PHOENIX PHENOMENON

Lord Krsna says to Arjun in Bhagvad Gita “O Son of Kunti, the non-permanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception scion of Bharata and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.” Bhagvad Gita 2.14             

“It’s all the perception” she thought after reading this shloka from Bhagvad Gita. So she shed down all the fear of slander and resuscitated herself like the Phoenix Bird.

The things started to look bright again. She signed the deal with one of the premier institute and regained back the name of her institute. Further, she joined the religious society and took the oath of renunciation. She cut short her expenses and with the savings and a bank loan took a big land which is now her full fledged coaching institute and in couple of years she again sweep the whole trade.

In the end, if you question her how she could manage to do this magnanimous job single handed. “Oh! Because Krsna says, it’s all in perception.”
