Do you know Bhagvat Gita is a guide for entrepreneurs which motivates them to sail through tough times and pushes them to touch new horizons? Although it is around 2500 years old, but its content remains afresh till date and can lead anyone from any generation or era. During these tough times, let’s sneak peek into the excerpts from Bhagavad Gita which can transform our lives forever.
“Karmanye vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana, Ma Karmaphalaheturbhurma Te Sangostvakarmani.”
This Shloka in Sanskrit means ‘You have all rights to work or perform, but you not entitled to the fruits of actions.
It says that you should focus on your work and keep delivering your best as that’s the only thing you can do.
When you think of end result, you will just not enjoy the process of reaching it. So it is a lesson for entrepreneurs who often get carried away aiming to success and deviate from their path and fail before even reaching the success point. Bhagwad Geeta says that it is your duty to work and enjoy while leaving everything less.
“Krodhaad bhavati sammohah sammohaat smriti vibhramah, Smritibhramshaad buddhinaasho buddhinaashaat pranashyati”
This Sanskrit Sholka teaches us to stay away from anger and says that delusion comes from anger which leads to loss of memory which makes one perishable. So entrepreneurs need to have control on their aggression and anger and should think straight and rational. Adopt calmness in resolving all your issues.
“tasmad asaktah satatam karyam karma samacara, Asakto hy acaran karma param apnoti purushah”
This Sanskrit Sholka says that one should never get attached to fruit of activities and should rather act in a way of performing his duty. One attains Supreme when he/she works without attachment.
Attachment, at times, limit our ability and can leave us devastated. So one should not get obsessed with fame, money and success and stay focused on your goal.
