The Bhagavad Gita presents five foundational lessons that help unlock genuine happiness and purpose in daily life.

1. First, it urges you to perform your duty (dharma) without attachment to the results, freeing you from constant outcome-anxiety. 
2. Second, it emphasizes the importance of mastering your mind and senses rather than letting them steer you into emotional turbulence.
3. Third, true equilibrium is valued: the Gita teaches to maintain balance in success and failure, so neither elevates nor crushes you.
4. Fourth, it draws our gaze inward—happiness lies within, not solely in external possessions or validation.
5. Finally, it points to living with purpose and ethical alignment, so that your actions reflect your values and bring fulfillment beyond mere gain.

Together, these insights form a practical blueprint: act with integrity, calm your inner world, stay steady amid change, derive joy from your inner centre, and move with purpose. Applied today, they transform the ordinary into a life of clarity, resilience and deeper meaning.
