NIRVANA

Nirvana


Few days back, I was going through Bhagwad Gita. The book is like a sea of knowledge. The first and foremost thing I understood from that book was one can not destroy the soul. After death, the soul leaves the old body and finds a new one as per his/her deeds in his/her past life.
As my favorite readers know about me, I am a bit illogically challenged. I look for logic and correlation in everything. I was just lying back on my office chair and was trying to relate the lessons learned from Bhagwad Gita to the job life we are “suffering” from.

Let us understand the concept of a new job / first job.
What is it?
Can’t we say that it is a new birth?
There are training sessions at your new job, induction sessions to train you about the new world you are in. Sometimes, a fresh college graduate also has motherly feelings for his trainer. The trainer shows him the path of Karma and enlightens him about the only god in his world – THE BOSS.

Every job comes from the BOSS. Every job is reported back to the BOSS. You work as the BOSS wants you to work. Your leaves are approved by the BOSS. Sometimes, chill out sessions are also arranged by the BOSS but they are always followed by “AGNI – PARIKHSHA”. There will be lot many senior managers, deputy managers, senior supervisors etc. But as a fresher, you have to worship the ultimate god – THE BOSS and you are in the good books.

In the first job, the “subject” goes through various tests, looks by various opportunities, makes several decisions, and puts all his efforts in his Karma to please the ultimate. As Gita says, we should not worry about the fruits and shall continue with Karma. Same goes by the boss: Don’t go by the increment you get at the end of the year. Continue your good work and you will achieve Nirvana.

As the time flies, the “subject” grows old in the organization. He has worked in all the functions and has done good Karmas in each function. Now the time comes and he leaves the company. His life in the first job is over.

Now as mentioned in previous paragraphs, a soul never dies. It just changes its body from one to another. Similarly the “subject” has now switched job. His past deeds, i.e. his experience in the past jobs helps decides the opportunity for his new job. If he has not done justice to his life in the previous birth (or) if he has not added various skills in his resume in his previous job, a new job with better opportunities become impossible for him.

Hence the subject gets the job as per his past deeds. He is again trained and inducted in his / her new job. Once again he looks for the ultimate god and finds out that “THE BOSS” is the only one who plays all the cards for the subject. The life of the “subject” always goes through a vicious cycle.

From the above correlations and analogies, I am again convinced that Change is Permanent and God is one.
