Gita For Gen A To Z

Our heart should be like a plain mirror that reflects true images of objects before it, but retains no trace thereafter. It shouldn’t be like a CCTV camera that promptly catches and stores images of every object passing before it. An expert farmer never lets weeds grow in his farm. “Be friendly to everyone riding with you in the same boat, In waters supple, calm, placid, and breeze cool, fragrant, But choose only the best ones from them who shall not Desert you in stormy winds and waters highly turbulent”. Jnaan is the head of Gita, Karm its limbs, and Bhakti is its heart. When actions of limbs synchronize with knowledge of head and harmonize with the spirit of heart, the grand fusion of Samagr Yog takes place. A pole-vaulter hinges his entire energy on the pole to lift him higher than the horizontal bar in order to cross over. On attaining desired height, he leaves the pole and concentrates on crossing the bar. Similarly, a Gunaateet must use Sattv Gun like a pole only to lift him up spiritually, and leave it upon reaching requisite height to cross over the bar of the world. Sattv is his pole, not the goal.

One of the core Hindu scriptures, the Bhagavad Gita holds important lessons on how we can live our lives and fulfil our duties, but the millennials may consider it too ancient for their use or too complex for their understanding. In this book, Bibek Debroy recasts the Bhagavad Gita in a simple and cohesive form for millennials, so that its content and deeper meaning are not lost with the generations of our grandparents and parents.

Gita leads us from spiritual infancy to maturity, impulsive irrationality to intelligent rationalism, and agitation to tranquility. ‘G-OO-D’ contains two ‘O’s between ‘G’, the God, and ‘D’, the Devil. First ‘O’ near ‘G’ denotes Obeisance to God; and second ‘O’, near Devil, denotes Obfuscation. Eliminate Obfuscation from life to see God in everything ‘Good’. Ego and prejudice are the earplugs that stop us from listening to inner voice of God. Enjoy the 3 D film of life by wearing spectacle of Anaasakti, the indifference. Orthodoxy is the peel of a banana whose pulp is Dharm. We shouldn’t set foot on the peel and slip into gutter but relish soul-nourishing pulp. Our senses must follow our commands like the ‘Genie’ of Aladdin’s lamp. The best batsman defends his wicket by driving every ball to boundary but the less skilled runs to score; and the least skilled is bowled out. Dharm appears as the ferocious tiger Richard Parker in the film ‘Life of Pi’. Initially Pi struggles to save himself from tiger; then it suddenly dawns on him that the tiger is an indispensible anchor of his life in the boat. His simple attitudinal change saves the beast and himself.

"Yog Vaashishth: 'Action and knowledge are two wings of bird that must flutter in harmony to reach the horizon of liberation.' A practiser controls his Indriys as a dog controls his wagging tail; otherwise, the tail may start wagging the dog. Achieving personal liberation is not the finale of Gita; fulfilling duties is also important. God is the beneficiary of all good works as the government receives all taxes. Mountaineers practise regulated breathing. Similarly, Krishn teaches Praanaayaam to enable practisers to climb upwards in the rarefied atmosphere of spirituality. Equality is the Acropolis where different streets of Yogic practices converge. Attaining Yog through meditation is like operating a bank locker. Its customer, the meditator, holds the first key of relentless practice. Banker, the God, applies His key and opens the locker only after the customer applies his key properly. An expert tennis player practises same shot repeatedly to make his muscles memorize it, and respond accurately in real play. A Yogee should similarly keep his body, mind and soul fit. A spark ignites a firecracker that causes more fireworks. Similarly, every spark of Sakaam Karm generates a chain of reactions. We must extinguish such sparks with water of self-control."

Published on the occasion of the art exhibition Screen Time: Photography and Video Art in the Internet Age, this catalog features a selection of leading international artists who engage with and critique the role of media in contemporary society. Their work demonstrates what has become known as post-internet artistic practices—art that may or may not be made for the internet but nevertheless acknowledges online culture as an omnipresent influence, inseparable from contemporary social conditions. They ask what it means to be a photographer when everyone is an Instagram influencer; what it means to make video art when everyone is a TikTok video star; and how to deliver meaningful social commentary in the age of the meme. The exhibition and accompanying catalog showcase artwork by N. Dash, Nathalie Djurberg, Marcel Dzama, Peter Funch, Cyrus Kabiru, William Kentridge, Christian Marclay, Marilyn Minter, Vik Muniz, Otobong Nkanga, Erwin Olaf, Robin Rhode, Vee Speers, Mary Sue, Puck Verkade, Huang Yan. Published by Bucknell University Press for the Samek Art Museum. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Generation Z (Gen Z) is the young generation born between the mid-1990s and 2010s. They are now entering the market and starting their first jobs. Therefore, managers must shape the company workplace environment to encourage young employees to work efficiently and connect their future with the company. Only then will both managers and employees share mutual satisfaction from collaboration and aim at the common target, which should be the prosperity of the company. This book presents research results and techniques for analysing the working expectations and needs of Gen Z. The analyses were made in various countries in Europe: The Czech Republic, Latvia, Poland, and Portugal. The book contains chapters that present the analysis results and technical chapters that outline modern methods of analysis of management data, including tutorial chapters on machine learning, which currently makes a strong appearance in research in various disciplines. This volume will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of management studies, research methods, and human resource management.
