Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 13, text 08
Most of us in our lives feel that we don’t get what we deserve. Looking for some recognition and interchange of emotions is a comprehensible human desire,
But,
just because a particular desire or longing can be easily understood, doesn’t guarantees that it will be fulfilled because this world is often an uncaring place.
If we expect recognition from people who doesn’t seem to care for us, we make ourselves dependent on the things that are beyond our control thereby disempowering ourselves.
For example: We may have worked day and night to crack project deal very important for the growth of our company, yet our efforts may have not been fully appreciated by our team or bosses.
In the same way, in other areas of life, we may feel undervalued or under-recognized.
How, then, can we get the motivation to continue doing our part even in the most difficult times or a place where you don’t get what you deserve?
By developing humility, which according to Bhagavad Gita(13.08), is the beginning of knowledge.
Humility, helps us to remember our purpose and identity.
Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 15, Text 07, explains, that we are souls and are meant to serve the Whole, which is Krishna.
When we develop our connection with Krishna by start working in a mode to serve him, we gain an inner stability thereby decreasing our desires for worldly recognition and reciprocation.
In fact, when we connect with Supreme Personality of Godhead, he gives us inner guidance to beer understand ourselves as well as others.
Therefore,
- We can seek like minded association, wherein we can be understood, valued and appreciated.
- Gaining that strength, we can better work with unlike-minded people, whenever there is a need to do so.
How does focusing on how we can serve empowers us?
When we focus on how can we serve the whole and various parts of the whole, we start enjoying the joy of living with a positive service attitude.
When our life becomes empowered with such inner fulfillment, we get surprised with our ability to continue working even in the most difficult situations and we make significant contributions irrespective of whether our efforts are appreciated or not.
