True excellence is invisible.
The best customer support? No calls needed.
Flawless operations? Zero incidents.
Ultimate healthcare? Prevention trumps cure.
Perfection lies in the absence of need.

Become Keertimukha.
L1: Pehle kaam karo (First, do the work)
L2: Phir kaam khatam karo (Then, finish the work)
L3: Phir kaam ko hi khatam karo (Then, eliminate the work itself) That's Keertimukha level.

Story of Keertimukha.
Every Hindu temple carries a face above the entrance—Keertimukha, the "glorious face." Here's why:
A yogi once came to bother Shiva. Shiva created a demon to eat him up. The yogi begged for mercy. Shiva relented: "Leave him."
The demon protested: "You made me to eat him. Now what do I do?"
Shiva, in a blissed-out mood: "Eat yourself."
And so he did. When Shiva looked again, only a face remained—two arms sticking out of its mouth, devouring itself completely.
Shiva declared: "You are a glorious face. One who can consume himself like this is above all gods."

Take away for Operational Excellence.
The demon transcended by eliminating his own existence.
In operations, in life, the highest achievement isn't doing more. It's designing systems so good that you become unnecessary.
Build processes that eat themselves.
Create solutions that prevent problems from existing.
Aspire to the work that eliminates work.
That's the Keertimukha path.
