INTODUCTION TO BHAGWAD GITA ON 6 WAYS TO LIVE A WONDERFUL LIFE
bhagwad gita is a holy book of the hindus
it is the conversation between lord krishna and arjuna
a book of wisdom on how to live a good, righteous and a happy life
the gita is one of the greatest conversations the world listens to because what krishna is telling arjuna is the greatest message sending out to all of us, on how to live our lives in the most fulfilling and prosperous and best possible way
krishna himself tells us that … we don’t need to worship god to be dear to him or to find peace and contented life
according to the Gita,
6 WAYS TO LIVE A WONDERFUL LIFE
1. being a good person
who wishes no one ill will,
who gives no grief,
who treats blame and praise with the same attitude as listed by krishna
treating others with kindness and respect leading to positive relationships
upholding ethical standards and treating others fairly
acting in the best interest of others thus contributing to the greater good, thereby creating a positive impact in the world around us
live a life that’s true to you, live the life you are yearning to live
when you do, you will inspire others to do the same
2. what is also essential is not to depend on anyone ……
not your parents, not your friends, not your heroes, not your leaders … for your HAPPINESS
not to blame anyone for your unhappiness
it is not something that you find, it is something you create
it is not something you chase, it is something you embrace
it is in the gratitude you feel for what you have
it is in the peace you find within yourself
you are the source of your own happiness
3. learn to enjoy the pleasure of your OWN COMPANY
keep away from the pointless chatter of the crowd
being comfortable and content in your own presence is a sign of self awareness, self acceptance and self sufficiency
enjoying your own company allows to unwind
engage in activities you enjoy, reflect on your feelings and thoughts without distraction
4. participate whole heartedly whatever role you are required to play
be it mother, father, son, daughter, in and off the field and give it your 100%
most important ingredient is your will power to stick to your commitments.
giving 100% is itself a commitment which you have made to yourself
giving 100% effort in everything you do requires a combination of mindset, discipline and effective strategies
some of them are..
A. setting clear goals as having a clear target in mind can motivate you to give your best effort
B. prioritizing and focusing on those goals to increase the quality of your work
C. creating a healthy daily balanced routine to stay focused and energized
D. eliminate possible distractions for a conducive environment for more productivity and concentration
E. practicing mindfulness of staying in the present helping to stay focused on the task at hand
F. staying positive towards your work and challenges to boost your motivation and resilience
G. celebrate smaller wins will motivate you to continue give you best efforts
F. continuous learning through learning new skills or taking courses to enhance your abilities and keep you engaged
always remember that giving your 100% effort does not mean being perfect all the time but it is about consistently striving to do your best and learning from both successes and failures
PUT YOUR HEART, MIND, INTELLECT AND SOUL EVEN TO YOUR SMALLER ACTS. THIS IS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS – SWAMI SIVANAND
5. Watch the action on the field that is your body and your mind.
birth, death, joy, sorrow, pain, pleasure whatever may come always remember that anything that happens is god’s plan and it is for my goodwill. remain calm and composed
just observe what you are thinking, feeling and doing as it occurs
thich nhat hanh says.. ‘ THE PRESENT MOMENT IS THE ONLY TIME OVER WHICH WE HAVE DOMINION’
6. complete SURRENDER to the almighty
think of him, the supreme power, constantly with unwavering discipline and unswerving devotion
surrendering to god is a deeply personal and spiritual process that involves letting go of our own desires, fear and control and fully submitting to god’s will and guidance
we use the following ways …
through prayers and meditation where we open our hearts and mind to god’s presence and guidance
releasing the burden of trying to control everything and trust in god’s infinite wisdom and love
letting go of our own ego and trust in god’s plan for our lives

HERE’S TO CONCLUDE WITH A DISCLAIMER
i am no teacher or saint to preach or teach people
but by god’s grace i come upon such references from books and teachings from spiritual books which gives us a lot of wisdom and ways to live our valuable life meaningfully
and teach ourselves and the people whom we associate with – to live with the right code of conduct and to raise our standard of living
making smaller changes in life will not only help us be a better individual but also bring a valuable change in the society, in the current scenario which is very much required
however small it may be but let’s atleast start from OURSELVES
let’s make the world a better place with our small efforts in all aspects of living
so that’s all friends, hope i could bring some insight in you
until next time, keep smiling
much love .. stay happy .. stay blessed … ALWAYS
