Transcript Slide 1

Always aim at complete harmony of
thought and word and deed. Always
aim at purifying our thoughts and
everything will be well.
Happiness is when what we think, what
we say, and what we do are in harmony.
Hate the sin, love the sinner.
In the attitude of silence the soul finds
the path in a clearer light, and what is
elusive and deceptive resolves itself
into crystal clearness. Our life is a long
and arduous quest after Truth.
It is unwise to be too sure of one's own
wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that
the strongest might weaken and the wisest
might err.
Strength does not come from physical
capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
You must be the change
you want to see in the
world.

Performance with
Detachment
A detached performer identifies
with ‘accomplishment’ and not
with what is accomplished.
In this (Detached performance) there is no loss of effort, nor is there
any harm (contrary result). Even a little performance protects one
from great fear.
The essence of Karma Yoga
You can choose your action.
You cannot choose the result of action.
You can choose your reaction.
May you not be without action.
Intention @ work
Often Ask to yourself:
What am I doing?
Human mind
is like a parachute. It works
better when it is open!
Why am I doing?
How am I doing?
Can I do something
differently without
disturbing the
Output?
Can I
delegate
this to
Someone?
Is it related to
what
I would like to
achieve?
Leading by living
Whatever a great man does, that other
men also imitate; whatever he sets up
as the standard, that the world follows.
Bhagavad-Gita 3.21
How to recognize a leader?
In his presence, others feel an urge to follow
him.
Ready to accomplish some goal under his
directions.
A leader stimulates, motivates and inspires to
follow.
He does ordinary things extra-ordinarily.
He is part of the group he leads and does not
remote-control.
He finds ideas by discussing with his group
