Lord Krishna's Teachings for Better Decision-Making
Lord Krishna Will Put Your Life On The Right Path
Have you ever been at a crossroads, confused about which direction to take... wondered if you needed to quit or continue, leave or stay, do or not do, act or just wait till things tide over?
Being in doubt is a common phenomenon, more often than not, it's an everyday experience. We're constantly questioning ourselves even in small simple acts. We're playing out these mini wars in our mind.
"Change is the law of the world. In a moment you become the owner of millions, in the other you become penniless."
The only thing in this world is change. It is the absolute truth, it the biggest, more prevalent law. Those who resist change are the ones who will never flourish. The adaptation of change is the key to lifelong happiness and contentment. The human body is the biggest example of this phenomenon."For one who has conquered his mind, a mind is best of friends, but for one who has failed to do so, a mind is the greatest enemy."
Your mind is the key to all the actions you wish to transpire in life. You can control your mind to be your slave, and you will win at life, or, you can let your mind control you, and fail at everything you want to be. This simple mantra of life is very powerful when it comes to your conduct in life. Everyday, train your mind to be better and watch your life transform completely."Set your heart upon your work but never on its reward."
Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma Phaleshu Kada Chana. One of the most quoted teachings of Bhagavad Geeta simply tells us to focus on the work you do, not on the end result. Those who think only about the end results and stress over the output stop focusing on the process of the work. Those who acquire knowledge only to achieve something else will never be able to extract the true virtue of it. Keep doing the good deed everyday, good results are bound to follow."Fear not. What is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed."
What is the point of your fear anyway? Krishna asks the world to question their irrational fears. We go on in our lives, wondering and wondering about our unexpected circle of circumstances that affect our lives, always stressed out, always having the worst thoughts. What is meant to happen, will happen. You might as well get along with your life and enjoy it."No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come."
When the going gets tough and the temptations begin to loom on you, you are offered a choice: the right thing or the easy thing. If you stick to the path of the right thing and keep doing the good deed, you should no longer worry for your end, for it is bound to be glorious.
This crucial teaching that Krishna brings to us is of your intention towards everything you do. It can be a task as simple as peeling a vegetable or making your bed. Replace your thoughts of contempt and pride with love and compassion. Your actions are like a plant that blooms, feed it drops of honesty instead of torching it with hate and witness the most beautiful flower coming out of it.
Jai Shree Krishna!
