Equipoise means Stithapragna, a
state of mind by which every
human being should perform his/her duties in this
mundane world without expecting anything in return. The essence of Gita is based on three cardinal principles, Samskara, Freedom of mind and non-attachment. Always
thinking of good and doing good is Samskara. Freedom of mind leads us to freedom of intellect which in turn
helps us think of higher values of life. When we live in this sinful
world, we remain untouched by sin if we live with unattachment.
The article emphasizes the importance of equipoise to
modern management leaders and its relevance in current business
situations through an interesting conversation between a son and a father.
The present day youth is always over confident by displaying
a "Know_all" attitude. This is about Ashwin, just turned 24 and out
of his MBA joined a multinational company based at Mumbai. He
comes to Chennai on a week's leave to be with his parents. His dad is
currently employed as a full-time professor at a leading business school after
having worked for more than 35 years. He engages in social and
spiritual activities during his spare time with the main objective of repaying
his gratitude to the society in return for what he got from the society.
