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.
A composite decision scores 7 of 8 lenses green — and the one red lens is the one that decides it. Why averaging your reasons is the cheat, and how to weight the lens you're failing over the ones you're acing.
A composite move-cities prompt, shown twice — the clean version someone typed and the ugly version they lived — proving a chatbot can only be as truthful as your input, while a fixed eight-lens read scores what you deleted.
Your answer flips with your week and you can't tell which version is right. Watch one composite decision get scored twice — good day, bad day — and see which lenses lurch and which refuse to move.
A founder finds a load-bearing engineer building something adjacent on weekends. The instinct is to fire fast and lawyer up. Four lenses separate the moat worth guarding from the wound wearing strategy's clothes.
Ten years of showing up while your sibling sent excuses — now a parent needs daily care. Is 'fair' equal from today, or does the backlog count? We score the composite on four fixed lenses and name the one that forces the cut.
A mid-career engineer keeps circling a job that pays 40% less but fits the work he'd do unpaid. Is that svadharma or restlessness in a costume? We score both across the eight lenses and find the real fork.
A fifteen-year friendship that only flows one way, read through four of the eight lenses — where non-harm and honesty openly disagree, and the resentment turns out to be a bill.
You've read your dilemma a dozen times and keep landing where you wanted. A composite family-loan case shows the tell: the lens you skim fastest is usually the one holding the answer.
You ran your dilemma and the reasons split — duty says stay, detachment says let go. A worked composite showing why the Gita method doesn't average the contradiction away, it reads it.
Your co-founder holds equal equity and does half the work — and naming it makes you feel like the greedy one. We run one composite founder fork across four lenses and give a committed call.
A composite family case: parents paid for the degree, the deposit, the wedding — and now use the ledger to steer a career move nobody asked them to weigh in on. Watch four lenses separate gratitude from an unsigned bill.
You're offered the lead role over three teammates you've shared lunch and grievances with for four years. The raise is real. So is the loss. We run one composite through the lenses that separate wanting the title from being right for it.
