Thread on "Suppose your whole life you tried to pursue you dream project. But your dream project remains incomplete.
Then what? Will your energy of all these years go in waste?"
1) This question is answered somewhere in Bhagvad Gita.
2/ Arjuna campers such life of unfinished missions as "Cloud which started from sea but did not reach the place were it had to pour rain. In the midway, the cloud is disbursed and lost."
"So what will be the fate of such a cloud?" asked Arjuna.
3/ Krisna replied, "Nothing is lost in this Universe. If a person starts his life mission but for some reason he is unable to complete his mission in this birth, than his work will be carried forward with him in his next birth".
Now take example of Galileo.
4/ Galileo discovered many things about how Earth rotates round the Earth. He could not complete his exploration of Universe during his life..
Then Newton came and carried forward from he has left.
5/ Newton also wrote that whatever he had learned, has learned because of discoveries in past.
The Krishna said, "Nothing will be lost. Keep doing your project work even if there is little chance of it being fulfilled in your this birth. It will be credited to your next birth.
6/ The basic teaching in Gita is to liberate mind which keeps producing excuses for not to keep fighting on.
Bhakti (Life of total devotion to Superior Powers of Universe) also requires a fight against temptations and distractions.
Krishna says, "Stay the Course".

Thread on "Why bad things keep happening to people?".
1) Many good people keep wondering why bad things continue to keep happenning to them though they have done nothing wrong. They wonder why destiny is so hard on them though they are always doing good things?"
2/ In sixteenth century a lawyer and philosopher wrote a short novel titled "Zadig" centred around theme why bad things keep happening to good people.
The novel shows how bad things continued to happen to Zadig though he was a well read and wise man.

3/ If he is debtor and if Creditor has filed FIR, his fear increases. He fears that police will call him to police station and will force him to sign a settlement and will force him to give post dated cheques.
Thread on Ideal Ways of Living Life as Discussed in Bhagwad Gita.
1/ Large number of people believe in living life passively. Everything happens as per Will of God. Hence they are supposed to live as witnesses. They see no purpose in living life aggressively pursuing goals.
2/ They work that which is necessary for their survival and protection. They have no plans beyond that.
Then there is large number of people who love life in pursuit of knowledge. They pursue degrees. They make new discoveries in science and other fields.
They are scholars.
3/ It is better to live in pursuit of knowledge than to live passively as witnesses or travellers in this world.
But there is a third way which is better than the above two paths.
That is, Living Proactively or Living as per a plan or Living as per Niskam Karmayoga.
2/ One meaning of word "Advocate" is "To speak on behalf of others".
And legal system is designed as "Adversial System".
Two parties are supposed to strongly argue on behalf of their clients and in this contested atmosphere, a Judge is supposed to give a balanced Judgement.
3/ When an advocate is arguing for prosecution, he is not supposed to speak on favourable points for accused.
When advocate is arguing for criminal, he is not supposed to speak in favour of prosecutor.
