Nitivaakyam - Day 10

                                                             Day 10

There are two kinds of areas in life, one is the world and the other is religion. Even after having power in religion, we don't want to go forward in it but we want to run in this world even when there is not enough power. We underestimate ourselves in the field of religion.



There are four things we need to check:

1. Check Your Holiness(पुण्य):
We keep taking risk in this world, but have we checked our goodness or our holiness? After every sunrise there will be a sunset, after light there will be darkness, after happiness there will be sorrow also. When your son is not ready to listen to you, understand that your goodness and holiness are lacking. At that point, all you have to do is do nothing at all and the situation will improve. Results will show up only when there is goodness.


"By doing nothing, everything is done"

2. Check Your Manliness(पुरषार्थ):

Along with our goodness, we have to also check our manliness and the limits of our strength. Today's generation is becoming old, have slip disc problems at the age of forty. They are continuously working for money without any rest. Even if we have goodness, we cannot do anything without manliness. So we have to keep checking our manliness.
"Anything in excess is poison" 

We have to stop ourselves somewhere, no matter how big the greed! Today, going to clubs and parties late night has become a trend. Where are we heading towards? The person who does not control in times of strength will be left helpless in the time of weakness. There will be nothing left. We must not take risk where we don't have the ability. 

3. Check Your Worthiness(पात्रता या योग्यता):


We must understand our worthiness and learn to say "NO"  before accepting anything from anyone. Though we have goodness and manliness, are we worthy? Have we checked our worthiness? The world is on fire as we don't have enough worthiness and we keep expecting. Our enjoyment and happiness is only for us but our good qualities will help everyone. Our sins will disturb only us but our bad qualities will disturb everyone. Why do we want to disturb everyone? We have to check the limits of our worthiness. When it rains, the amount of water we collect depends on the size of the vessel we use to collect the water. 

After having all these qualities of Holiness, Manliness and Worthiness, we need the grace of God which backs all of these. We must not underestimate ourselves in the area of religion and start taking some risk. 

"We close the window when it smells. Similarly we have to close the window of our mind from where bad thoughts come inside".
