Life Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita

The guidance Lord Krishna gave to Arjuna just before the Mahabharata war began is known as the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. The Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is not just a Hindu holy book but also a life lesson from Lord Krishna. When we encounter a challenging situation in life, those words are just as crucial in guiding us just as they were for Arjun during the Mahabharata war. It belongs to the Mahabharata’s Bhishma Parva and it has 700 verses and 18 chapters. Let’s take a look at the Bhagavad Gita life lessons to put your life on the correct path.

1 — Doubt is not good every time.

For the person who is constantly doubting, happiness does not exist in this world or anyplace else.

2 — Manage and control your mind.

For those who cannot manage their minds, it works like an enemy.

3 — Your thoughts are your friend and enemy.

Every man can touch the heights with their thoughts and can even make themselves fall — because every person is their own friend and enemy.

4 — Great person is not great by birth.

A person does not become great by birth, but rather by his deeds.

5 — Trouble makes you stronger.

6 — Happiness and sadness are just like the weather.

Just as the weather changes on the earth, so does the happiness and sadness in life.

8 — Everyone has to face karma.

Karma is the crop that everyone has to reap at any cost, so always sow good seeds so that the crop is good.

9 — Don’t give excuses and run for your challenges.
