The essence of Bhagwad Geeta

Things I have learned from the Bhagwad Geeta classes:

• I got a brief idea how to chant 700 verses of Bhagwad Geeta.
• If a person is very angry, just listen to that person and let the grief come out.
• First we should understand/listen to the problem of the opposite person, he will be half satisfied and at last, give him your advice if needed.
• Dharma doesn’t mean religion it means balance sheet of paapa and punya.
• You can create your own destiny.
• You are your own enemy and your own friend.
• If you have ambition/desire, you are a healthy person. First, break your ambition into small chunks. Make daily doable goals.
• Don’t procrastinate the problem instead do the difficult one first.
• We need to be emotionally mature as behind every anger there is the pain.
• Always look good in every situation.
• Mantra has power. We can give power to the mantra by chanting it.
• All the humans are not content with their life or success because of their long unfulfilled list of desires.
• If you have desires, act upon it.
• One should not react or respond in anger.
• We need to take care of 2 emotions: FEAR and ANGER.
• Learn a lesson and be happy from your past bitter experiences.
• Just be a good support to your kids by telling them this is my view and then let them take a wise decision.
• Be happy and satisfied from inside. Don’t depend on your kids, husband or family for the happiness and contentment.
• I am a trustee and not the owner of my kids, money, house, etc. as I have not created it.
• For the high self-esteem go for (might be done) dharma.
• Invest time for yourself. If you love yourself, then only you can give love to others.
• Set your goals large then everything or situation will become small.
• No person is good or bad.
• Don’t label people.
