Purpose and Duty (Dharma) Each individual has a unique purpose in life (Dharma). As a student, your primary duty is to focus on learning and self-development. The Gita emphasizes that by fulfilling one’s duty sincerely, success will follow.
Focus on the Effort, Not the Outcome You have a right to perform your duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions.” (Gita 2.47) This teaches students to concentrate on the work at hand without being obsessed with results like grades or recognition.
Self-Discipline and Control The Bhagavad Gita encourages mastery over the senses and the mind, teaching that self-discipline is key to achieving any goal.
Managing Stress and Anxiety Arjuna, in the Gita, faces immense anxiety before battle. Lord Krishna teaches him to approach challenges with equanimity and inner calm.
Overcoming Doubts and Fear The Gita addresses Arjuna’s doubts about his abilities and teaches that doubt weakens action. Facing fear head-on with courage and faith is the path to success.
Balance (Yoga) in Life The concept of Yoga in the Gita doesn’t just refer to physical postures but also to mental balance. Yoga is the art of balancing action and rest, knowledge and application.
Detachment from Failures and Successes The Gita teaches non-attachment to the outcome. Whether it’s success or failure, remain detached, as both are temporary and part of the learning process.
Continuous Learning and Adaptation Knowledge and wisdom in the Gita are seen as lifelong pursuits. Just as Arjuna constantly learns from Krishna, students should adopt a mindset of continuous learning.
