There are tow things that come to test a man – sankat and glory. Problems test our patience, humanity and courage, while glory tests our humanity, courage, politeness and control. Anyone who passes these two tests is great human being.
With adulthood comes rights.
With rights the responsibilities.
If one is responsible then prizes are there but not then he is punished.
A cleaner has small responsibility whereas the captain of a ship has a lot more. All karm are accounted for even if humans have the freedom to make choices and take decisions. There are two sides for everything in this world; day-night, truth-lie, heaven-hell, greed-charity. Both are powerful and attractive. We have to decide which one to follow. Man also has both raakhas and dev qualities.
Humans should have the foundation of truth and search for the truth.
Chapter 2
Why does man not take the path of truth and God?
Because he does nto want to. If one really wants he can change himself e.g. Valmiki, Kalidas etc. one has to think right as well as do right – just one does not work. Character and thought are two strengths of humans.
Chapter 3 – Yog and Tap
The five qualities that are a must for a great human being:
- Hard work
- Mit vyayita
- Shaalinta
- Sehkarita
- Sangharsh shilta
Discipline and love should be balanced, excess of anything is bad.
Chapter 4 – Soul
Knowledge is supreme. Understand yourself – aatm gyaan. Four things hold a person tightly:
- Old values
- Present information/experience
- Love of close ones
- Environment
Atma and body have each their purpose. Just like father wants his son to do his will, god also wants that from his creation. Vaisudev kutumbhkam – see yourself in everyone and everyone in you. The whole world is one big family. If you have a good view on life – then you can find good in everything. Love everyone – bhakti generates love in people.
Chapter 5 – Dharm
These days the meaning of dharm has been changed. Dharm has become religion but dharm really is your duty. Dharm is:
- Truth and intelligence
- Control and responsibility
- Maryadapaalan and discipline
- Saujanya and parakram
- Sekhaar and parmaarth
Two kinds of dharm – religious and duty. But if humans do duty with religion then it is the best dharm.
Chapter 7 – upaasna, saadhna and araadhna
There are many things that come in threes:
- World: God – Human – Nature
- God: Bhrama – Vishnu – Mahesh
- Human Body: Sthool – suksham – kaaran
- Goals: Satya – chitta – aanand
- Thathya: Saytam – Shivam – sundaram
- Worlds (lok): Devlok – Dharti
- (3 – gun)
Nisha | Pragya | Shraddha |
| exists in sthul | exists in sukshm | exists in Kaaran |
| Is Upaasna | Is Saadhna | Is Araadhna |
| Is Brahm | Is Life | Is the World |
Sit next to God make life changes seva dharm for good of the world
You get strength from this sun, moon, rivers – they all do seva
Once you give, you will see you have more.
