Perspective On Factors Impacting Life

What the next moment is going to bring?

As we discuss this perspective on factors impacting life it is important to understand the teachings of Lord Krishna as taught in Bhagwad Gita, about life and the associated knowledge about life. According to these teachings we humans can perform our karma or action but results are not in our absolute control. As I look back the realization dawns on me that most results in life are impacted by multiple factors including our response to these events and circumstances. And that is the reason why things at times happen in unpredictable ways that is beyond our control despite best efforts. The life remains unpredictable because future events can never be predicted with certainty and so is our response. That is why any attempt to predict future with absolute precision involves an element of probability making it a complex affair to foretell, what the next moment is going to bring?. The only control seems to be our response ,the manner we chose to handle any given situation. But the truth experienced by all of us that an invisible force plays a defining role in altering outcomes at one stage or the other. Some call it luck , good fortune, blessings of God or Bhagwad Kripa.  The sooner this truth is understood and accepted the better it is to build a clear perspective regarding the factors impacting life and the best that we can do in a given situation.

Education regarding this principle is critical to peace and prosperity

The single most important factor in life that lies under our control seems to be our response to the external stimulus. This is the factor that impacts the outcomes most of the time. So the power that lies in the moment is in the decision to act in a particular fashion. This decision has the potential to modify the impact of any event and unregulated behavior is at the root of most problems our world faces today. The only solution is aligning our behavior with the higher principles and values putting an end to the all pervading debate and reasoning attempting to look at life as a zero sum game. Then only our understanding and usage of levers of controls would improve. This education is the need of the hour.  Attempt to educate the world for fostering personality traits such as character, integrity, dharma(resolute focus on duty), humility, positivity, brotherhood and inclusivity in that order is the way to everlasting peace and prosperity.  

GOD BLESS

Upgrade Your Behavior for Personal Growth & Prosperity

By
                        When interacting with others, most of us have this approach of taking others for granted. We generally are too obsessed with our own liking, disliking, goals, aspirations, plans, dreams and the list has no end. But this approach can only take us down the hill and pretty fast. It might seem that being self centered is in our long term interest but this is like viewing distorted reality.                        Anything that we feel is only for us , and under the influence of such thoughts if we go on antagonizing others around us, we are surely inviting trouble for ourselves. When that problem is going to surface?, this  is just a matter of time but it certainly would.                            The social approach of being considerate & kind , as well as adhering to th...
