10. Key learnings
Studying the Gita is nothing but learning about God and
eventually becoming One with God. To learn about God
means first knowing and then becoming God. That means
eradicating self--love, ego, selfishness, and possessiveness
This level of humility is essential to realize that you yourself
are God. The process is slow and requires a lot of practice, but
it can be done. It is feasible in this very life and in this very
world. It would be nice if you could go to a secluded place
and learn from a saint. Or, you can stay with your family,
fulfill your obligations and learn along the way. Either way,
it requires total dedication, lots of worldly sacrifices and
constant practice.

11. 7 Lessons From The Bhagavad Gita
This poem contains so much knowledge, inspiring deep awe and wonder. It’s difficult to wrap
it up into bullet points, but here are seven of my takeaways:
1. This physical world is all delusion. Do not fret, fear or ruminate… Hold fast to
the awareness that you are following a path, the exact path, which you are
intended to be following.
2. Choose your path, based on your nature; whether it be Karma yoga (the path of
action), jnana yoga (the path of knowledge or wisdom), raja yoga (the path of
meditation) or Bhakti yoga (the path of devotion or love)… all path’s lead to
divinity. All paths are divine. You are divine
3. How you enter truth is irrelevant; whether you call your path Christian, Hindu,
Jewish, Buddhist, Islam etc is not important, all paths lead to divinity. If your
focus is on right action, action for the greater good, offering this action without
attachment, you will arrive in the light. You are light.

12. 4. The importance lies in the letting go, just be. Be. Trust in the Self.
5. Act out of love with no attachment to the outcome
6. Have Faith in the knowledge of oneness.
7. Simply know that there is so much more, infinitely more, beyond what can be seen,
felt, heard by your physical senses

13. Management guidelines from
Bhagwat Gita
Management is the process of aligning people and getting them
committed to work for the common goal to the maximum social
benefit- in search of excellence
The critical question in minds of all the managers is how to be
effective in their jobs.
The answer to this fundamental question is found in the
Bhagwat Gita, which repeatedly proclaims that “You must try to
manage yourself”.
The reason is that unless a manager reaches the level of
excellence and effectiveness, he or she will be merely a face in
the crowd.

14. Management guidelines from Bhagwat Gita(in Cont)
• The modern concept of vision, motivation, excellence,
Leadership, achieving goals, giving work meaning,
decision making and planning are all discussed in the
Bhagwat Gita. There is one major difference,
• While western management thought too often deals with
problems at material, external and peripheral levels. The
Bhagwat Gita tackles the problem from grass root level of
Human Thinking.
• Once the basic thinking of man is improved, it will
automatically enhance the quality of his actions and their
results.
