Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 HARI AUM 'Performance anxiety' is wrecking human lives like it did never in the history of human civilisation. It was certainly dominant among those who ran kingdoms in days of yore. As society is flattened it has also seeped down and got mixed with the commoners. Life in general has become too evaluative and all compensations are calibrated to performance. When this happens even simple ordinary existence for survival too are pressured and challenged by performance evaluations. The recent UID initiative lead by Nandan Nilekani is going to speed up the 'performance monitoring' even to the last man standing in the economic order. None will be spared and the 'anxiety' is going to kill more people than any wars people fought throughout the history across the globe. Future generations will find it not just difficult but unbearable. Untold pain and agony will be the norm. The only way to save oneself from the calamitous onslaughts of this unavoidable monster is to get prepared to ride it over. Inspite of hundreds of experts shelling out ways and means to enhance 'performance', the 'anxiety' part is only adding with more of agonising pain. The 'preparation' is very extensively and exhaustively covered by 'him' in his 'Bhagavad Gita'. In short with the 'anxiety' part removed, Arjuna went on and did his 'dharma' appropriately, appreciatively and successfully. He lived long happy years and attained liberation.
