” We are endowed with the ability of\u00a0free will.”<\/div>\n
This statement has struck\u00a0me the most from the first session of the Gita Class to this day.A good question -: How I look upon myself?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I am still pondering …<\/div>\n
We are not fantastic animals. I can bring about change and hence I need to work upon the capacities I am endowed with. Capacity to desire. Capacity to act and Capacity to know.<\/div>\n
This reminds me of the first line from Scoot Peck book “Life is difficult.”<\/div>\n
I have to work so as to bring change in me. Another question quips in my mind -: How is this change going to happen or occur to me?<\/div>\n
An important learning I assimilated from the first session -:<\/div>\n
a.) The sense of accomplishment.<\/div>\n
b.) Having ambitions and desires signals that I am a healthy person.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When I do the reality check, I am happy only when my desires get fulfilled.Hence, the sense of success is lacking and there is an endless list of the unfulfilled desires.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the second session, I got the answer to my question from Guruji. The analysis of this\u00a0sholka\u00a0was an eye-opener for me as I got to know the true meaning of this\u00a0shloka\u00a0-:<\/div>\n
\u00a0“\u0915\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0923\u092f\u0947 \u0935\u093e\u0927\u093f\u0915\u093e\u0930\u0938\u094d\u0924\u0947 \u092e\u093e\u0902 \u092b\u0932\u0947\u0937\u0941 \u0915\u0926\u093e\u091a\u0928 \u0964 \u092e\u093e\u0902 \u0915\u0930\u094d\u092e\u092b\u0932\u0939\u0947\u0924\u0941\u0930\u094d\u092d\u0942: \u092e\u093e\u0902\u0924\u0947 \u0938\u0902\u0919\u0917\u094b\u0938\u094d\u0924\u094d\u0935\u0915\u0930\u094d\u092e\u0923\u093f” \u0964\u0964\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n

You do not have a say in the actions of results anytime\u00a0 Results are taken care off. Krishna says “Do not attach the results to your actions.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Having understood this, the definition of success got redefined in these sessions. Success is the ability to how I respond or take the results when it comes.\u00a0 My happiness or harmony in me does not get disturbed when the outcome or result is either favorable or unfavorable.<\/div>\n
The most important learning or the assimilation of thoughts is -:<\/div>\n
a.) enjoy the whole process<\/div>\n
b.) Learn from the experiences<\/div>\n
c.) focus on learning<\/div>\n
d.) Do not get attached to the inactions.<\/div>\n
In this struggle of attaining success, panic occurs. Acknowledging my limitations, having acceptance in me and desire to act will ward off unwanted burden that I carry with me.<\/div>\n
Another important learning is about the process of living\u00a0life intelligently.<\/div>\n
The law of karma ” I am responsible for actions and results are taken care off. Focus on actions.”<\/div>\n
Going further with the assimilation of the thoughts during the sessions, Raga and Devyesha – the two terms which mean what I want to have and What I do not want to have. This led to an understanding of the desires which each one has and the ultimate goal of this life rests on them.<\/div>\n
Coming to Artha Kama, the ultimate goal of my life should not be time-bound. Acknowledging that I have a problem and commitment to follow Dharma will ensure growth.<\/div>\n
To summarize the essence of my learnings from the sessions so far -:<\/div>\n
In a nutshell,\u00a0 Bhagwad Gita talks about self-growth, self-esteem, self-discovery, and self-worth. In the pressure of Raga and Devysha, follow Dharma ( to be done).<\/div>\n
