Day 9
Everything in this world has a nature to it. Religion has a nature. Fire has the nature to burn anything, where ever it goes. A snake has the nature to bite and scare people. Similarly a Rogue has a quarrelsome, aggressive nature and they create hatred wherever they go.
A rogue creates trouble wherever he goes. What category do we fall in? What opinion does the public have about us as a person. Are we gentleman or rogue's in their opinion. Do we create trouble or do we provide solutions? Duryodhana was aggressive in nature and even Sri Krishna could not change him. What is our goodwill in our family, society and country? Do people feel good after hearing our name or do they look to avoid us? What is our recognition?
"A fire is dangerous but when it comes in the company of a wind, it becomes more dangerous"
Similarly a rogue is dangerous and when he gets the support of goodness, he can cause a lot of destruction.
It is okay to lose in a battle than to fall in our nature. Which one do we want to avoid in life - Defeat or Downfall? What is our mentality? Duryodhana and Ravaan never wanted defeat in their life. We have to observe where we are. A flower spreads its fragrance no matter where it is as its nature is to give fragrance. Vibishan was the flower of Lanka.
In order to refrain from becoming a rogue and creating problems, we have to be away from three things:
1. Insistence(आग्रह):
Requiring something and being insistent about something are two different things. In insistence we express our urgency in wanting something. Its like saying, " I must have it". This nature of us will create battle. If we observe the root of our aggressiveness and quarrelsome nature, it is nothing but insistence. We must have "Let Go" Attitude. A river is able to reach the ocean because it has no insistence in its nature but just keeps flowing.
2. Attachment (लगाव):
We are so attached to every little thing in this world. Be it a pen, pencil, clothes or anything, we are more attached to them than people. This attachment also create battle and we become quarrelsome in nature.
3. Ego(अहंकार):
Ego and the feeling of self importance will also create battle and make us a rogue.
A rogue has these three qualities - insistence, attachment and ego which creates battle and hatred everywhere. We should not make our life schedule so tight that no one enter our lives. We are running for the future of our family and ruining their present by not spending time with them.
We have to leave the insistence of being perfect and seeing perfection in everything. Perfection has killed many people. We have to protect and save our Relation and Religion. A wall creates difference between a building and a man and our words create a difference between a gentleman and a rogue. Our ego comes in between and stops us from accepting our mistakes. We always want what is not there. Only our relations will help us during our weak times. If we can't save our relations, we will not be able to save our religion. We have to be like milk in water and not like oil in water.
We can identify a rogue from his words. We have to observe what is our goodwill in our family rather than our name in the world. So lets be away from perfection, insistence, attachment and ego that can ruin our lives. Lets try our best to be in the category of a gentleman rather than a rogue.
