Video - Embracing Duties: The Wisdom of Bhagavad Gita
"Welcome to today's wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita. One of its profound teachings is about embracing our duties without being attached to the outcomes. Duty, or 'dharma' in Sanskrit, refers to our responsibilities and roles in life—whether as a student, parent, worker, or citizen. In Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna emphasizes performing these duties diligently. Detachment from Outcomes: While we should strive for excellence in our duties, the Gita advises us to detach ourselves from the results. This means focusing on giving our best effort without being overly concerned about success or failure. Why Detachment Matters: Attachment to outcomes can lead to anxiety, disappointment, or even arrogance in success. Detachment, on the other hand, frees us from these emotional fluctuations and allows us to stay focused on our actions. According to the Gita, our duty is to perform actions ('karma') with integrity and dedication. The results are not entirely in our control
