The month of romance is coming to an end and several new developments have been the high points of this month for the Blue Caramel family, the details of which I would be posting in a subsequent post. Today's post is based on a famous verse from the holy book of the Hindus, the Bhagavad Gita which has a timeless relevance for all striving for success in one's life.
The Srimad Bhagavad Gita or simply the Gita is the holiest of Hindu scriptures and is basically a transcription of the conversation between the valiant Pandava prince Arjuna and his charioteer, the Hindu deity Lord Krishna. This 700 verse scripture believed to be more than 5000 years old, discusses various philosophies of life and theories that guide them. Amongst the most prominent of all the verses of the Gita is
Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma Phaleshu Kada Chana
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostava Akarmani
This translates to a very amazing philosophy of life which advises people who want to be successful to follow a simple mantra that of keeping on performing one's duties without anticipating or thinking about the rewards associated with them.
To explain the verse stanza by stanza, Karmanye Vadhikaraste, Ma Phaleshu Kada Chana means The right to perform your duties and action is yours but not the entitlement to enjoy the fruits or results of such actions.
Ma Karma Phala Hetur Bhurmatey Sangostava Akarmani means Never be attached to the end result, the fruit of your action otherwise your fulfillment of duties might be compromised.
Putting things into the corporate perspective, all members of the Blue Caramel family, be it in Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur or Mumbai, should keep on performing their tasks at the best of their abilities with an urge to widen their professional horizons without worrying about their career progression. Their career progression is the duty of the management which would be surely done, gradually. Many miss golden opportunities today by worrying too much about impending rewards of tomorrow.
The intelligent would surely get the cue and the fools would really have to be real fools not to get it.
