You will be surprised to know what the relationship is between these two tiny, simple English words. Even I was totally unaware but realised it recently.
The other day, as is
my usual practise as a mother, I called up my beloved daughter, who was at home
due to preparation leave in between final exam papers. After connecting with
her immediately, I asked, "Have you collected enough pieces?" She was
shocked to hear this from me. I mean to ask her, are all pieces intact to
handle the upcoming peace exam (Peace is one of the subjects having final
exams)? She had a blast after understanding my point of view. To appear for the
peace exam, it's essential to know where all the pieces are. I mean, notes are,
reading material is, question banks and case studies are, videos are, etc.
Peace can be achieved only when you know where the first piece is and
thereafter where the other required pieces are, and then the collection and
assembly process begins thereafter to gain final peace.
In this example of an
exam for my daughter, I referred to various pieces as reading materials, but in
real life too, to gain peace, which everyone aspires to and expects, we need to
know where that first piece is and where other pieces are spread across the
mind, around, or in the world. Once you know the source to begin with, you will
obtain and assemble all the pieces together to gain peace.
One of the easiest
ways this new generation finds the first valuable piece is with OpenAI tools or
social media platforms. To live peacefully, they hunt for pieces from
non-living things. Why? You are surrounded by your own people, loved once,
friends, family, collegues, neighbours, teachers, mentors, four-legged friends,
nature, birds, tress etc to name a few then why to rely on these non-living
things which are actually a brain-child of living being. Come on.
One wonderful piece
of advice is that instead of merely going to ChatGPT or similar platforms, why
not try GitaGPT instead? As all are aware, there are many verses in the Gita
that are extremely useful for living peacefully, and it mentors everyone, as
has been proven for ages. And now that the technical form of Gita, which also
speaks the language of Gen Z, is available at the click of a button, why not
check it out once? Of course, whether you approach friends, family, or Gita,
you need to ask the apt question. "Prompt engineering" plays a vital
and important role. Keywords are finally a ball game; focus on pieces like what
you ask and how you ask to always gain peace.
