Lessons Learnt

This is a special section of my blog. This contains things that I have learnt from life and I want to share with all. [The list will keep on getting longer ...]

1. Do not mix Micro and Macro management
2. The biggest issues arise from places where they are least expected to
3. At the macro level, economics becomes politics [19 Jan, 2007]
4. "Entities that are limited in their concept of space are vulnerable over time, especially in changing environments." [27 Jan, 2007]
5. A big change in life is a result of many small and invisible (unmanifested) changes. That's why typically greatness is not so fast to achieve. [18 March, 2007]

Trust, Faith and Devotion

This sanskrit verse added a new meaning to my life

"Yadasmadiyam nahi tat par esham"

This means that "no one can take away from me, what is mine"

I came to know about this verse from my spiritual Guru - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. And it is so true, that it does not need any explaination. Call it destiny or fate, hard work, fruit of action, karma or anything... the truth will prevail.

The law of karma says that for every action we perform, good or bad, we have to recieve the fruit of it. There is only one way out of it... when a person performs "karma yoga", the action is performed, but the fruit born of the action is not linked with it.

So the point here is to perform action, established in state of yoga, without having a desire of results. And you will get what is the best from nature, and that too, without bondage of action!!

"No one can indeed take away from me, what is mine", so be without fear and have faith and devotion
