Gita-Chapter-2:- Make Self-Awareness Your First Priority

 

 Lesson: 

Krishna is making Arjun think more about the inner 'self'. Through that, Arjun's thoughts stop running around uselessly. He is able to direct his life-force in a constructive manner, both towards fighting the war of justice externally, and realizing his inner reality spiritually. It is key for leaders to focus internally, as that purifies and empowers the consciousness: one does not waste energy on useless anxieties and thoughts. One is able to go past fear and mental obstacles, and do what needs to be done as a leader with more awareness and wisdom. This is important especially during crisis situations or tough times. It is a secret of charismatic and highly effective leadership. Internalization and self-knowledge are the bedrock of the Gita's leadership and success lessons.
