Recently I was reading a book by Eknath Easwaran which mentioned about 8 fold path for right living and guide to spiritual enlightenment. More I read about it I felt as if that is how we learn and master the principles of Lean Manufacturing. Here are the steps of 8 fold path as described by Eknath Easwaran:

1. Meditation: you become what you meditate on
2. Japam: Silent repetition of word(s) to prevent idle mind from doing wrong things.
3. Slowing Down: To get a big picture
4. One-pointedness: giving complete attention to whatever you are doing
5. Sense Restraint: ability to discern discriminatively.
6. Putting others first: Person with little or no self will are more secure and can help others
7. Reading Scriptures: through carefully selected Scriptures we can be inspired by the awareness of all ages
8. Satsang: association with people who are or have already been on the same path
