Yama 4 - Diversity

Ability to respect and imbibe dharma of people of various gender/ cultural/ religious/ colour/ countries etc. ensures acceptability of ideas & lower stress.

With business crossing borders, one person’s actions could be interpreted as another person’s insult, resulting in stress. Sensitivity & awareness to the other’s cultural, racial background is one of the most important requirements today. Ability to remove sexual bias in business relationships is an important personal development requirement. Correct interpretation of verbal and non verbal signals is the key to peaceful relationships and lower stress.

Diversity is being able to work with other people’s Dharma & Svabhava to a common goal without sacrificing your own

Share your opinion and experiences

  • How do you adjust to other people’s opinions without creating discord?
  • How do you adjust to diversity in food?
  • Diversity in dressing and its impact on people, their opinion of others & relationships.
  • How do you adjust to diversity in religion and value systems?
  • How do you adjust to diversity in age?
