Passive & Aggressive People

I am influenced by the simple talks of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, i would like to share one. His talks enlighten you instantly.

He says there are two types of people in the world - those who are passive and those who are aggressive. Aggressive people do not achieve much. For that matter, passive people also do not achieve much!!
It is easier to be aggressive or passive...and this is what has been happening in our country. There are people who are very passive -who don't do anything, who don't get involved in anything, and there are people who are very aggressive- they do anything(legal, illegal,right, wrong) to achieve whatever they want. Sooner or later both find their hands empty- both feel failure.

Then Sri Sri is elaborating on Gita....What is the Gita about? Is it passive or does it instigate one to be aggressive.

The answer is , It does neither of the two!! The Gita says: " Dynamism with calmness" . Dynamism with calmness is worth having in our lives. The serenity, which is proactive, is what is needed; it is what would be the right solution to any problem.

In very simple way he explains the essence of life to people.

Excellant views. What a profound thought of dynamism with calmness. BEcause if u are not calm inside u gets easily frustated, distracted, loose temper todo what u want to do. He has also ex[ressed views that a profound piece of knowledge, Bhagwad Gita was delivered by Lord Krishna to Arjun not in the state of relaxed atmosphere like in ashram but on the battle field. we really need to inculcate these views.
