Real, worked examples of hard decisions read through eight Bhagavad Gita lenses — and the reusable way of looking at your own dilemma that you can take with you.
You carry the whole relationship unthanked, and can't tell if the resentment is a reason to speak or a reason to leave. We score one composite across four lenses and find the sentence you've never said.
A composite drafter frames a job move as 'a better opportunity' while the real engine is spite toward the boss who passed him over. Watch one lens score the reason he says +3 and another score the reason he feels -3 — and learn the sign-flip test to run tonight.
A composite founder pastes a 'balanced' prompt into a chatbot — three careful paragraphs against the thing he wants, one line for it — and gets back exactly what his word count was begging for. Here's what eight fixed lenses score instead.
An acqui-hire pays you and your two seniors real money and zeroes out the four who took below-market pay on your word. The math is clean. We score it on four lenses that actually bite — and land on one committed call.
A composite career dilemma: a competent, underpaid engineer plans to fake an outside offer to force a raise. Four lenses split hard on whether that's negotiating your worth or weaponizing a bluff you'll re-pull every year.
You've been auditing a relationship the other person doesn't know is being audited. A KarmaLens read on the secret ledger — and the one test that tells a boundary from a sentence.
Most decisions get weighed by what the decider stands to gain. One of the eight lenses asks the un-flattering question: if your read is wrong, who absorbs the cost — and did they get a vote?
You decided once, then the ground moved. Watch one composite dilemma get read twice on the same eight lenses — same question, opposite verdict, nobody wrong. A test for telling a real re-read from a re-ask.
A composite team lead defers a promised bonus 'for the team' — while quietly protecting his own promotion. A worked read on the one lens that separates a duty from a dodge, plus the swap test you can run tonight.
A founder catches a mid-level hire padding expense reports for seven months. For-cause today, a slow paper trail, or a soft exit that protects his next job? We run all three through the eight lenses — and find the one the founder keeps ducking.
An only son sends money and calls every Sunday — and still hangs up convicted. A composite family dilemma read on four lenses, plus the Two-Column Ask Test to separate the help you can give from the grief you can only witness.
A repeat offense feels like proof the first forgiveness was a mistake. Run one composite through four of the eight lenses and watch 'leave or stay' resolve into a third shape neither lens saw alone.
