TO DO or NOT TO DO

Arjuna floundered on the battlefield…
But Krishna was by his side
to point him in the right direction…
ALL ARE NOT SO BLESSED…
most have no advisers…
OR they are not dependable.
To take correct decisions…
first be clear and know your identity.
SUPPOSE: The boss asks you to do
something morally incorrect
What should you do?
One thought may be:
He is my boss I am only a SUBORDINATE…
Why should I think?
He has asked me…so I will do.
Another thought may be:
If I resist…my boss will…
appraise me poorly…even sack me
I am a HOUSEHOLDER with
Family…loans…EMIs…
What is YOUR identity?
Subordinate? Householder?
If you think:
I am a SUBORDINATE…a HOUSEHOLDER
Then you will do as ordered.
However IF YOU identify with…I am:
 a responsible citizen
 a spiritual seeker
Then you will not do a wrong action
even if it costs you the job.

The action will depend on:
 Understanding…maturity…identity
 Clarity of right versus wrong
 Readiness to learn from experience
IF there is Total Confusion…
With sincerety seek the Lord…Ask for HIS Guidance…
He will never fail us…
From where He is seated in our hearts…
HE will always gives right counsel…
