Listen "Reflections on Ch 2 - Manu"
Episode Synopsis
Manu
----
2.47 -
When we read only the first part, we miss the whole point.
We need to understand that inaction is NOT a choice.
We tend to live either in future or in the past - emotions are tied to future; we imagine things going wrong; causes lots of angst in present. Or we think of past good times and not enjoy the present.
We are in a strange jacket.
Understanding the whole sloka is important: past is dead, future is not yet born and we are wasting our present by living in either.
Not expecting specific outcome does not mean not doing anything.
Actions cannot be tied to results. Breaking that connection makes us focus on the work.
And also taking the responsibility impacts the future.
