Janmashtami: Lessons from Lord Krishna

By Anujj Trehaan

1

Karma

Krishna says, "Do your duty and be detached from its outcome, do not be driven by the end product, enjoy the process of getting there." So perform your task nicely and forget the rest.

2

Mindfulness

Lord Krishna urges people to practice mindfulness i.e. to live in the present moment and not worry unnecessarily about what the future has in store for you. Meditation and yoga can help.

3

Sacrifice

Lord Krishna says that there isn't any achievement without sacrificing. If you don't sacrifice your ego, pride, lust, and comfort zone, you won't achieve your highest levels of success.

4

Surrender

The Lord asks you to identify yourself as a soul (spirituality) and not a body (materialism). He also asks people to surrender to him and free themselves from all worries.

5

Acceptance

Lord Krishna says that everything happens for a cause or a good reason. He says that one should not cry over what happens or stress themselves by trying to control involuntary situations.
