Lord Krishna’s “Gyan Yog” V/s “No Rule Rules” of Reed Hastings.

Dear Fellow Travelers,

Namaste! Thanks to my Master's, I am blessed with a 360-degree view of various concepts. I can link learning in one field to learning in other fields and connect the dots. While I was really impressed with the simplicity of Reed Hastings in running a big corporation, Lord Krishan was a step ahead of him in all the respects.

My Master always says – All Buddhas come before time. The same is applicable to Lord Krishna. He was ahead of his time by 5000 years. He talked about Gyan Yog in the second chapter only. But you will get the most of the commentaries on Gita from Karma / Bhakti / Sanyas' point of view only. even Arjun failed to understand the same and he kept on discussing with Krishna. So, Krishna talked about Karma / Bhakti and Sanyas yog.   

Only BUDDHA talked about GYAN YOG. Unfortunately, his religion was removed by our pandits and today other countries have major buddha followers compared to India.  

Gyan Yog: - It is the most advanced concept and as long as it was not seen in practice, most people found it difficult to understand it in the right perspective. In technology-driven time – most people have to align themselves with Gyan Yog practice to be successful and to stay successful.

Reed Hastings has picked up the same in the right perspective. When he says he is looking for people who are - SELF MOTIVATING / SELF IMPROVING / SELF AWARE / SELF DISCIPLINED / ACT LIKE a Leader / Doesn’t want to be told what to do / Picks up the trash lying on the Floor. 

Why Krishna is much advanced to Reed?

Reed wants to play to win. Though he has talked about SELF AWARE and BLA, BLA, BLA – he wants to win. His mistake is – a SELF AWARE person will not play to win. His playing with awareness is the best reward for him.

Krishna says – you be aware and play. There is no better reward than playing it with awareness. 99.99% of the guys fail to understand this simple thing. That’s why GYAN YOG is difficult for the masses.

Krishna says – you play is the best reward. A person with a Krishna mindset will be always happy. Reed wants it something more out of his playing. So, his employees will be frustrated someday – when they do not get the results. So, though he uses word awareness – they are not aware of the practice.

How REED is better than the most?

In a knowledge-based industry – Reed is a pioneer with NO RULES. He has come out with MASTER STRATEGY. I don’t want to blame him for not following Krishna, because he might not have heard His name or read his GITA. But, without reading GITA – what he is doing is excellent.

Buffett is a real follower of GITA. He buys shares with awareness and he is okay – if the market closes for 10 years after his purchase.

What NEXT?

Whatever you may be doing. Just analyze yourself and decide how many of the following qualities you have - SELF MOTIVATING / SELF IMPROVING / SELF AWARE / SELF DISCIPLINED / ACT LIKE a Leader / Doesn’t want to be told what to do / Picks up the trash lying on the Floor. 

If you have to be TOLD / REMIND or CONVINCE by outside people for your betterment – you must be lacking some of the above qualities. To that extent – you will not be able to follow GYAN YOG.

Gyan Yoga is the recipe for success in the current time. If you are lacking in that – it means you will not be happy in current times.

Wish you all a Happy Investing Experience.
