Everything will come and go in our lives and so we cannot get attached to them.
Good and bad things will come and go in our lives.
We have no control of them.
Things may not work out as we expect.
Lord Krishna said:
“Arjuna, everything comes and goes in life. Happiness and unhappiness are temporary experiences that rise from sense perception. Heat and cold, pleasure and pain will come and go. They never last forever. So do not get attached to them.”
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2:14)

very best way to manage “anxiety “ and “Stress” is to practice Hama breathing exercise which is known as “Baby Pranayama.” which involves “ watching inhalation and exhalation without interfering the flow pattern of air or chest or nostril movements.”
1-----"Ha" is the sound of the breath on our exhalations and "Sa" is the sound of the inhalations.
2----You can do this exercise anywhere at any time.
3-----Of Course please do not do this when driving.
4------First result is you will fall asleep.
5--Next result is you will have thought free periods of time.
6---Third result is you will start enjoying inner peace even when the whole world is screaming at you.
7--CAUTION: never do Hamsa breathing exercise, when U drive

Who or What is God?
God is NOT a man.
God is NOT a woman.
In fact, nobody knows what or who God is.
There are 33 gods in Rig Veda. Hindus do not have 33 Crore Gods. That statement is a completely misinterpreted translation of Sanskrit verses, by foreign 'scholars'.
In Rig Veda itself, Rishis wrote that THERE IS ONE GOD and that God is Brahman.
God or Brahman is described as “it” and is the infinite, eternal , indescribable, omniscient, pervasive, genderless, eternal truth, and bliss which does not change, yet is the cause of all changes.
Brahman is described in two ways.
Saguna Brahman ----God with attributes
Nirguna Brahman --- God without attributes

Lord Krishna never judged or ordered;
He only explained to Arjuna the pros and cons of every issue and was left to Arjuna whether to follow his teachings or not.
Lord Krishna did not even influence the free will of Arjuna.
Arjuna had the right to ACCEPT everything Lord Krishna taught or REJECT everything Lord Krishna taught.
In fact, at the end of Mahabharata, Rishi Veda Vyasa has to teach a very disheartened Arjuna, the whole of Bhagavad Gita again.

How can we use Lord Krishna’s teachings in day to day life?
Here are the few of the important verses from the Bhagavad Gita.

2 Abandon fruits of actions (Gita 2:47)
3 Become a Yogi (Gita 2:70, 6:46)

Lord Krishna said: "If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it." (Bhagavad Gita 9:26)
patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ
yo me bhaktyā prayacchati
tad ahaṁ bhakty-upahṛtam
aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ
God does not care whether we know Mantras or whether we have knowledge of Sanskrit or Latin or Hebrew…
God is interested only in our sincere devotion.
Any prayer in any language in very simple words will do.
To say, one need to know rituals or mantras to pray to God is out right ridiculous.

Lord Krishna said the whole creation is his LEELA (Divine child play) and creation came from his Maya (illusion).
Since we are part and parcel of that Maya (illusion), it is not easy for us to comprehend this Maya (illusion).
Just like the “on” and “off” switches on a digital computer (BINARY CIRCUIT of zero and one ) make thousands of forms of "illusion" for all of us, through Maya, God is creating all the illusion again and again.
WHY? Nobody knows.
Lord Krishna tells his friend Arjuna:
“ Oh! Arjuna, in the beginning of time (Kalpa = 4.3 billion years) , through my Maya( illusion), I create everything and at the end of time (Kalpa =4.3 billion years), the whole creation merges in me. By my will the whole universe is created & annihilated again and again “
(Bhagavad Gita 9:7,8)

Spiritual Maturity will ONLY happen within us slowly and steadily....
It take years to achieve that.
Like a small sapling plant becoming a giant Banyan tree tree one day, even the worst among us will slowly change and become better and eventually attain spiritual maturity.
We have nothing to worry, except worry itself.
It is very difficult to describe how change comes, but that happens in the life of everyone.
ROME was not built in a day.
Neither U and I.
But we can be assured a completely change will happen within all of us and we will attain spiritual maturity
_________________________________________________
It is ordinary human beings like you and I slowly becoming yogis one day and as such everyone will go through the transformation I described.

It is a glutton worm that one day becomes a beautiful butterfly. Similarly, it is a person who is the most materialistic one day becomes a YOGI.

Sin only means KARMIC DEBT. No Hindu will say "I am a sinner" since sin in Hinduism means “Ignorance of the truth that one is the immortal soul within the body (Atman) and not the perishable material body.”
Lord Krishna said:
“Even if you are the worst sinner in the world; You can still cross the ocean of Sin; By a bark of (Jnana) wisdom.
As the blazing fire burns wood to ashes, Arjuna, so does the fire of true knowledge (Jnana) which will burn all “karmic debt” to ashes.”
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 4:36, 37)
No Hindu will ever say he or she is a Sinner.
No Guru will ever discuss about SIN since Sin is not important in Hindu scriptures.

Whatever the situation, don't give in to stress: Lord Krishna said:
“Arjuna, everything comes and goes in life. Happiness and unhappiness are temporary experiences that rise from sense perception. Heat and cold, pleasure and pain will come and go. They never last forever. So, do not get attached to them.”
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2:14)
We are in a rat race of endless, self-defeating, and pointless pursuit.
So, these words of Lord Krishna have a lot of importance today
We have to get rid our self of excessive worry.
Excessive worry will result in HEART ATTACKS and in STROKES.

Why do Hindu scriptures give utmost importance to ASHRAMAS and ASHRAMA DHARMA?
Because ASHRAMAS were developed by RISHIS in tune with the physical and mental development of a human being.
Ashramas are the stages of life which provide training and environment for realizing the ideal of our life.
There are four ashramas in all:
Brahmacharya (student life),
Garhasthya (family life),
Vanaprastha (retired life), and
Sannyasa (life of renunciation).
Nobody is allowed to JUMP any ashramas.
Even Adi Sankara and Suka Maharishi were FORCED to marry and go through GRAHASTHYA ashrama, even though they did not.
