Metals and Minerals Trading Corporation of India during its Vigilance Awareness Week invited Swami Prakarshananda to deliver a talk on ‘Ethics In Life’ on 1st November 2017.
Swamiji systematically explained how we should look at life as a whole and not as a part. Our life is nothing but a series of experiences gained through past actions. Constant flow of desires pushes us all the time to perform some or the other actions. The quality of desire determines the quality of action and these desires develop through varied exposures of day to day life. It is therefore, our responsibility to keep a constant watch on our thoughts and desires. We should remain vigilant every moment.
Quoting from the Bhagwad Geeta, Swamiji further explained that our mind is our best friend and our mind itself is our worst enemy. So a cultured mind needs to be groomed and nurtured with the everlasting values of – truthfulness, honesty, sincerity and dutifulness.
The younger generation is constantly on the lookout for ideals in society. So it becomes imperative to constantly introspect, to remain vigilant while acting and develop the virtues of life to present the perfect ideal for society to follow.
