Happiness isn’t about ignoring reality. Life is full of challenges and struggles for justice. We often aim for specific results with our actions, but sometimes things don’t go as planned. For instance, a kind gesture might be met with ingratitude, leading to disappointment.
So, how do we find happiness? The Bhagavad Gita, a profound Hindu text delivered on a battlefield, offers a solution:
"You have a right to perform your duty, but not to the fruits of your actions; never be attached to the results, but don't become inactive." (Gita 2.47)
This insightful teaching encourages us to focus on our duties without being overly concerned about the results. It doesn't mean acting recklessly; instead, it emphasizes performing our prescribed duties with dedication. Success or failure shouldn't dictate our happiness.
Unmet desires are often the root of unhappiness. The Gita advises against indifference to outcomes, but rather advocates giving our best effort. If results differ from our expectations, we should have faith.
Interestingly, this lesson on detachment takes place in the Mahabharata, during a battle between relatives. Arjuna hesitates to fight against his kin, but Krishna tells him that it’s his duty. Although the reward is a kingdom, Krishna underscores fighting without attachment to the outcome.
This philosophy is profound. Attachment breeds uncertainty, worry, and tension. Psychologically, detachment from results can improve our performance, as excessive worry often hinders us.
In essence, embracing non-attachment fosters a happier and more peaceful life. Focus on your duties, trust in the process, and be happy!
