pleasure to such objects, is filled with sorrow.

As regards this matter, however, they that are conversant with both objects, behold, viz., that which is fictitious and that which is not so, never indulge in sorrow and are truly happy.

That which a man does without expectation of fruits destroys his acts of a former life. The acts, however, of such a person both of this and his previous life cannot lead to Emancipation. On the other hand, such destruction of former acts of this life cannot lead to what is disagreeable (viz., hell), even if the man of wisdom engages in acts.

All above is really an amazing science of the real self. Isnt it really like that as if we are forced into an undesirable condition or situation and forced to experience through our 5 senses all this unreal world, forced to see everything under the sun, all that is really temperory and of in real sense of no use, because something that is temperory and has to end, of what value it is?, Being forced to go through different actions and reactions utilising the 3 modes of nature ie. Satvic, Rajas and Tamsik modes, just because for that very short period of time we allowed our tongue to taste the flesh of some other animal because during that short period we were in the mode of Rajas and Tamsic and hence later then are forced to suffer as per the bad karma of flesh eating, how stupid it looks. Just because for a particular short time we felt like harassing someone because of our agitated mind, which if could be controlled during that particular time would have resulted in all together a different story and we would have not got the result of this bad action or karma.
This Science of the self is really interesting and amazing.

Purpose of our birth on this Planet Earth

The Indian sciptures say that the purpose of human birth is realized only, when an individual gains spiritual knowledge, which puts an end to rebirth.Self –realization is the ultimate purpose of our existence here and it should be achieved before we leave this world.Liberation is not only the fruit of spiritual quest but also attainment of mental peace and eternal joy, even while living in this world.Remember always- human birth is a rare opportunity given to us by the Almighty, GOD and one should strive to realize this goal in this life, without wasting it just in materialistic pursuits as per our scriptures. I further read that The first step towards reorienting oneself to this objective is to develop discrimination between what is essential, important and permanent what is not in life. This enables the seeker to remain focused, when his mind is swayed by sensory attractions of this world.The truth is only very people developed the urge to strive for liberation. In ‘’Bhagavan Gita’’, Lord Krishna clearly mentioned, "Hardly one among thousands of men strives to realize Me’’.He also stated that ‘’of those striving Yogis (devoted persons), again, some rare one, knows Me in reality’’. This hard fact is difficult to swallow and also depressing, but this should be taken in the right spirit, for it is not to dissuade a person from striving for liberation, that the lord has said this.It is to reinforce that one that develops even some interest in spiritual life, must consider himself lucky enough and to strive more seriously.So true that Many spiritual seekers like we all start earnestly, but with so many distractions in worldly life, get diverted along the line. Hence the determination to persist till the end must be realized, seriously. Sounds difficult yaar.. anyway further I read that Man should desire only that which would give him eternal joy-knowledge that liberates. It is such one pointed passion for realizing the objective that can bestow success in spiritual life.After training the mind to be discriminative, the spiritual aspirant must understand the nature of the ‘’Supreme Being’’. Now this sounds interesting. Bliss is different from happiness. Material pursuits give happiness, that to for a short period only, where as the bliss we obtain after attaining ‘’ Self- Realization’’ is eternal and its greatness is felt by personal experience only.Then only the purpose of our life in this world is fulfilled.‘’ Source: The Hindu.

True Love

In love, saying that you just love and you dont expect is not true..
In love you do expect..
love is silent...
love is blissful...
love is eternal...
a never ending story...
love is spiritual...
Its a feeling of extreme agony and longing...
but its not about invaluable sacrificing...
Its not about worthless pains...
Its about giving your very self...
Its timeless...
Its about the smile of your beloved...
Its about her wonderful eyes...
Its about her crazy lunar laughs...
Its about her crackling bangles...
Its about her innocence...
Its about companionship...
Its about tendency to get back to one...
Because two is painful...
Everything wants to merge into something...
That is what is called Love...

The Power of love is so overwhelming that even in its skewed form as lust, it impells two people to come together in the name of love. Genuine love essentially commits itself to first giving or offering best from the heart with an attitude of pleasing the recipient. Lust wants to take from others, lust feeds on feverish praise, dominance and recognition, where as love maintains detachment from selfish gain.

Heres an analogy : Both gold and Iron sell in market as metals but a few grams of lustrous soft rare metal costs more than a tonne of its hard and dull counterpart (Iron), similarly selfless love doesnot lose its unprecedented value just because it is rarely experienced. Pretentious words and vain promises are favourite disguises of lust, love on the other hand wears garb of spirituality, speak language of purity, walks path of humility, adopts code of tolerance, being willing to sacrifice everything for welfare of the beloved.

Gentle love is invincible, whereas brutal lust because of its inflamable nature burns to ashes all traces of compassion, reason and empathy, when lust turns to frustration all illusion, false attraction and attachment turns into retaliation in form of abuse, defamation and destruction. THERES NO TRACE OF LOVE HERE...until and unless one is able to descriminate between true love and deceptive lust, one is unable to understand that the ardent lover of god is fully prepared to undergo any kind of adversity birth after birth to attain the lotus feet of the lord.

Once Lord Krishna had a splitting headache, no doctor could cure him, finally krishna revealed that only dust of his unalloyed devotees could give him relief, so the gopis, who were his unalloyed devotees inspite of being aware that this would be the most serious crime to put the dust of there feet on the head of the supreme lord, still went ahead and did it because of there unalloyed devotion, true love for the lord.

Seven Dhaatus (Metals)

According to Ayurveda, there are seven dhaatus (metals)-gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, lead and zinc-which are essential elements of the body. Perfect health is attributed to the state of equilibrium of these dhaatus in body tissues. Any imbalance excess or deficiency-disturbs the functioning of the body.

Gold is present in trace amounts in blood, semen, eyes, upper layer of skin and intestines. Imbalance affects vision, causes general weakness in the body, dullness of intellect, loss of imaginative power, voice and general complexion of an individual.

Silver is present in the bone marrow, upper layer of bones, gall bladder, pancreas, inner layers of the skin, lungs, muscles, blood vessels, meninges (the membranes investing the spinal cord and brain), and septum of nose. Imbalance leads to neurological disturbances, problems related to teeth, cataract sores and absorption from gut.

Copper is present in the upper and inner layers of skin, mucosa of soft tissue, large glands, pupil of the eye, hair, pleura and pericardium. Imbalance causes defects in cardiovascular, central nervous and skeletal systems. Deficiency affects production of red blood cells and hair keratinisation. Imbalance causes chronic inflammatory disorders in soft tissues.

Iron is the major constituent of blood, present in the villi of the intestine, pupit hair and in small quantity in all tissues of the body. Imbalance causes arteriosclerosis, anaemia and general debility.Lead is present in blood and lymphatic tissues. Imbalance causes anaemia, disturbance in gastrointestinal tract due to poor secretion of digestive juices, haemolytic anaemia and ascites.

Tin is present in every tissue. However, it is found more in abdominal muscles, blood and blood vessels, synovial membranes lining the capsule of joints, outer layer of uterus. Imbalance causes malformation in bones, diseases of reproductive tract, affects formation of urine, polyurea and increased perspiration.

Zinc is present in blood, brain, nerve tissue and muscles. Imbalance causes problems related to nervous system like depression, anxiety, dullness of intellect, extreme forgetfulness and irritable temperament.

From Vedic point of view...

Sometimes it really becomes difficult to analyze wether a "decision taken" is out of our own capabilities or something that was destined to happen..

We cant say that everthing is the out-come of our own capacities, if it was so, then why a person working very hard earns much less than those priviledged ones who work less and earn more.
The vedic science and astrology says that a human is under the control of 3 different types of planets that rule our day to day activities and results. One of these types are the planets that in any circumstance give only positive result ( the variation though may differ from person to person) and also there are those types of planets that in any circumstance give only negative results (again the variation may differ from person to person) and finally there are those types of planets which on there own donot give what we want but they also donot obstruct (it means how much we work, that much we get)

Now this sounds amazing, but how to know that in which circumstances which kind of planets were having more influence, this is something I believe is just not possible to find out.

Now if I co-relate this with what Bhagwad Gita says is that "When one performs his prescribed duty according to his position (his position out of the four, ie.wether he is a Brahman (learned, teacher, guru), or a Kshatriya (protector), or a vaisya (trader, merchant, businesman) or a sudra (the labours), abandoning all attachment to the results of actions of failure or success and never considers himself to be the cause of results of actions and also never attached to not doing the prescribed duty, thus one never incurs sin-This is called Yoga.

Strive for yoga, the art of all work, surrender unto Lord Krishna and in Krishna consciousness perform your work, thus at the time of work do not concentrate on the result of the work performed, the result wether you will succeed or lose. Thus we can also be free from the the bondage of work. Sounds fascinating......

So finally though one may not know that out of the 3 types of planets which one is effecting more at the time of a particular action performed but atleast in above way we can atleast free ourselves from incurring sin..

The Soul is called Brahmaan and his nature is called "Adhyatma" (self), actions done are called "Karma", physical nature ie. the changes in the body is called "Adhibhuta", universal form of Lord Krishna is called "Adhidaiva" and Lord Krishna as supersoul is called "Adhiyajna" (lord of sacrifice..

Indian culture and the vedic science was much much ahead from the rest of the world but we did not value its importance...

Bhagwad Gita - A sure way to fight depression
In our day to day life, whether working for an organization or doing your own business or your responsiblity for your household work, the most common thing many times is that you get depressed while doing your work. Depressed employees in any organization is a common sight. Dejected employees, depressed employees, unmotivated employees, desolate employees, morose looking employees are very harmful to any organization as they not only decrease the productivity but they also create an atmosphere in which other colleagues may also feel de-motivated & dejected. Similarly if you run your own business & remain depressed while doing your work, certainly you shall not achieve that much in your business if you would have been highly motivated & energetic.Now, De-motivation, Depression, Dejection, Desolation all these D-words relates to your mind or relate to your mental position. It's only your MIND that gets depressed, dejected. You may be physically fit with blood oozing in your nerves, but if you are not well with your MIND then you are certainly not going to perform to your full potential. Mental health is where the key to success lies. If you are mentally supercharged then you can achieve any milestone in spite of having any physical inadequacy.Now, how to get out of this Depression, De-motivation & how to increase the productivity at work is where the great teachings of "Bhagwat Gita" come into play. Now for those who do not know about "Bhagwat Gita"."Bhagwat Gita" is an ancient religious book of the "Hindus" & in this book are great philosophies of Hinduism. These philosophies teach you all about, how you should do your duty, how you should lead your life etc. This "Bhagwat Gita" teachings were given by "Lord Sri Krishna", God Himself, to his disciple "Arjuna" on the battle field of Kurukshetra in Haryana state of India in ancient times. "Arjuna" was involved in a war against his enemies (some of them his own relatives too) but he refused to do his duty of fighting a righteous battle as he got infatuated & started thinking of his enemies as his own near & dear ones. He told his master "Lord Sri Krishna" that he is going away from the war & do not want to fight on the battle field. Arjuna's mental health became weak & he got deeply depressed. To overcome his disciple Arjuna's depression & to motivate him to fight a righteous war, "Lord Sri Krishna" gave the great teachings of "Bhagwat Gita" to his disciple "Arjuna". After listening to all these great teachings, Arjuna's mental health became well & he became motivated & energetic to fight the war.Now many of us & many of our employees in our organization find themselves in the same state of mind, as that of "Arjuna". Their de-motivated, depressed state of mind can be changed to motivated & energetic one by these teachings of "Bhagwat Gita". Through these teachings, mental equilibrium of any depressed person can be overcome & he can come out of any crisis situation. The teachings of "Bhagwat Gita" can simply transform a person.Now Bhagwat Gita teaches about "Mind Control". Mind is that makes the personality of a person. De-motivated mind makes a person depressed one & a motivated one makes a person cheerful. If one's mind is in one's control & he/she can concentrate deeply on one's work, then that person can do wonders at work. Mind is very powerful one & to control it, to keep it in one's control is very difficult. It just wanders like wind here & there & it takes enough of self discipline & practice of meditation to control it, to get it concentrated on any job or activity. As per "Arjuna" to "Lord Sri Krishna" in Chapter Six verse 34:"chanchalam hi manah krishnapramathi balavad drdhamtasyaham nigraham manyevayor iva su-duskaram" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Six verse 34)"Arjuna said: For the mind is restless, turbulent, obstinate and very strong, O Krishna, and to subdue it, to control it, I think, is more difficult than controlling the wind.""sri-bhagavan uvachaasamsayam maha-bahomano durnigraham chalamabhyasena tu kaunteyavairagyena cha grhyate" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Six verse 35)"Lord Sri Krishna said: O mighty-armed Arjuna, it is undoubtedly that mind is very difficult to curb & is restless, but it is possible by suitable practices of meditation and by detachment.""asamyatatmana yogodusprapa iti me matihvasyatmana tu yatatasakyo ’vaptum upayatah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Six verse 36)"Lord Sri Krishna said: For one whose mind is unbridled, uncontrolled, self-realization is a difficult work. But he whose mind is controlled and who strives by appropriate means is assured of success. That is My opinion."So in the Bhagwat Gita, "Lord Sri Krishna" first of all asks one to do his DUTY. If a person does his/her duty then half of the problems of that person are solved. Not doing one's duty is very harmful as it produces negative results only in one's life, like frustration, depression, de-motivation etc. If one does at least his/her duty, then such negative factors affect that person to a lesser degree or do not affect at all. As per "Lord Sri Krishna", doing one’s prescribed duties, even though faultily is better to have a better Mental Health."sreyan sva-dharmo vigunahpara-dharmat sv-anusthitatsva-dharme nidhanam sreyahpara-dharmo bhayavahah" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Three verse 35)"Lord Sri Krishna said: It is far better to discharge one’s prescribed duties, even though faultily, than another’s duties perfectly. Destruction in the course of performing one’s own duty is better than engaging in another’s duties, for to follow another’s path is dangerous."Another teaching of "Bhagwat Gita" is to do one's work for the sake of work only without caring for the fruit arising out of that work. That simply means to get deeply involved in one's work or to just think single mindedly about performing the best in one's job without thinking about the results arising out of those actions performed while doing one's work or duty. Just concentrate on your work, that's it. Below verse of "Bhagwat Gita" explains this."karmany evadhikaras tema phalesu kadachanama karma-phala-hetur bhurma te sango ’stv akarmani" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 47)"Lord Sri Krishna said: You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty."Another below verse of "Bhagwat Gita" explains that one should do one's duty equi-poised or to have the equanimity of mind, without caring & renouncing all attachment to success or failure. If one does one's duty efficiently & with single minded devotion, without any fear of success or failure in his/her Endeavour, then certainly that person shall succeed in his/her work, as he/she is doing that work without any fear of success or failure. His/her mind shall be at peace & ease while doing such work without any fear of success or failure. Any person whose mind is at peace, certainly works effectively."yoga-sthah kuru karmanisangam tyaktva dhananjayasiddhy-asiddhyoh samo bhutvasamatvam yoga ucyate" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 48)"Lord Sri Krishna said: Perform your duty equi-poised, O Arjuna, abandoning all attachment to success or failure. Such equanimity is called yoga."So if a person is dedicated to his work & works for the sake of work only without any fear of success or failure, then that person is going to be certainly successful in his/her carrier. By doing meditation & other yoga techniques, one can control one's mind & a disciplined mind can be made to concentrate on one's job better, producing better results. So by following the teachings of "Bhagwat Gita" one is certainly going to excel in his/her job & in life.--------------------------------------------------------------------Read the magical book "Bhagwad Gita" and the wonderful pastimes of the beautiful lord Krishna and see how one can come out of the two forces "negative & positive" which keep contemplating all the time with this Human body giving us happiness but temperory and also distress though that also temperory, but we humans are the final sufferrers, hence come out of this "negative / positive" web and attain bliss in the company of Lord Krishna - the ENDLESS ONE...........bharat b bajaj
