"Things don't come to you when you want them most, they come to you when you expect them the least. The "Bhagavat Geeta" teaches us to focus on our tasks, without desiring the fruits. Time and again I have seen this coming true in my personal life. Want that job desperately? Chances are that You will fail in the interview! Instead focus on the interview itself, without thinking about the outcome, you are most likely to succeed."

The timeless wisdom of The "Bhagavat Geeta" remains relevant today, as it was in past and will be so in future. 5000 years back, Lord Krishna delivered the message of Geeta to the great Indian archer-Arjuna, who was about to lay down his arms and surrender before the great war of Mahabharat began. 5000 years after, the relevance of this sloka is not lost:- Karmany Evadhikaraaste Maa Phaleshu Kadachanam....You have the right to your duty, not the fruit. A job interview, meeting a new girl, a critical operation, reaching to a place on time through the traffic jam, facing an examination, submitting a paper to a famous journal for review, applying for a loan.... in our day to day activities results are all that matter and we all wish we succeed. However we don't succeed all the time. The Geeta teaches us to detach ourselves from the result and focus on the task. Put GOD everything before our personal endeavors, the success, as well as failures. Once we detach ourselves from the result, life becomes tension free!

"The best way of overcoming anger is to keep silent and pause for a moment and accept the emotions inside. Process yourself and you will discover things that are hidden for you. Then, at that time, you will know more about yourself. You will experience the true happiness within you because you know now how to conquer it."

"Don't ever have the feeling of hatred toward the people who ill-treated you. Take it in positive way, gather your inner strength and turn the tides in your favor. Rather, be kind to them for they are the ones who inspired you to strive for even better. For they are the ones who made you realize that best in you is yet to be. Always be thankful to such people, who once looked down upon you, for they helped you in being a better person."

I know its difficult to think this way but believe me, once you choose this path of life your every moment of life will be harmonious, irrespective of what kind of events occur in life. You will live and love every single moment and feel blessed to have the kind of life you having now. Enjoy life, it's precious.
