He was the epitome of objectivity – dispassionate passion, disinterested interest. He gave his all to every action, yet, was totally independent of its outcome. Manu Bhaker quoted this lesson from the Bhagwad Gita – focus on the present action. Do not dwell on the result that is beyond your control.
Krishn reintroduced the ancient Vedic concept of yajna that corporate India would do well to imbibe. When you work in a spirit of yajna, service and sacrifice for a higher cause, you are blessed with immense prosperity. The law is – give you gain, grab you lose. All givers are happy. It is the takers who are unhappy. And givers grow into towering personalities. When the employees of a firm offer their talent for the success of the organisation, the company makes mind-boggling profits that are then shared with employees, shareholders and stakeholders. Everyone benefits.
It is important to feel one with your colleagues. Then they go beyond the call of duty and contribute to your cause. The synergistic effect of togetherness produces stunning results.
Krishn’s timely advice helped the Pandavs win the Mahabharat war. It is not economic might, political clout or military prowess that wins battles – it is clarity of thought. The combination of a strong intellect and high values makes you invincible.
