What Goes Around, Comes Around Too.

I remember the line from Bhagavad Gita which roughly goes like this, “Why do you lament over something that was never yours. You have not created anything nor are you going to own it forever. Something that is yours today was somebody else's yesterday, and is going to be somebody else's tomorrow. You have not brought anything into this world and nor are you going to take away anything from it.”

Despite, this a human being gets grappled by so many perceptions and misconceptions. He begins to believe that he has the power to govern over people and change their destiny. What he forgets is that he is only humiliating himself when he humiliates someone. This is because the moment you mistreat someone you have lost their respect.

Success can be achieved by anyone. But, handling success is what only a few people can do effectively. The true power is when you are humble despite being powerful.

You can win a person temporarily with fear, but to win him over for life you need to win him with humility and love. You greatness is not when you are humble in weakness, but rather it is in being humble when you are strong and powerful.

You should never underestimate the importance of the weak and the frail. Even a mouse can save the life of a lion , or the ant of a swan. Life has no certainty. The person who reports to us today could become our boss in the coming years. But, you should never have this as a sole criteria for treating someone with respect. Respect and a sense of doing good to others should come from within. Until and unless you feel that way, you cannot respect others because it will immediately show in your body language. The beauty lies in feeling the urge to do good to others or treat them well from deep within. Then, and only then, will you enjoy it and feel good as well. If you don't, then you will only end-up feeling more irritated and malicious towards other person.

”If you cannot create something, then don't try to destroy it too.” If you cannot do any good to someone at least make it a point that you don't do any bad to him. Life is very unforgiving. It keeps testing you time and again at each step. What goes around comes around too. You will also get the taste of your actions at some point of time in life.

No one is born good or bad. Every one was created equal by God and therefore one cannot be created as a bad human being. It is our experiences which mold our behaviour. Our up-brining also plays an instrumental role in shaping us as a person. Based on these, being good may come naturally to some, while to some it may take some conscious efforts. But, if you practice this persistently and consistently. Each one of us can surely make a difference in the way we treat others. After all, it's just a matter of making few conscious efforts until it becomes a habit, and begins happen naturally.
