THERE IS NO SPACE—CREATE YOURS — PART III

THERE IS NO SPACE—CREATE YOURS — PART III — The Space Needed Is in the Heart What if the greatest shortage in life is not a shortage of space—but a shortage of space in our hearts? Dr. Abhishek Gilara grew up in a joint family where generations lived and worked together in a remarkably small home—three rooms, a common hall that became the family gaddi during the day and sleeping space at night, and facilities shared with many others. By today’s standards, there was hardly enough room. Yet there was room for family. Room for guests. Room for business.Room for children. Room for dreams. And eventually, those dreams created much larger homes, businesses and opportunities. The physical space came later. The heart-space came first. In THERE IS NO SPACE—CREATE YOURS — PART III, Dr. Gilara connects his own joint-family journey with timeless lessons he draws from the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita. Why could Rama, Bharata, Lakshmana and Shatrughna remain great without needing to make one another small? Why can enormous kingdoms still feel insufficient when greed occupies the heart? When should we adjust? When should we stand for our rights? And after we finally create our own space, what responsibility do we have toward those coming after us? This book takes the philosophy of Create Yours to its highest level: Do not merely fight to get a chair. Become capable enough to build another room. Create space for family without destroying individuality. Create space for the next generation without creating entitlement. Create space for professionals without insecurity. Create space for artisans through economic dignity. Create space for Indian heritage in the global world. And when you become successful, never become the person who once told you: “There is no space for you.” The final victory is not merely creating a place for yourself. It is creating so much meaningful space that others can rise because you did. HAVE RAMA’S HEART. HAVE ARJUNA’S COURAGE. HAVE KRISHNA’S DISCERNMENT. AND KEEP DOING YOUR KARMA. Because buildings eventually change hands. Chairs change occupants. Businesses move to another generation. But the space you create in people’s lives can survive you. THERE IS ALWAYS SPACE IN A LARGE ENOUGH HEART. AND WHEN THE WORLD HAS NOT BUILT THE SPACE YOU NEED—CREATE IT. THEN BECOME LARGE ENOUGH TO CREATE IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
