Here are 10 special quotes from the Bhagvada Gita which can enlighten the mind and the soul –
1. "It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection."
People are born in this world as individuals responsible for their own actions. They should make their own decisions no matter how right and wrong they are, without trying to imitate others. People should learn to take ownership of their life rather walking on someone else's road.
2. "I am Time, the great destroyer of the world."
As goes the great saying "Time and Tide wait for none", Bhagvada Gita also propagates the beliefs that time is the most valuable ornament of our existence. Any being belonging to any age group cannot afford to waste it. It teaches us how to be organized and have a productive and meaningful life. Once wasted, it can never be compensated.
3. "O Krishna, the mind is restless"
The mind is a powerful element that cannot be controlled by any force. It is its own master. At one point people believe in something and at the very other moment they support something else. The mind is always in a state of flux.
4. 'Reshape yourself through the power of your will.'
Life should be conquered by the will. Will is the strongest emotion which drives the entire existence. People's will to achieve their goals or to become something in life helps them to achieve success.
5. "Set thy heart upon thy work, but never on its reward."
People have the right to work, but never to the fruit of that work. They should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should they long for inaction. Hard work should be the soul dedication and the result will follow. People should always be patience.
6. "There is nothing lost or wasted in life."
Everyone has the privilege of living only one life. People come into this world without belongings but as individuals. They should not have regrets in this life. They don't even lose their loved ones, they are all here.
7. "Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is."
Every man is an individual with different opinions and perspectives. A man is known by his beliefs. Whatever he believes in becomes his identity.

8. "There is neither this world nor the world beyond nor happiness for the one who doubts."
Anyone who doubts his decisions, his likings, his dislikes or is not confident about his choices will fail to be happy no matter how many chances are given to him. He will not find happiness in any state of mind.
9. "One can become whatever one wants to be (if one constantly contemplates on the object of desire with faith)."
All have hankering towards achieving goals in life. Though some are successful but some lose the battle because they are in doubt. People should understand humans have the capability to achieve everything in life only if they believe in themselves.
10. "I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Anything that takes birth is destined to die. Everything, that breathes, which includes plants and animals, also have a lifespan.
