Debashis’s Recent Updates

One Minute Wisdom by Debashis Chatterjee
“Success comes when we calm down and let our mind do what we already know how to do.”
Debashis Chatterjee
Can You Teach A Zebra Some Algebra? by Debashis Chatterjee
“There is a difference between a learned man and a man of learning. A learned man is tied to the knowledge of the past. A man of learning is curious about the present. A learned man is bent over with dead wood of knowledge, like an aging tree. A man of learning is vibrant and inquisitive, like a green twig breaking out of the soil after the rains”
Debashis Chatterjee
Karma Sutras  by Debashis Chatterjee
“Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. (Gibran 1970)”

“Both the divine and the devil can sit together within a human being.”
Debashis Chatterjee, Invincible Arjuna

“To win in the battles of life, a hero needs to constantly focus on the goal rather than on the obstacles in his path.”
Debashis Chatterjee, Invincible Arjuna

“All actions, Arjuna, are performed by Prakriti, the modes of Nature.
The ignorant, deluded by the ego, think, ‘I am the doer.”

Excerpt From
'Invincible Arjuna”
Debashis Chatterjee, Invincible Arjuna

“The real opposite of happiness is selfishness”
Debashis Chatterjee, One Minute Wisdom: Transformative Coaching for Life, Learning and Leadership

“Action is much more than random motion of the body and the mind. True action is born of wonder. When our heart, mind and our entire human capacity is invested in what we do, we get to see true action. The deeper the root of our action goes within our being the more spontaneous our action becomes. True action is indeed not random motion – like goods moving unconsciously through an assembly line. Action is the movement of the conscious being towards a larger purpose.”
Debashis Chatterjee, The Other 99%: You Can Dare To Lead

“love generates our social and parental instincts, builds friendships, unites lovers and creates an affinity between people in organizations. In the larger spiritual realm, love raises the human organism beyond the pursuit of physical and social needs towards a greater integration with the cosmos.”
Debashis Chatterjee, Karma Sutras : Leadership and Wisdom in Uncertain Times

“Think of a problem, any problem, as a pinch of salt. If you put that pinch of salt in a spoonful of water, the water will taste very salty. Now, if you put the same pinch of salt into a cup of water, the water will be a little less salty. Now, if you put the same pinch of salt into a cup of water, the water will be a little less salty. Now, if you put the same pinch of salt in a lake full of water, the salt will almost vanish. When the conscious energy that you are expands to become like a vast lake of water, your problems will most certainly go away. You will have the greater ability to cope with your problems. This human ability, called awareness, is able to see the resort beyond the barriers.”
Debashis Chatterjee, Invincible Arjuna
