A CORPORATE YOGI

Recently Nobel Laureate V. Ramakrishnan, an Indian American said in an TV interview that he embarked on his research not out of a desire to win laurels but out of curiosity to solve a scientific problem. He was not working with one eye on the Nobel Prize. So ''It does not matter what you do in life. Let you aspire to be the very best in terms of excellence in whatever you do." In other words EXCELLENCE ought to be our ideal and everything else ought to be a side effect. Bhagwat Gita also teaches us to do work in this way. Doing work in such a way, is called "Nishkama Karma". "Nishkama Karma" just means, no egoism in our action, no expectation of any gain or reward but doing your work effectively. It is also that : "You have a right to action but never to the fruits of action." Below verses of Bhagwat Gita Explains that only. "Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phalesu kadachana ma karma-phala-hetur bhur ma te sango 'stv akarmani" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 47)" "Sri Krishna said to Arjuna: You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty." "Yoga-sthah kuru karmani sangam tyaktva dhananjaya siddhy-asiddhyoh samo bhutva samatvam yoga ucyate" (Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Two verse 48)" "Sri Krishna said to Arjuna: Perform your duty with an equipoise mind, abandoning all attachment to success or failure. Such equanimity is called Yoga." So just do your work with your 100% involvement & dedication & derive pleasure out of doing such work. You yourself shall then see that when you care for the work only & not it's final outcome, you work most effectively. Doing work in such a way is only called "Karma Yoga This may solve most of the problem in any corporate , but than if every one become Nishkam Corporate Yogi , THIS WORLD BECOME A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE AND THIS KIND OF FINANANCIAL CRISIS may not happen . Also there would be no labour unrest , no need for quality control and also no need to check on productivity . If and only if every one enjoy his work and do the best and always try and find ways to excell ,without thinking what would be the outcome and personal profit
