Swami Vivekananda said," Human is divine and our goal is to reach divinity". All of us want three things in life: happiness, peace and freedom. How to get these is a big question, and our sacred text, Gita, offers us many many insights and ways to get there. I attended the Annual Gita Forum in Singapore some time ago, and noted down some key points there as explained by learned speakers:
1. Listen first, talk later as you solve the problem by listening, rather than by being smart.
2. Ask deep, incisive questions to listen and understand the real issues, and be humble before the facts.
3. To make fair decisions, have a clear head, tough hand and warm heart.
4. Find a mentor for yourself, and provide mentor-ship to others.
5. Live your life as "yagya" or sacred offering by practicing giving. When you give more than you take, your life is fulfilled.
6. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in others' service.
7. Look at the intersection of life goals and career goals, and aim to achieve them to have a balanced life.
8. You will be treated as you act; whether as a victim or a leader.
9. You are an idiot if you don't believe in yourself.
10. Enjoy what you do rather than what you get.
11. Infuse your life with love and care. Spend time with people who love and inspire you.
12. Surrender completely through humility, love and compassion.
13. Find unique strengths of people around you, rather than look at their weaknesses.
14. Try to emulate the way great people live their lives-- uncompromising, adhering to truth, simple, loving and compassionate.
15. Do regular introspection, think and reflect on what is happening outside as well as inside you.
16. You have to BE the person you want others to be.
1. Listen first, talk later as you solve the problem by listening, rather than by being smart.
