In a training program for young officers in a company, a white sheet with ten questions were given. Some were tricky English and Maths puzzles and others were general knowledge based. The participants were supposed to answer them in ten minutes. But on top of the question paper, a strange instruction was given: Just write your name and sit quietly. But everybody was racing to win the game without reading that instruction.
In a world filled with chaos and constant distractions, finding balance is essential to leading a fulfilling life. Similar to how we read a manual before operating a machine, we must first learn the principles of yoga and spirituality to achieve a harmonious existence.

कर्तव्य की भावना से कार्य में उत्कृष्ठता (excellence)
क ई तरह की व्यवस्थाएँ हैं, जो हमें सचेत करती हैं कि हमें क्या करना है। माता-पिता, समाज, कानून आदि के प्रति हमारे कुछ उत्तरदायित्व होते हैं, कर्तव्य व व्यवहार के कुछ नियम होते हैं जिनका हमें पूर्ण रूप से पालन करना होता है, परन्तु बहुत से लोग अपने कर्तव्यों के प्रति लापरवाह होते हैं, उन्हें अपने कर्तव्य पालन करना पसंद नहीं है ।
