Abstract

Abstract: The present paper focuses on conceptualizing the uses of power by training the mind to control the senses in order to realize the true purpose of the soul. The spectrum of this training of the mind is from evolution to involution. Love is the eternal source of joy and truth is the eternal source of wisdom. Organizations today need to create a culture of love and truth for wellness and happiness at the workplace so that people flourish together by helping and nurturing each other. The present paper draws insights from the Vedas and Vedic Literature.
