3. Reliance “Ego was Genesis of our Troubles.”(The following text is an excerpt from the Times of India as stated by Shri Anil Ambani.It shows how Dhirubhai Ambani’s Nishkam Karma led to the success of Reliance and how the involvement of Ambani brothers in Sakam Karma led to its division) Karma yogi was my father Dhirubhai Ambani’s other name. He was a man of action. But as a true follower of Bhagavat Gita, he acted not for himself, but for humanity. In the true spirit of Nishkama karma, he remained free from attachment to the fruits of his action. Like a true bhakta, he attributed his good actions to the lord of all souls. The Gita is the essence of Krishna’s message. Its wisdom and fundamental truths are eternal, guiding man through life by revealing the purpose of human existence. Since the divine is an aspect of all us, trust has a central place in all our relationships. Ego is the source of all our troubles. It creates a feeling of separateness, sense of duality, the idea of being distinct and different from others. It is an arrogant and obsessive sense of ownership, the passion of Sakam that has lost touch with dharma. Humility is the essential foundation for building everything that is lasting and permanent. It means to create without claiming of doing without taking credit, of guiding without interfering. This was the abiding truth which guided the life of Dhirubhai Ambani. He never saw himself as an owner.
a. How did the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita contribute to the success of Reliance in the era of Dhirubhai Ambani?                                                                                                         (5 Marks)
b. How can Nishkama Karma lead to success in Business Management?                 (5 Marks)
