Bhagwad Gita teaches us, renunciation from result not from action

While distributing Bhagwad Gita in a classroom there was one child who purposely said, Will your Bhagwad Gita help to pass my exam without studying?

I smiled after hearing his question although his question was in challenging mode but still it is good to clear his doubts.

I asked him, "Do you not complete your homework when you come to school next day and show it your teacher". But why sometimes your teacher gives your appreciation but sometimes not?

Student said, It depends on my teachers mood.

But if you do not complete your homework then? I said. Will you be punished or rewarded?

Of course I will be punished, student said.

Yes, then completing homework is your prime duty and getting appreciation from your teacher is not in your hand it is depend on teachers wish.

Same way reading Bhagwad Gita will help you how to work but it is not that after reading Bhagwad Gita you don't have to work.

That is the reason Lord Krishna taught Arjuna, my dear Arjuna do your duty honestly and keep yourself away from the result. As Arjuna wanted not to fight instead take renunciation from fight. 

What is our duty we have to do it with full mood and devotion and never worry about its result what it will be. That is the complete message of Bhagwad Gita.

Because after the result sometimes we get happy and sometimes we get sad. But if we have knowledge of Bhagwad Gita then we already know it only action is in our hand not its result(fruit).


Hare Krishna!

Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam.  Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 lac...

Real meaning of Success

In today's world everyone is looking for success and for that by hook or by crook they want to achieve it. After getting that achievement they need more and more and if they do not get they become frustrated. And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more. Definition of success changed as per our situation and time as a child, think I will be successful if I get good marks in my exam and the same child after getting good marks started thinking I will be successful if I get a good job. So we can see it is not fixed at some point we think if we get that thing I may be successful but after getting it into our definition of success got changed. Success is...
