The Strategy for Beating Life’s Battle
According to Vivekananda, ‘the human race will never again see such a brain as his who wrote the Gita’ (Complete Works, 7. 22). The Gita is a spiritual treatise intended for all of humanity, and this book, the second in a series, attempts to contrast its timeless wisdom with the viewpoints of contemporary behavioral science.
For instance, proponents of motivation theories question how a strategy like NATO, which is not dependent on the outcome, could be successful in any endeavor. They debate whether there is any damage in performing karma with a specific goal. The response is that any karma must be fully focused on in order for it to fructify; otherwise, the energy (from the process) will be lost, and only a subpar result will be produced. In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, ‘Full effort is full victory.’ The key to life, according to Swami Vivekananda, is paying attention to the means. This timeless life fact is explained in the first chapter of the current book.
A few novel ideas have been offered by the author, such as ‘heady and hearty, man becomes humane, ‘ and a ‘torso attitude’ that ‘supersedes the head and heart, ‘ inverting a person’s vertical stance to place his tummy and sex at the top and overturning his priorities in life.
