When you choose quality, you choose a way of thinking

The side which chose Lord Krishna chose quality

Everything is first qualitative. Then it is quantitative.

Quality is about essence. Quantity is about how much.

Quality differentiates itself in counter-intuitive ways.

Firstly, when two different systems interact, they do basis their quality first. Quantity does not automatically over-ride quality. An ant can be problematic for an elephant, a toothache can make the strongest of man or woman cry. A hungry black hole can eat up thousands of stars.

Secondly, it is quality in the quantity that is the real value creator and differentiator. But often we tend to build up quantity, irrespective of quality, as it is incorrectly seen as a sign of strength. Example, sales numbers versus
customer retention, connects versus converts and, money accumulation versus wealth creation.

This lack of understanding is not a new age phenomenon. In the epic tale of Mahabharata, Lord Krishna gives the choice to rivals Arjuna and Duryodhana, to either choose him alone without his arms or his invincible army. Arjuna chose Lord Krishna and Duryodhana chose his mighty army. As we all know, the side which had Lord Krishna, won.

When we choose quality, we choose clarity.
Clarity in intention, action and consequences.
