A STATE OF MIND, A WAY OF LIFE

A Sage Is Not Someone Who Leaves the World. A Sage Is Someone
Who Learns How to Live Beautifully Within It. For centuries,
many people have believed that becoming a sage requires renouncing
family, wealth, business, and worldly responsibilities. This
book challenges that belief. Drawing upon the timeless wisdom of
the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata,
and the Guru–Shishya tradition, Dr. Abhishek Gilara
presents a practical and inspiring philosophy for modern life.
Through deeply personal reflections, ancient Hindu wisdom, and real-life experiences, he demonstrates
that a sage is not defined by robes, rituals, or isolation—but by discipline, humility, Dharma,
self-mastery, and continuous learning. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a professional, a parent, a
student, or a leader, this book will help you develop a peaceful and disciplined mind; perform
Karma according to Dharma; master desires instead of being mastered by them; build success without
attachment; learn continuously and live purposefully; balance spirituality with family, business,
and leadership; and discover the sage already living within you. This is not merely a book about
spirituality. It is a practical guide to living with wisdom in the twenty-first century. Because true
success is not measured by how much you accumulate. It is measured by how peacefully, purposefully,
and truthfully you live. “The world does not need more people who appear spiritual. It needs
more people who live wisely.”
