Behaviour is a response which needs to be disciplined. This is how youngsters interviewed by Avini Singh for krrisha.com this week inferred. It is great, but we need to understand its dynamics a bit.
Let’s get deeper
First thing we need to understand is that behaviour (the response system) is called आचरण in Sanskrit, which itself means ‘manifesting inner discipline’. What is inner discipline? It has two components. (1) The responses learnt in past lives (2) The responses being acquired in the present life. They together make a whole called आचरण.
But the real art lies in manifesting them at the right time and occasion outside. Well, that requires a lot of emotional balance inside first. The tips to that effect can be learnt from Discourse Two of the Bhagwad Gita. However, in a nutshell, as long as you are affected, shaken or thrilled (not inspired) by something, you should avoid any response, unless it is a question of life and death. Well, when your life is threatened, handle your fears within first and then immediately act well to save yourself and defeat your fear outside. But, unless you are emotionally unperturbed inside, you can not behave outside perfectly. This is the key.
Handling the outside
As I have already told you that the first response to a situation should be handling your inner emotional dynamics. When you are balanced, you can deliver a reasoned response outside. Emotion management is very important. You can learn this art during the krrisha sessions.
Because, everything depends upon how you balance yourself emotionally to deliver a response outside. Once you have developed the art of where to show anger and where not to, where to show love and where not to, where to sympathise and where not to, how far to allow a person intimacy how far not to…your responses will be very seasoned and powerful. Anger is a good emotion when it is disciplined into a response and delivered when it is required to be. Love is a good emotion when it is disciplined into a response and delivered when it is required to be. So on and so forth.
Using love everywhere is as bad as using anger everywhere. So instead of behaving good, learn to behave well. That is what Bhagwad Gita teaches you in a nutshell. Everything that you have as an emotion is your asset. And assets should be used wisely. Isn’t it?

Behaviour is our action physical or mental triggered by emotional states.Not at all, behavior does not mean to be polite all the time.It is inter-related at the same time. If we will not be rude with a bad person they will overpower us and will try to get even with us. They would also not understand where to draw a line. It is really not possible to handle worst situation,without loosing calm, but it is definitely possible to keep reminding ourselves that no problem is permanent.
Inference: To behave is not to be polite every time. Rude people should be responded in the same tone but one should not lose their calm.
Prateeksha Mishra
The manner of conducting oneself. Just keep your cool and avoid being rude in response.This is mature gesture.Handling a situation depends upon the other persons level of conversation of the topic he/she is concerned with.The act of good gestures,vocal manners and many extra politeness can help it.
Inference: Keeping cool and avoiding being rude in response with the person is not good.
Sonali Yadav.
Someone's attitude according to the situation.No, 'to behave' means to act accordingly .Definitely being polite and calm in the situations because at that time we can take decisions wisely. Move away from the particular place, sit take deep breaths, discuss with close ones.
Inference: A person should remain polite and calm in a situation that is the best decision a person can take.
Asmita Singh
Behaviour means attitude towards certain things or situations. It depends upon the situation whether a person should keep his/her calm or respond in the same sense. Try to take out frustration at lonely places.
Inference: A person should behave in accordance with the demand of his/her situation.
Shreya Singh
Behaviour is a habit prolonged.Behavior should vary from person to person, situation to situation. It is just waste of time. Move forward from that very person.
Inference: Behaviour is subjective to a person. Move forward and dont care about the rude people.
Vaishnavi Singh
Behaviour is our true self. Be dynamically silent and don't say anything nasty or what difference will there be between you and that rude person.
Find logic ,facts, humor in it.
Inference: Be dynamically silent and learn, find humor and logic in a situation.
Saanika Khugsal
Behaviour is the outward reaction of an individual.Conduct yourself in mature way.Ask yourself to calm down and suppress your negativity.Tell yourself that reacting badly to a situation will ruin yourself only.
Inference: Keep calm and suppress the negativity which generates in you.
Saman Hussain
Behaviour means conducting your true emotions outward in a particular situation No, it means to tackle the rude in a polite way
Just let it go!
Inference: Just let it go and be polite. Your politeness will be response in itself.

Note by Bhavini Dubey (supervisor of the compilation)
Behaviour is a means of communication of a person’s essence with its surroundings and more importantly and crucially , a mode of observing one’s own self; observing the content we truly have. Politeness does not have to be meek surrender to one’s rude behaviour but a stern mention of the correct response in a way that drives the point home and by no means scatter it around. The best way to handle a situation is to first understand what it is and a wholesome education about situation—all its forms and dimensions along with how to manage, deal and prove victorious over them can only be availed under The Gita Guidance that Krishna Tarangam brings to us encapsulated in Gita Sessions.
