When More Is Less
Yoga and Total Health
|January 2023
Are we fooling ourselves with New Year's resolutions?
Talk about the New Year and what invariably comes up are New Year's resolutions. We may have many, few or none but a new year is surely the time to reflect on the year that was and chart a course for the year ahead. So far, so good. Trouble brews when, in our enthusiasm, we set goals not only for ourselves but for those around us too.
"Your life could be so much better, why don't you..." and there we go, dispensing advice. "You have so many talents, why are you wasting them in...?" There we go, criticising someone's job or lifestyle. And the favorite - "You have so much going for you, how come you are single? Let me introduce you to...." Sounds familiar?

भगवद्गीता से सीख: असली जीवन ही श्रेष्ठ है।
हमारी देश की संस्कृति में अनेक गुणों का, जीवन मूल्यों का वर्णन किया गया है जिनसे हम एक अच्छा, सच्चा और कुशल जीवन व्यतीत कर सकते हैं। इनका पालन करने के अनेक मार्ग भी हमारे सामने रखे गए हैं। और कई लोग ऐसे होते भी हैं जो पूरे मन से इन मूल्यों को मानते हैं। लेकिन कुछ लोग ऐसे भी होते हैं जो इन मूल्यों को दिल से मानने की जगह बस मानने का दिखावा कर रहे होते हैं। आइए देखते हैं कि ऐसे दिखावटी व्यवहार के बारे में श्रीकृष्ण क्या कहते हैं।
