6 Best Learnings from Bhagavad Gita

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is not only a Hindu holy book, but it is a life lesson that we got from Lord Krishna when a war between Pandavas and Kauravas was about to begin on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. At that time, Krishna advised Pandavas, prince Arjun, to clear his doubts about the war.

Even today, whenever we face life difficult situations, those lessons are as important and showing the right direction to us as they were for Arjun during the war of Mahabharata.

Here I am sharing 6 Lessons from Bhagavad gita:

1. Concentrate on your goals, do your work and do not focus on the result

Bhagavad gita learning 1

When a person starts a task, he is initially concerned about the outcome. As a result, he is unable to focus on his work and produces work of inferior quality. As a result, he does not achieve his goal. If you want a 100% result, you must first work with 100% devotion, according to Krishna.

When you focus on rewards, you are more likely to be concerned about failure and depressed if the outcome is not favorable. To achieve your goals, the Bhagavad Gita recommends focusing on the process.

2. Nothing is Permanent in this World

Bhagavad gita learning 2

Bhagavad Gita communicates a very powerful and important message that nothing is permanent in this life.

Like seasons are temporary in nature, similarly, pain and pleasure are impermanent. Tough times will come and go; learn to tolerate them without being affected by them. The only thing that is constant is change.

Ups and downs, difficult times and situations will come and go in life. Be patient and learn to tolerate them without becoming affected by them.

3. Don’t be controlled by your Desire

Bhagavad gita learning 3

All desires, feelings and thoughts are born out of mind which leads to attachment, a cause of anger. Desire and anger are the greatest enemies of a person. As a human being, you are prone to having desires. Yet you should neither suppress your desire nor let it control your life and mind. According to the Bhagavad Gita, desires are bound to come.

So having a desire is not a problem, but one should have full control over that desire. Be aware of what you really desire. Gita explains a justifiable and right way to fulfill desire by discovering yourself.

It helps you to understand and manage your desires, emotions, taking right decisions and actions.

4. Face your Fears Bravely

Bhagavad gita learning 4

The achievement will hold no value if you have fear in your mind. Fear, in other words, means doubt in your abilities. It will not only make you forget the goals out of fear but will also make you worthless, but in the case of fearless souls, the sky is the limit.

Fear, according to the Bhagavad Gita, is a material illusion, and our true focus should be on fulfilling our duties during our limited time on this planet. Lord Krishna instructs a weak and trembling Arjun not to abandon his duty because of material fears.

Fear of failure and respect for yourself are the two obstacles to reaching your goals. Gita advises facing your fears bravely.

5. Your life is based on your Beliefs

Bhagavad gita learning 5

You are what you think you are. Your thoughts make and define you. If you think of being happy even in times of failure, you will be happy. If you let revenge take over your mind even in times of success, you harbor negative impressions.

Having positive thoughts helps you achieve a balanced perspective, stay confident, overcome negative notions, prepare well to meet challenges, and channel your energy to achieve your goals. So, do not let negative thoughts take over your mind and ruin your chances.

6. Don’t doubt your Abilities

Bhagavad gita 6

Doubting oneself is the first step toward self-destruction. We humans generally have little idea of what we are capable of because we limit ourselves by comparing our successes with others, by thinking we are not good enough, or by confining ourselves to social standards.

We fail to understand that our abilities, beliefs, and goals should matter most to us. Doubting ourselves will not only hinder the journey to success but will also lead to not realizing our full potential. So, don’t doubt yourself or your abilities.

Here’s a way how to achieve your goals faster

Achieve goals faster

Are you working towards a specific goal? Do you want to achieve your goals faster?

According to a survey, only 4% of people in the world have goals. Isn’t it surprising?

So, if you have a goal, then certainly you are in these 4% and the possibility is absolutely there that you will eventually achieve it as well.

The two important questions are why the majority of people don’t have goals. Aren’t they working towards something they really want? Absolutely they are, but their idea of goal is so general and unrealistic that it isn’t a goal itself.  

Another thing is how to check if the goals we are working towards are right for us? And how to make things faster…

 I have been a keen observer and curious learner about how people actually set and achieve their goals and you will be surprised to know mostly the goals people set aren’t theirs but from the environment (parents, teachers, social media).

Goal Quote by Romil

Think of the goal you are working towards and where it came from and you will understand what I am saying.

There is absolutely no problem if a goal reference is from external, but if it is not validated by your side to match your vision, then possibly you will give up or even after achieving those goals you won’t feel happy. 

Here I am sharing 4 steps to set the right goals and achieve your goals faster.  

A dream becomes a goal when action is taken toward its achievement.”

— Bo Bennett

1. Write Your Goals

Write your goals

Our mind by nature is very fluctuating. One moment you have one thought, another moment it’s different. And if the same is applied to our goals, it will be challenging to set goals.

Had it happened to you that you changed your goal many times and were finally confused about what to do?  

If you want to achieve any goal, you need to be dedicated to that specific goal for a longer time. It needs patience, it needs determination and, more than that, you need to select the right goal.

What can be a better way than writing it down?

According to a survey, only 3% of people were able to actually achieve their goals because these people write their goals. Writing goals increase your chance by 42% that you will achieve them.

Very simple and effective technique: For the next seven days, write down your seven goals for the day, with a twist. You are not required to refer to previous goals when writing your goals (this is important).

On the eighth day, go through all of your goals and just tick the ones you’ve done the most. Choose the top three goals. Without a doubt, these are the objectives you should strive for.

2. Clarity of goal

Clarity of goal

You have cleared the first crucial step, now you have selected 3 goals you want to be dedicated towards.

Perhaps you have had similar experiences. Can you recall what triggered you to give up a goal?

Yes, its failure or less result than you expected. Can you relate?

Many people are familiar with what they want to achieve but they don’t know why they want to achieve it. The clarity is lacking, the purpose is missing and, because of that, many leave their goals.

One thing you will notice in people who achieve great things is that they are purpose-driven. In the worst of the scenarios, they don’t let their goals die and work towards them until they achieve it.

Do you want to be in the same category?

Ask yourself why you selected your goal and think deeply; see how it impacts your life, others life, what will happen if that goal is achieved. The stronger and deep your purpose is stronger possibility of achieving it and I assure you will find your way.

3. Context Based Learning

Context Learning

We all have dreams that we wish we could easily achieve, and the reason why few people are able to do so is simple because it is not so easy.

So, Context Based learning is something we use to achieve our goals and it really works.

Steps 1 – Learn the Concept: If I want to be a singer, can I go to a national competition and win? Not until I learn the basics, how to sing, how to hold breath for a long time. This is crucial and foundation.

Step 2 – Implementation: Learned and not implementation is equal to no results. So what you learn is important to be implemented in your life.

Step 3 – Get feedback from Expert: No matter where you want to go, you need someone to look up to as a role model. If possible, get coaching from them as well; their feedback can be extremely beneficial. You can still succeed without a coach, but it will take more effort and time.

Step 4 – Work on Feedback: The feedback from coaches and learned people should be implemented and observed to see how you approach your goals with success.

4.Track your goals

Track your goals

It is easier to set goals, but until we track them, we can’t be able to monitor our progress and until we monitor, we can’t improve and reaching goals might just remain a dream.

Tracking goals allows you to determine what works and what does not, allowing you to eliminate what does not work and implement what does work, making the journey more enjoyable.

You can track and evaluate your progress at any time to see if you’re still on track or if you need to reassess and make changes. Small improvements in individual metrics add up, allowing you to check off performance goals as you go, eventually leading you to your end goal.
