Social reformation through Spiritual Awareness
Spiritual awareness uplifts human beings by infusing
realistic noble qualities. Material attachment degrades the human beings by
increasing selfishness and misguidance.
Worthy acts are those, which solve the problems and bestow
well being. Unworthy acts are those which create problems and destroy
well
being.
Wise and enlightened persons are fully aware of the real
problems,
real solutions, real welfare and real success for the entire humanity.
The intelligent method of solving the problems is to
simplify
all the complications and strike at the root to achieve the desired
result
with a single effort of absolutely realistic endeavor through spiritual
wisdom.
The foolish method is to complicate all the simple matters
to, conduct elaborate investigation of the irrelevant factors and
finally
facing failure, even after performing strenuous efforts by depending
upon
materialistic secularism.
Godless secularism is just like rootless tree.
No problem is a problem for spiritual realism, whereas no
solution
is a solution for materialistic secularism.
If character is lost, everything is lost.
Among all the worthy instructions, formation of good
conduct is of utmost importance. This good conduct is generated through the
propagation of righteousness, the progenitor of the righteousness is verily the
Supreme Lord.
A person of evil conduct ruins himself and also
thousands of others.
Honest citizens are the real assets of the nation.
Dishonest citizens are liability and calamity for the
nation.
Every citizen should be honest, responsible, wise and
courageous.
Spiritual realization generates noble human values,
whereas atheistic materialism and immature emotionalism spread inhumanness in
the society. Therefore one should not draw any conclusions by the help of little
learning
One should know that, there is more happiness in
giving, than in taking
Everyone should strive for the welfare of the country
and of the society
The country has done so much for you, what have you
done for the welfare of the society and the nation ? Server God and serve the
nation with all your resources. Befriend the noble souls and help the needy
people.
Whatever you dislike for yourself such things should
never be directed towards others
Whatever you ardently desire for yourself should be
offered to others also.
Collect righteously with hundred hands and distribute
them to the deserving people with thousand hands
Let us follow the path of Universal Welfare
Let us be alert to save everyone from distress and
calamities
Let there be health and happiness to all, let there
be auspiciousness to all, let everyone be free from sorrow and misery
If you desire auspiciousness, always perform virtuous
deeds, so also avoid evil activity to keep away from their harmful results
Truthfulness, nobility and honesty in thought, word
and in deed are the minimum qualities that constitute a normal human being.
Devoid of righteousness, all the two-legged animals are not human beings
Natural living is auspicious to all, while unnatural
living results in suffering and destruction. Human beings should lead an eco
friendly life, allegiant to the cosmic nature, to the sentient nature and to the
spiritual nature, to achieve health and happiness
If every citizen is righteous, the whole country can
become a heavenly abode. Even before trying to reform anyone else, all should
correct themselves first and then alone should instruct others
Uphold noble human values pertaining to all the
times, all the places and all the persons. So also, suppress inhumanness of all
description.
All the living beings are the children of the same
Supreme Lord. Those who commit violence against others are hellish brutes.
Spirit is the basis of life, existence, development,
universal welfare and eternal well being. Materialism generates selfishness,
degradation, deception, disparity and unrest. Spiritual awareness alone can
establish Universal Welfare. Therefore, always learn and practice spiritual
realism by avoiding atheism, fanaticism, materialism, pessimism and optimism.
The three kinds of developments like material
affluence, academic excellence and spiritual awareness are necessary for the all
round development of the body, mind and spirit
Today the country is very badly in need of sincere
rulers, dedicated teachers and honest parents to prepare the younger generation
as a brilliant class of dutiful and disciplined citizens of India.
Even a single child of our country should not be
allowed to become characterless, antisocial or anti national. All the negative
factors like violence, hatred, selfishness, ungratefulness, laziness,
corruption, greed, duplicity etc are resulted due to the collective weakness and
wickedness of the incompetent rulers, inefficient teachers and irresponsible
parents, the children shall learn worthy character to shine like gems in the
society
A ruler who cannot inspire patriotism and
righteousness in the minds of the citizens is unfit to rule the country.
A ruler who cannot protect the lives and property of
the innocent civilians should quit the office.
A ruler who tolerates the wickedness of the anti
social elements destroys the welfare of the nation.
· A good ruler should curb wickedness at any cost and should
spread honest righteousness in the entire country.
· Foolish people engage in gross selfishness, thinking their
worldly belongings to be permanent. Consequently they loose their own
real
welfare.
Gambling, intoxication, butchery and adultery are the
four fold unjust acts that ruin the society. A wise person should always keep
away from the controversial acts.
Holy Company is the root cause of well-being, whereas
evil association is the gateway to hell.
The population of the world is increasing day by day,
whereas the number of worthy human beings is decreasing everyday. This
unfortunate trend should be reversed top save the world from destruction.
The most urgent duty of all of us is to promote noble
human values and to suppress wickedness through all our right and might. Those
who do not subscribe to this holy mission shall face downfall with their
associates.
Unless you actively support the mission of universal
welfare through spiritual awareness, you cannot achieve your own progress by any
other secular means. Unless you strongly condemn the unrighteous wickedness and
social injustice perpetrated by brutal elements, you cannot prove your innocence
by keeping mum to support the devilish designs of the wicked demons. Therefore,
O brothers and sisters – arise, awake and stop not until the goal of universal
welfare is achieved.
The misguided society is rushing towards doom due to
the lack of spiritual guidance, just as a large ship on the surface of high sea
moving directionless at the absence of a magnetic compass
Undue worldly attachment results in fear, grief,
greed, illusion and downfall. Spiritual wisdom acquired through holy company
bestows freedom from grief, fear and death.
First of all try to become a real human being by acquiring
all auspicious divine qualities. Never become a brute or a cheat.
Always
adhere to eternal righteousness sanatana dharma. It will protect you
forever
Godless secularism is a lifeless body
Only by offering happiness to all others, you can
become happy and fearless
Holy Company and spiritual guidance are the basis of
the spiritual awareness; honest devotional endeavor and grace of God are factors
needed for absolute realization.
The wrong ideologies of selfish materialism, foolish
atheisms and mad fanaticism are digging the grave for the humanity by spreading
disbelief, pollution, violence, crime, disharmony, mistrust, enmity, frustration
and downfall.
Satisfaction, happiness, fearlessness, success, bliss
and friendliness are the qualities of pure spirit. You cannot purchase them from
any super market of this material world
Save humanism from the clutches of demonism
The wicked thought of harming others is cropped up in
the sinful hearts of misguided, uncultured, barbaric, intolerant and cunning
brutes
Learn and practice the teachings of Gita and Bhagavatham in
holy association to acquire absolute knowledge and to achieve eternal
happiness
Those who are kind to all living beings are dear to
the Supreme Lord
As the human birth is quite transitory, spiritual
righteousness should be practiced from the very young age. The Supreme Lord
should be worshipped with absolute affection and loving regard
Academic learning should be kept allegiant to the
spiritual wisdom. More worldly intelligence is foolishness with God
Save yourself and save the motherland from the
clutches of terrorism, militancy, atheism, fanaticism, corruption and deception.
Mother and Motherland, the both are superior to
heavens
Every citizen should sacrifice his selfish interest
for the welfare of the nation
Those who have no regard for the motherland are
sinful brutes
Before claiming for your rights, discharge your
relevant duties. Lead an ideal life of righteousness for the welfare of the
present and future generation
The virtues like honesty, compassion, tolerance,
generosity, humbleness, faith in God, austerity and brotherly regard for all the
living beings are essential for all the human beings
Avoid undue optimism and baseless pessimism.
Spiritual realism alone can help you to achieve real success
Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Purity in thought, word
and
deed are essential for upliftment and well being
Without the blessing of the Supreme Lord and the
saints, you cannot do any good to anybody
The purpose of human life is to have self-realization
and God-realization
The ultimate goal of human life is to acquire divine
love, which is the eternal wealth for all the living entities
Variegated ness is quite natural in the creation of
God. But, no one should stick to antagonism on the basis of these variations
Bereft of spiritual guidance, the worldly virtues
like education, technology, wealth, power, affluence etc, turn out to be a curse
to the humanity, like a gem on the hood of a dangerous cobra
What is the use of living like brutes and beasts even
after securing the auspicious human birth, which is a rare gift of God?
A worthy person has a generous heart to help everyone
and sympathy for all the suffering beings by striving to relieve their distress
· The heart of a noble person is softer than butter, as it
melts
at the suffering of all others.
· Saintly persons are homogeneous in their thought, word and
deed. They exhibit courage in calamity, detachment in affluence,
oratory
in scholarly congregation, braveness in battle, keenness for success
and
affinity for scriptural study
Supreme Lord is the absolute master, father, teacher,
preceptor, friend, enjoyer and regulator of the entire creation. Basically every
living being is an eternal servant of the Supreme Lord who is All being, All
intelligence and All bliss
Real Wisdom is an outcome of holy association
Devotional service to the Supreme Lord with honest
submission alone can save the living beings from the cycle of birth, death, old
age, disease, sorrow, misery and rebirth
Let atheists discard their disbelief, fanatics avoid
their madness, academicians become free from their pride, rulers and leaders
forget their diplomacy and hypocrisy, terrorists be redeemed off their
meaningless hatred, let everyone become free from misguidance, ignorance and
wickedness. Faithful submission to the Supreme Lord and regular devotional
performance under the guidance of noble souls sets the humanity on a right
footing to achieve absolute auspiciousness and eternal bliss.
Lack of envy, absence of greed, sense control,
kindness towards all the living beings, penance, celibacy, truthfulness,
compassion, forgiveness and perseverance are the chief elements of
righteousness. By observing these worthy qualities one attains worldly happiness
and eternal bliss
According to Sri Manu – Contentment, forgiveness,
mind control, non stealing, purity, sense control, discretion regarding the
duty, spiritual knowledge, truthfulness and absence of anger these are the basic
elements of righteousness.
For achieving progress and development one should
take care of the factors like environmental purity, auspicious time, personal
hygiene, purity of thought, sense control, sublimity of meditation and purity of
the material ingredients.
Worldly affluence is the result of pleasant
benedictions of the parents, grace of the preceptor, earnest endeavor, and one’s
own fate as well as gods grace.
A person who can keep the eight fold phenomenal
nature under his control can attain liberation. The eight elements of nature are
– earth, water, quick development, but finally undergoes destruction with their
associates and descendants. Righteousness alone can bestow sustained progress
and eternal well being.
Religion connects the individual souls with the
Supreme Lord and bestows eternal happiness. Half learned and misguided followers
of various sects adhere to irreligion and create harm to the fellow beings.
Discarding religion cannot solve irreligious controversies. Spiritual
enlightenment purifies the religious ideology to save the humanity from
destruction. The neglected head may cause headache and pain, the atheistic
remedy of removing the head shall cause thousand fold pain and total
destruction. Therefore, protect spiritual righteousness to save the society and
the nation from downfall.
That human life alone is successful, which strives
for the welfare of one and all through the proper use of ones energy, wealth,
intelligence and speech, by leading a god conscious character.
Most of the masses lead a life of sense pleasures and
ultimately lose their real well being. Thos who are wise, follow the path of
spiritual welfare which may be difficult at the beginning, but finally provide
permanent happiness and eternal bliss.
The real wisdom and virtue of the worthy people is to
achieve
permanent well being and transcendental bliss by properly utilizing the
transient human birth as allegiant to Bhakti Yoga.
The mortal world is full of suffering. Every worldly
activity begets poisonous fruits to torture the living beings. In such a painful
world there are only two nectarine fruits in the form of holy company and the
message of devotional scriptures. Those who have not tasted these two nectars
are most unfortunate.
Association with loving devotees of Lord Hari is so much
auspicious
for the living beings that it is superior to heavenly bliss or
liberation
Worldly minded people engage in elaborately planning for
their
future programmes; but the life span is reducing day by day, the lost
days
never come back, youthful span is receding. The all devouring time is
always
waiting to terminate the lamp of life. Those who do not endeavor to
achieve
spiritual success shall come to grief when the dragon of time catches
them
unawares
Possessing mortal body of temporary nature the one
who does not endeavor to accumulate righteous virtues is quite stupid and most
unfortunate
The food cooked in the morning gets decomposed in the
evening.
How the body formed out of that decayble food can remain permanent
Oh my mind ! Shed of the pride of your wealth, young
age, followers etc. The wheel of time can tilt all of them within seconds
The divine name is the real wealth for the living
beings. It is verily the conveyance for the safe travel of life from this world
to the other, it is the perfect remedy for the disease of worldliness, so also
it is the remedy for all the sorrow and misery of this world. Without accepting
the submissive and faithful chanting of the Divine Name, how can you think
yourself to be intelligent.
Eating , sleeping, defending and mating are common
traits for all the creatures. Righteousness alone distinguishes men from
animals. Those who lack righteousness happen to be worst than animals
The noble people spend their time in the study of an
practice of divine scriptures. Whereas the foolish people spend their time in
bad habits, laziness or in quarrelling with others
A wise person should speak such words which are
truthful, polite, agreeable and useful for all. He should always avoid
expressing his own greatness as blaming others.
Only narrow-minded foolish people discriminate
between themselves and others. For the generous minded noble people, the entire
world is considered as their own family.
Holy souls are those who show compassion to all the
living beings, treating them as equal to themselves
If you care for progress, keep away from the six fold
evils such as excessive sleep, sloth, fear, anger, laziness and procrastination.
Even in the state of poverty, a virtuous person
should treat his guests by offering seat, accommodation, sweet water and
pleasing words; which are easily available to one and all.
A wise person should avoid all kinds of evil
association and accompany with noble and saintly persons.
A self contented person is really a rich person. The
one who is discontented always desires for the worldly riches and remains ever
destitute.
The race of tress exist for universal welfare; rivers
supply their sweet water for the universal welfare; the cows spend their life
for bestowing universal welfare; similarly the human body is also given by God
for universal welfare. Thos who misuse the human life are the most unfortunate
beings.
Dishonoring and torturing holy souls results in the
destruction of the society. The tears fallen from the eyes of saints, preceptors
and angels result in civil war, natural calamity and mass destruction.
Gambling, meat eating , liquor, adultery, hunting,
stealing and prostitution are the seven kinds of major sins that should be
avoided by all the wise people.
Worldly desires do not get quenched by experiencing
the enjoyments. They repeatedly get increased as pouring oil into the blazing
fire and finally they ruin the living beings. Therefore, one should control his
senses by the good counsel and by the sacred performance of spiritual religion.
The higher taste for the blissful service of the Supreme Lord alone can save a
human being from the nefarious trap of sense pleasures.
Sinful ruler and sinful citizens mutually ruin each
other; sinful wife ruins her husband and sinful disciple pulls down his
preceptor. Therefore every one should lead a virtuous life and simultaneously
save others from falling a prey to sinful tendencies.
Mere knowledge is useless without execution, so also
activity performed ignorantly is a sheer waste. Knowledge and action should
co-operate with each other to reap success, just as a blind man assisted by a
lame one can successfully live in this world.
In an individual, the spirit self is the real entity,
whereas the physical body is only an external covering. The one who misidentify
the body as the self shall undergo fear everywhere. Spiritual wisdom attained
through divine love alone can release the individual spirit from the worldly
bondage.
A saintly person bestows fearlessness to all the
living beings. Therefore he is never afraid of anyone else.
Mind is responsible for a person’s bondage and
liberation. Worldly attachment of the mind results in bondage, whereas a
dispassionate mind results in liberation.
By faithfully hearing the scriptural narrations from
a competent devotee, a fortunate human being learns righteousness, discards evil
disposition, secures knowledge, and attains liberation and God realization.
Therefore every honest person should regularly hear divine narrations from holy
souls.
Attachment for self-prestige is like a pig’s stool,
desire for honor is like hell, vanity of greatness is intoxication. The one who
discards these three kinds of evils can achieve happiness.
Youthful age, excessive wealth and power are misused
due to the absence of wisdom. These four are the factors that ruin the people .
Holy company alone can save the society from all these perils.
What happiness can there be for the mortal beings who
are always subjected to hundreds of calamities! Foolish people vainly exhibit
egoism to create additional problems. Spiritual culture of devotional
performance alone can bestow permanent solace to the living entities.
Attaining the human body which is the rarest gift of
God, a wise person has to conduct full fledged endeavor to achieve permanent
welfare by crossing the ocean of worldliness, even before the death may
terminate the human life at any moment. This human body although productive of
highest result if properly utilized, yet it is quite transitory and uncertain.
Therefore one should never waste the life time in worthless pursuits. One should
not get entangled in insignificant material pleasures, which are available even
without any effort.
The Supreme Lord is pleased upon the noble souls who
show kind regard to all the living beings, remain contented in all the
circumstances and keep the senses under the control of devotional intellect
Spiritual religion should be followed from the very
young age. It is quite difficult to reform the corrupted mind of a person which
is misguided due to evil company.
Neither any worldly calamity is a calamity, nor any
worldly fortune is a fortune. The real calamity is to forget the Supreme Lord,
the real fortune is the constant remembrance of the Lord.
If the Lord is pleased, an enemy becomes friend,
poison becomes safe diet and even unrighteousness becomes real righteousness.
Whereas if the lord becomes displeased all these shall become vice- versa.
One may undertake to perform austere penance, jump
down from a mountain, visit all the holy places, study the scriptures, conduct
sacrifices or succeed in debates; yet all these achievements cannot save him
from death. It is only the grace of the Supreme Lord that can make one immortal.
Various events like drowning in water, fire accident,
poison, weapon, hunger disease, falling down etc may always happen to terminate
the life of living beings. Possessing such a transitory mortal body the one who
does not try to achieve permanent welfare is quite stupid and unfortunate.
Knowing this temporary worldly existence just like a
mirage, a honest person should associate with holy souls to attain righteousness
and happiness.
The divine scriptures are capable of dispelling
ignorance and doubts, by enlightening about the transcendental reality. The one
who avoids the scriptural study remains blind to the reality and gets lost.
The spiritual realist is the most intelligent person,
as he remains happy in this world as well as in the next world too.
A righteous person offers charity to the deserving
people, intellect at the feet of Supreme Lord, service to the parents, faith in
the words of the preceptor, food for the living beings and fodder to the cows.
The unrighteous acts of dishonoring the noble souls
and glorifying the wicked people result in the three fold calamities like
famine, death and fear for the citizens.
The mortal existence in this finite world lacks in
happiness due to the various limitations like little longevity, little
intelligence, limited resources, little fortune and many shortcomings. Happiness
lies at the Feet of the Supreme, who is infinitely great, infinitely merciful,
infinitely beautiful, infinitely powerful, omniscient, omnipresent and
infinitely glorious. He is the source of all happiness and eternal bliss. One
can reach God only through devotional cultured righteousness life through holy
association.
Rivers can purify a person only after taking ablution
in them whereas saints purify even the sinners just by their presence. Sun and
moon can expel the darkness of the outside world, whereas the holy saints remove
the darkness of the heart and illumine it with divine effulgence. A desire tree
may give various gifts to those who seek for such things, whereas the saints
bestow the eternal gifts of God consciousness and spiritual wisdom to one and
all, even without asking for the same. Therefore, nothing else is as beneficial
to the humanity like a noble saint.
The six types of striking features of the Kaliyuga is that
– donors are lacking in richness, whereas rich people are misers,
sinful
people happen to live long, whereas virtuous people are shirt lived,
the
rulers happen to be low caste, whereas the high caste people are
compelled
to work as servants.
One should treat the mother, father, preceptor and
guests with great reverence.
A preceptor, a relative a father, a mother, an angel
etc , can not be of any real worth if they cannot save their subordinates from
the clutches of mortality through spiritual culture.
The glorious divine narrations are ever sung by all
the liberated souls; these spiritual glories of the Supreme Lord are the
medicine for the disease of worldliness, at the same time they are highly
pleasing to the ears and the hearts of the surrendered souls. Those who keep
away from such a blissful nectar, are the most unfortunate losers.
Charity, vows, penance, sacrifice, meditation,
scriptural study, austerity and all other such virtuous deeds are only the means
to attain devotion to the Supreme Lord.
As long as the heart is steeped in sinful ignorance,
one does not imbibe true faith in the spiritual scriptures and in the holy
preceptor. The spiritual virtue collected through many births in holy company
gets strengthened and finally reach the stage of Divine Love.
Lust, anger and greed are the threefold gateway to
the hell. Those who want to save themselves should avoid these three evils.
Good Conduct and noble behavior result in mutual
trust, friendliness, happiness and universal peace. Bad conduct ruins the
society as well as the country by spreading mistrust, quarrel, distress and
unrest.
Worthy conduct is productive of longevity, wealth,
fame contentment, health, happiness and eternal well being.
Bad Conduct causes enmity, disease, shortness of
life, censure and endless sorrow to the human beings.
The evil qualities like cruelty, lewdness, greed,
intoxication, hypocrisy, falsehood are comparable to devils which empower the
vulnerable ignorant and uncultured human beings who are deprived of holy
association. The foolish possessed by these wickedness inflict harm to the
innocent people of the society while speedily spreading terror and injustice
like a wild fire by availing the help of manpower money-power, arms,
ammunitions, weapons, technology, anti-socials, anti-nationals and all other
corrupted resources. Unless these tendencies are nipped in the bud, it becomes
impossible to save the masses from their spell of destruction.
Cruelty against children and animals, butchery,
dishonoring the elders, eve-teasing, crimes against women, falsehood,
unrighteousness, racial discrimination, mutilating the nature, misappropriating
other’s wealth, stealing, kidnapping, adultery, irresponsibility, carelessness
towards the duty, disregarding and torturing others, corruption, bribery,
madness, audacity, arrogance, intolerance, harming others all these are the
outcome of bad conduct. Therefore, the aspect of character-building should be
given utmost importance from the very childhood, through holy association
Every speaker of truth should conduct regular
introspection about his own behavior as to whether he is acting like a beast or
like a noble person
Heredity and environment are the contributory factors
of character. All the children should therefore be provided with noble heredity
and good environment. Good habits build good character.
Character is the governing element of life and is
above genius
Good character incorporates discipline, politeness,
honesty and generosity
An honest man is the noblest creation of God.
No legacy is so rich, as honesty
Great people are those who have, desire for holy
company, pleasure at other’s greatness, politeness with elders, attachment for
learning, aversion towards evil acts, devotion to the Supreme Lord, endeavor for
self control, detachment from evil association and mission for universal
welfare.
The saintly people are so kind hearted that, even by
accepting self distress, they strive to dispel the suffering of others.
The glory of holy association is beyond enumeration.
It removes the ignorance of the intellect, imparts truthfulness to the speech,
provides nobleness, roots out sinfulness, bestows happiness to the heart,
spreads the glory in all the directions and presents eternal auspiciousness.
When a fortunate person avails holy company as a
result of spiritual virtue accumulated since previous births, all his ignorance,
sinfulness, illusion and misguidance get dispelled and divine wisdom is
integrated in his heart.
Democracy works well when honest candidates are
elected as the rulers by enlightened electorates. Selfish, greedy and
unscrupulous politicians taking recourse to money-power, muscle power and unfair
manipulations when elected as rulers by ignorant and deluded citizens, the
democracy becomes a graveyard of demons and crazies.
Avoid the negative trends like lust, anger, greed,
perversion, discontentment, harshness, envy, pride, grief, attachment, prejudice
and calumny.
The span of human life is so short and the time
available for worthy acts is very little. If a person lives for hundred years,
fifty years are spent in sleep, twenty years in young age and twenty years in
old age. In the active life of ten years one has to look after the activities of
earning, spending, family affairs, entertainment, security, domestic affairs,
social obligations, devotional performances, construction, social service etc.
Due to the all round pressure within a small duration of useful lifetime, it
becomes extremely difficult to take care of ones own spiritual welfare.
Therefore, it becomes imperative to select the main tasks of first priority and
implement the same with utmost sincerity and seriousness. Therefore, it is said
that, whatever is to be done tomorrow should be done today itself; also today’s
work should be done now itself.
It is quite easy to fall down from a hill, whereas
ascending to the peak is a difficult task. Similarly it is quite easy to perform
wicked and destructive activities, whereas constructive and welfare activities
most difficult to accomplish. Even when a person decides to achieve social
welfare, he has to mobilize resources, helpers, expertise, public awareness,
infrastructure, materials etc and should first of all earn appropriate
eligibility to fulfill the committed task. Among millions of human beings,
rarely a few alone shall come forward to dedicate themselves for the cause of
universal welfare, by eschewing their own self interests. Further the obstacles
for holy endeavors are so high that, seldom a social reformer succeeds in
achieving the ultimate fruit of his worthy endeavor in his life time. Therefore,
the welfare activities should be conducted as team work by the dedicated bond of
noble souls. Whatever a previous person has achieved for the social welfare, the
mission should be continued from the stage by the next successors in a
methodical order to bring it to a fruitful conclusion. Then alone the gigantic
tasks of universal welfare can be accomplished by the efforts of honest
spiritualists.
Materialism provides information, whereas
spiritualism provides knowledge. Understanding without experience is
information, realization with experience is knowledge. Information is the
quality of the head, whereas knowledge is the quality of heart. Understanding
without realization is just like keeping a Barron cow.
Human being is a psycho-spiritual entity. Undue attention
for
secular progress and neglecting the higher aspects of life is quite
foolish
like caring for the cage and neglecting the bird. One cannot have real
progress and welfare without understanding the reality of life. Absence
of spiritual wisdom makes human beings equal to criminals. Even the
worldly
possession without spiritual guidance cannot provide peace and
happiness
to anyone. As the spirit soul is permanent it can derive bliss only in
achieving its permanent constitutional situation. Bhakti, Bhakta and
Bhagavan
these three principles alone are eternal and related to each other.
Everything
else in this cosmic universe is temporary. Those who do not conduct
enquiry
about the absolute reality in association with the realized souls and
under
the guidance of revealed scriptures are quite hopeless and despicable.
Foolish people conduct relentless pursuit to collect worldly wealth and
enjoyments in the hope of achieving happiness in life. Most of the
unfortunate
human beings are quite ignorant about the fact that, worldly
attachments
are productive of constant fear, endless pain and total delusion. When
the worldly things like money, power, technology, learning etc are kept
under the control of spiritual wisdom, then alone they can do good to
the
human beings. All the seemingly great fruits of godless secularism and
atheistic materialism fall into the hands of brutal criminals and
destroy
the humanity by spoiling the social order and spreading endless
violence.
· The heart of a sinful, flattering, arrogant person cannot
realize
the Supreme Lord, due to its evils like stealing other’s money, harming
birds and animals, telling lies and using harsh words. The one who
misappropriates
other’s wealth, blames holy saints, discards the worthy acts like
sacrifice
does not give charity, in the mind of such a evil person, Lord Krishna
never dwells.
A virtuous person always strives for others’ welfare.
The following are the several categories of men
1) The noblest person deems others’ welfare itself to be his welfare
and helps others even by sacrificing his own interest
2) Next class of person helps others without jeopardizing his own
interest
3) Third type of person helps others when it also useful for himself
4) Fourth category person thinks of his own priority, without thinking
of others.
5) Still lower class of person does not hesitate to harm others for
achieving his own profit.
6) Next class of person tries to harm others even without any use for
himself.
7) The next class of the most fallen person strives to harm others,
even by harming himself, just like human bombs.
