KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, February 25, 2002: Speaking to about 350 people at the Lakshimi Narayan Temple at Jalan Ipoh yesterday, Swami Parthasarathy said, “All actions by the individual are their own creation. It’s you who impose duties and responsibilities upon yourself and you are the ultimate master of yourself.” In his talk titled “We Live By choice, Not by Chance,” he added, “You cannot be a good manager if you cannot manage yourself. Self-management revolves around controlling the mind and the intellect.” The management guru from Mumbai is renowned for conducting The Power of Self management seminars in the United States, Europe, Australia and India. Swami Parthasarathy said, “Your mind can cause damage. If your intellect does not direct it properly, then you may make a wrong decision. Everyone’s mind is pressured by desire and expectations in the world.” “Pave your way in life through individual reflection and understanding. by such continuous striving, on manifold aspects of life, you develop a powerful intellect,” said the swami who spoke about higher values of peace and prosperity. He added that in life it was important that one did not choose a vocation alien to one’s basic nature. “If you do, you will then become mentally agitated and as a result your productivity will fail. You will not progress in life and build stress upon yourself. Unresolved, stress can lead to ill health, high blood pressure, heart disease and many other chronic problems.”
