Read the Manual Then Operate the Machine

Achieving balance in today's complex life

- Shri TS Karthik

In a training program for young officers in a company, a white sheet with ten questions were given. Some were tricky English and Maths puzzles and others were general knowledge based. The participants were supposed to answer them in ten minutes. But on top of the question paper, a strange instruction was given: Just write your name and sit quietly. But everybody was racing to win the game without reading that instruction.

In a world filled with chaos and constant distractions, finding balance is essential to leading a fulfilling life. Similar to how we read a manual before operating a machine, we must first learn the principles of yoga and spirituality to achieve a harmonious existence.
