Witty Bhagyashree
The Bhagavad Gita, or the Gita, is the discourse that takes place between Lord Krishna and Arjun before the start of the Kurukshetra war. The teachings by Lord Krishna helped to change Arjun’s perspective about life and, thus, his life path. While the Gita is many centuries old, the logic and knowledge inherent in its every word make it a timeless guide. Here are 9 life lessons that we can learn from these Bhagavad Gita quotes.
1) We should do our work without worrying about its result
When we work for getting fruits or the result from a particular action, we can’t really be our best in it. It also gives us a lot of worries about the result. We may also feel disheartened if our task or action does not yield good outputs. Therefore, just doing our work without really thinking about its result should be our motive.
2) The soul is immortal and our body is perishable Our soul never dies
Our soul never dies. Even after our death, it exists. It is immortal. It just changes bodies after the death of a person. Moreover, our body is made up of ‘Agni’ (fire), ‘Jal’ (water), ’Vayu’ (wind), ‘Prithvi’ (earth) and it combines with them after the death. So we should not pay a lot of attention towards our outer body but instead should work for the inner soul, its satisfaction.
3) The world is perishable and whoever comes to this world surely has to go one day
This world is not immortal. One who takes birth dies one day and that is the ultimate truth of this world. Nothing exists permanently. One has to leave this world, even though he wishes not to. No magic can actually help a person to stay forever. Everyone has their set life periods. They vanish after completing them. No matter how great one is or how much power one posses, all have to die one day. This is one of the most important lessons from Bhagavad Gita Quotes.

4) Whatever happened was good, whatever is happening is good and what all will happen in the future will be good
We should not repent of our past or worry about the future as the present is going on. We should know that God has planned everything for us. He will not let anything bad happen to us. Whatever happens, is for our good only. We should be optimistic and should not stress our self with these baseless worries of the past and future. If things are not favorable, they surely would be. Just have faith in the supreme personality of Godhead.
5) Progress and development are the rules of this universe
Things may not be the same, the way they used to be. Things and circumstances change. We should neither expect people, nor surroundings, not even society to be the same. They all change with time. We move ahead. Universe forgets old things and moves forward, so do we? We should not stick to one point; this will make our existence much more problematic in this world.
6) We did not bring anything to this world; neither we going to take anything
We came to this world empty-handed. We have made everything over here, be it relations, money, love or respect. We cannot take anything with us when we die. Everything would be leftover here. So we should not really do evil things when it comes to the question of our respect. Nor should we be really concerned about making as much money as possible. We should be satisfied with what we have as everything would be left over here in this material world, we won’t be able to take anything with us.
7) Thoughts about big or small, your or mine should be kept out
We should not think about how big or small we can really make things. All this is materialistic and engages people in tensions and greedy activities. It makes one profit-oriented. Thinking about yours or mine also does the same. All the life we make and collect things for ourselves. This really doesn’t make a difference when we leave this world. We all are turned into ashes after death.
8) Money mind cannot meditate
Bhagavad Gita talks a lot about meditation and its importance. Meditation is considered extremely helpful for inner peace and ‘sadhna’. Moreover, a person who thinks about making money all the time cannot really engage in meditation. When a person’s mind is not stable and he or she thinks only about money, then meditation would be a failed effort for such a person. This message from the Bhagavad Gita Quotes makes a mark for those who always run after money forgetting the inner peace.
9) Desires come and go
Desires come and go, but you should remain a dispassionate witness, simply watching and enjoying the show. Everyone experiences, desires but one should not be moved by them. They should not bother a person. People sometimes undertake really evil actions because of their desires.
