Describe ways in which you feel like Arjuna.

The other day all I wanted to do was sleep so after getting up from a nap seemed  the end of the world, although later after hanging out with a few friends I was so glad I didn’t just keep sleeping. Similarly Arjuna had a huge internal decision to make when he had to make the choice to fight his kinsmen.

How could you specifically apply the message of the Bhagavad Gita?

Specifically trying to apply the Bhagavad Gita to this scenario, I would say it was my duty to keep a promise of hanging out like I originally planned to do.

How would the ancient Indian perspective of the Bhagavad Gita be VERY different than the 21st Century American perspective of doing one’s duty? 

I think that the 21st century doesn’t really follow to closely on a belief system like the Bhagavad Gita, it is less about being the best them they could be and more about what is good for me right now.

Now, venture back to ancient India. Think of a way the Bhagavad Gita could be used as a tool of oppression

The hierarchy and social classes involved in the Bhagavad Gita could potentially lead higher ups to oppress their servants into acting better in order to be reincarnated.

During the walk I felt that I was curios to see where the path led, since it wasn’t my first time on the path but was my first time really taking in my surroundings. Usually I am running a race or  having a hard practice so I was able to really just chill as I took my time going through it. I heard a lot things that I don’t usually pay attention to for example I heard birds, squirrels in the brush, and leaves crackling under my feet. The air didn’t have a smell but it was crisp to breathe in. I mostly thought about the things I had to do or wanted to do. Also some people I would like to go walking with. The walk was calming and stress relieving because I was able to just calm down and not think of anything. I think it related to Taoism in the fact that with out any distraction or some outside forces I could just focus on myself and find a certain serenity.

I chose to fung shui my Google drive to increase my flow of chi. In the future I can decrease the stress  of not being able to find papers I need. I feel it worked because now  I fret when when  someone  asks me to find something. I used  4 out of the 5 elements to fung shui my drive: water, wood, metal, and earth. The most obvious was water it’s so relaxing to be able to just find what I need. Next was earth, it created a stable and reliable way to store my papers. It honors the self, career,and work block of the bagua. Now I can start to focus more on my work rather than finding it later.
