The Modern Krishna!

There isn’t the least bit of an error in accepting the insignificance of putting in an effort. Bring me a person who appreciates hard work and I’ll find you one who will systematically break his spirit. Like every chemical reaction, every action has an initiator molecule. Every action has a reason behind it, a purpose, so to speak. An act is always a product of self or a second-party motivation. There are no subtleties here. Just plain, blind conscious. You act on accord of a certain reward, a prize, like a carrot hung in front of a donkey. There are in so many cases, sacrifices and compromises which act as hurdles. Priorities are decided, sides are taken and the ones still greedy enough continue to tread along the road that is, sheer hard work. It may be anything ranging from your job, to a relationship, to your familial duties, to attract attention and BLAH BLAH BBB---LLLLAAAAHH!!!! But what if I was to say that all this would not amount to anything? There is no clear-cut boundary of a reward to a work done. Under-appreciation is a part of our Karma. When was the last time you looked up to the one responsible and told him how well he was doing? This is when Motivation is cold-bloodedly murdered. It affects the entire reaction and you lose a hard working candidate who would’ve proved to be fruitful otherwise. It’s a really pathetic scene when you find yourselves dealt with nothing when all that’s needed is a small pat on the back or a token of acknowledgement. You lack an attitude for gratitude. Unfortunately, there is a huge lack of realization and you are left wondering most of times where you went wrong. Occam’s razor – the simplest, most obvious explanation is usually correct. You failed to identify the obvious. And now face the results.
You have been raised in a world where the very foundation of your beliefs incorporates the age old truth – Karma kar, fal ki chinta mat kar.
I would love a tougher generation to grow up believing in the following words – Karma kar, fal ki chinta mat kar. Fal milne bhi nahi wala.
