The Geeta tells us that we need to balance the three qualities. Performing tasks with a satvik (pure) nature may
initially bring less pleasure, so it is important to enhance the pleasure derived from those tasks, particularly in
the context of studying. Discover the most productive time of day, understanding one’s learning style (such as
auditory, visual, or kinesthetic), and engaging more in activities aligned with that style can increase pleasure
and motivation.

Last but not least is how we handle failure if we get marks that are less than our expectations. The
education system doesn’t teach us this skill. People think that there is a direct relationship between the efforts
you put in and the results you get. The more you put in the effort, the better will be results but this is not the
truth. Some people are very good at maths, some people find it very easy to learn new languages, some people
can mug up stuff and get good marks. These people may get a good result with less effort but unfortunately, we
live in such a world where comparison always demoralizes us. Shri Krishna told Arjuna “Results don’t depend
on your efforts alone but they depend on many things that are not in your control”. So don’t work only for a
particular result, work for the right reasons. Work hard because it is the only way to move forward.

In the 18 chapters of the Bhagavad Gita, Shri Krishna has given Arjuna 84 secrets to a good life.
All this knowledge from the Bhagavad Gita has been teaching our kings the secrets of success and has given
them lessons on how to deal with failure. Today we can definitely learn from the Geeta that the future is defined
by our actions, not by our circumstances and we get the fruit of our actions sometime or other.
