ForewordSphoorti Padham is a wonderful composition of wisdom of pearls that

are picked up from various ancient books of our culture. Sri B S Sarma ji hasbeen known for his inclination towards the Dharmic progress of the country,spirituality and social service. Having been active through various social andspiritual organisations, he had penned a few of his thoughts on these shlokasthat he chose to throw some light on, which make the readers think.

The book is full of directions and principles which act as a guide andconstant inspiration to all its readers. This is worth carrying wherever we goand use it as a ready reckoner, just to open and swallow a pill of inspiredthought. I am sure it will make us think and act intelligently and also save usfrom becoming the victims of various challenging situations.

The first shloka opens with the letter ‘a’ and deals with ‘annam’, food. Itsays anna-danam as a great charity. It is worthy to start with a note remindingus of two important things of life, one is food and second is charity. We canbring out many facets of the above simple looking thought.

First of all, Annam is that which is consumed. It is consumable food andall beings depend on it. Our physical bodies are called as ‘annamaya shareera’,i.e. our bodies are nothing but the modification of food. It is on food that thewhole world is depending. It is for sake of food that all the beings are carryingon their worldly activities. Alas, minus hunger in this world, the world wouldcome to a standstill. While Anna daanam is noble, Vidya daanam, which isdonating knowledge is more superior and quenches the intellectual thirst. Thisbook is quenching such intellectual thirst of its readers.

Each of these 108 slokas convey different messages and make us think,give us directions, inspire us, remind us of the priorities and help us handlechallenges of life. I believe that these 108 slokas are a good compilation ofalmost majority of the situations and challenges we face in life. I sincerely urge

IV©akshagna publications


all youngsters to imbibe these messages, memorise these slokas and use thewisdom narrated in them for their successful life progress.

While each sloka can take more than an hour to convey its real message,Sharmaji’s attempt at conveying the message in a precise form is highlycommendable. Sanskrit is such a language which has the ability to conveyseveral meanings in each of its word and sentence. Readers may dwell deeperinto each of these slokas and look for more profound and other interpretations.

The anecdotes and examples chosen for some of the slokas are very aptand help convey the meaning of the sloka. Sharmaji chose these slokas keepingin view the day-to-day challenges we all face in our life. The English translationalso is lucid and apt. This endeavour is like a Gnyana (knowledge) yagna.

Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji in his Geeta commentarytranslated the word ‘Yagna’ as the cooperative endeavor. This means, each onelives for the totality, contributing his or her might to the society. Thiscontribution is charity and without charity there would not be progress oftotality at all. Charity means, not only the money that we offer to the needy, buteverything that is required by the society for its progress and prosperity.Whatever we are capable of contributing, we must contribute is the messagefor social harmony, beauty, prosperity and progress.

I am sure all the readers will think on each and every shloka and learn toapply the pearls of wisdom that are available in this beautiful book to enrichthemselves as well as the world around them.

I congratulate Sarmaji for this initiative which benefits all the readers.

May God bless the writer and the readers. May the ancient wisdom ofour rishis and saints flourish and spread through the efforts of Sharmaji.

Regards

-Swami Chidrupananda

Wisdom Is Different From Learning And Education

In the past few decades India’s education system has lost the purposewhich is to make the young ignite their intelligence, cultivate inquiry andbecome not only learned but become wise too. Choosing answers to questionsand memorising certain facts cannot be education. Getting 90% to 100% is notindicative of one’s learning and development of the faculty to think, to inquireand to excel in whatever profession one chooses and is engaged in.

The Guru Sishya Sampradaya in our traditional education system wasinstilling the spirit of inquiry and learning by observation and thinking. OurRishis and Gurus and inspired poets like Valmiki and Vyasa; Kalidasa andBarthrihari have put that wisdom that they had gained by observation, byexperience and by instructing others into beautiful Sooktis, aphorisms. Ourgreat poet Nannaya ,while rendering the Vyasa Mahabharata into Telugu, hasdescribed the Mahabharata as nana ruchirardha sookti nidhi, a vast mine ofwisdom put into myriad aphorisms. Sri Bhamidipalli Subrahmanya Sarma hascollected 108 Sooktis containing Slokas from our great Sanskrit literature bothin Devanagari and Telugu script and given their explanation and expansionswhere necessary. The effort is commendable. Our Gurus have been impressingupon us the good that will come if we get these by heart, understand theirmeaning and examine our actions in the light of the wisdom that these sooktisare conveying. The wisdom that they promote is a result of centuries of learningand observation and experience of the learned. This compilation will be ofimmense use for those who want to be leading lights in the society. I congratulateSri Sarma at the excellent effort.

Verses for all occasions

Poetry is rightly said to be a lovely message delivered by one’s belovedand it is meant to educate the recipient. It need not be a long poem running intopages but a mere stanza would do. Indian literature has made a uniquecontribution in this regard. Didactic verses for all occasions abound in ancientIndian literature, particularly in the Sanskrit literature. These are small stanzasor couplets and easily memorisable. There have been several anthologies ofsuch verses by several writers but they are never adequate. There is always aplace for a new anthology, depending on the purpose for which the verses areselected. The present collection by Sri B.S.Sarma is one such.

The anthology takes into account the value system prevailing nowand tries to attract the young by providing certain motivational verses forthem. These verses are not meant to merely moralize but to enable the reader toface the realities of life. For instance there are verses with messages such as“effects of improper punishment”, “sources of learning”, “eternal cry babies”,“right use of time” , “national interest is paramount” and so on. The author hasselected 108 verses and has elaborated on them, giving a contemporaneousexplanation. The verses are eternal truths, rendering themselves suitable for acontemporary commentary and thus remain alive for all times.

Sri Sharma has given such topically relevant explanation withoutsarcasm or caustic comments. The explanation makes a pleasant reading. AsAlexander Pope said –

“Men should be taught as if you taught them not

And things unknown proposed as things forgot."

Most of the verses are naturally from Panchatantra and Hitopadesa.In fact the verses from these two works are also mostly from older sources likeMahabharata. The epic Mahabharata has innumerable verses for all occasions.

There is an old saying – ∆oöÁzNz˛å úÊugo:

A person was considered a scholar if he knew one hundred verses. Ifthese verses are educative in nature, containing the ageless wisdom of oursages, what else does a person need? He will indeed be a successful person inlife. The verses in this anthology are meant to produce such successful menand women. I congratulate Sri Sharma for a very topical and interestinganthology.

Relentless efforts (Translator’s note)

As events unfold in each of our lives, there will be some memories suchevents leave in our minds. Do we allow them to remain as some faintmemories or do we enhance such moments and give them greaterlongevity is in our hands. One such important milestone is coming up forSri B S Sarma Garu when he is superannuating from his job in Aug 2016.Another party, another photo-op and a few speeches would be the routinefor a normal retiree, but not for Sarmaji. His relentless and selfless socialservice and service in the national causes, only made him think of doingsomething useful to the society at large. To give purpose to this eventhappening in his life‚ he has cherry picked 108 Slokas or pearls of wisdomfrom various sources of ancient Indian literature and has brought themout in the form of an easily readable book.

These 108 Sanskrit Slokas may sound simple at 1st reading but theycontain enormous wisdom acquired by our ancient Rishis, Munis, Saints,Poets and law givers of our glorious antiquity. They presented great truthsand their advises in very simple and apt ways. Sarmaji translated theseSanskrit Slokas into Telugu in a style that is so unique only to him. Hedid not do a simple translation but applied those messages to the presentworld and current situations and proved how such ancient truths are asrelevant even to this day. Through these translations, he established thefact that ancient Indian wisdom is for eternity and for all humanity.I wasgiven the honor to translate these Slokas into English. Neither am I anexpert in Sanskrit nor am I an English language professional.

Giridhar Mamidichartered accountant



Nevertheless, I tried my best in translating these Slokas to the best ofmy understanding and limitations of my command on both languages.

Language as we know is a product of a culture and collective wisdom ofa civilization. What I discovered during this process was that Sanskritcan NEVER be translated into any other language fully. Sanskrit languagereflects the richness, depth, maturity and greatness of our SanaatanaDharma. No other language comes anywhere closer to its richness andmaturity. Any translation done can at best be a suggestive, indicative ora partial rendition only. Words like Punyam, Moksham and Karma cannever be translated into English. Even a word like Guru is not the sameas a teacher. Given such limitations of English how much can we expectit to match the beauty and wisdom of Sanskrit? Today we only have onegrammar or Vyakarna of Sanskrit known to us. Hanuman is credited tohave known all the 9 Vyakarnas of Sanskrit. Just imagine what eachsuch Vyakarna would do to each of these Slokas. We not just get differentangles of meanings to each Sloka but it is believed that some of thoseVyakarna are such that reading any word from such a grammar wouldgive a “darshan”, experience of the word.

I hope and pray that Sri Sarmaji continues to serve Maa Bhaarati for avery long time to come as he has been doing now for many decades.

Pragna Bharati is happy to support Sarmaji’s efforts in publishing thisbook and we hope that these 108 pearls of wisdom shall be of great helpto its readers in their daily life.

Offering food to the needy is surely noble.Better still is gifting them knowledge and education.Hunger is satisfied for some time, but the knowledgeimparted would last a life time and beyond.

Any quick fix freebie has a limited utility and is nevera long term solution. The politicians who dole out freebiesfrom the exchequer get instant results and votes but thereal statesmen look to teaching them the art of earning theirown bread, which would last not just their life time but goesfar beyond into their future generations as well. The opiumof living off gratuities and charities would addict and enslavepeople, making them lazy and dependent; but the nectar ofknowledge and wisdom would unshackle them of slavery,laziness and dependence and take them to self-confidence,positivity and self-reliance

1. IMPARTING KNOWLEDGE IS FAR NOBLER THAN OFFERING FOOD.

If the King does not punish those that deservepunishment or punishes those that are innocent,such a King gets a bad name and also goes to hell.

To control the natural instinct of selfishness in thesociety, punishment is an essential aspect as stated byChanakya. However, this sloka refers to the effects ofimproper use of this power of the Ruler. If a culprit is letfree without being punished, it emboldens others to followhim and commit more crimes. If an innocent is punishedwrongly, that too sends a message of incompetence ortyranny of the King. The ruler not just loses the faith of hissubjects, he will also have to face punishment in hell.

This sloka says that nobody or nothing is useless. Atworst they may be used less. All prayers and Mantras areformed by some alphabet or other. Every single root hassome medicinal value and it is just waiting to be discoveredif already not known. Even those people who areconsidered useless, can serve some useful purpose if theirabilities are properly tapped by a capable supervisor. It isvery difficult to get such a person who can utilize evenseemingly useless things or people.

One should not go empty handed to the followingplaces – Yagnam (Prayer place), going home from atour, going to pilgrimages, going to see pregnantwoman, children or old people, while going to seethe King, God or Guru (Teacher/ Master)

This sloka elaborates the people or places wherewe should not go empty handed. Going to a Yagna weshould carry something useful there. Yagna is a public affairand can only succeed if it is well funded and supported byone and all. Similarly, while going to see a king, a temple, asaint or our Guru or teacher with a bunch of fruits whichwould help them redistribute them to larger public that visitsthem. Children, pregnant ladies and elderly people will bepleased to receive gifts, especially food items. Going backhome empty handed after a long trip also is not in goodtaste.

Those that seek wealth or knowledge should continueto do so as if they would be living for eternity. In mat-ters of charity and giving, one should behave in sucha manner that he is being dragged by the hair by theGod of death as if one is not sure of his existence thenext minute.

Wealth creation is always an unending process andage should not be a bar ever. Old age or infirmity shouldnot be a reason for stopping our pursuit of knowledge andlearning. Even at ripe old age, one should be like anyoungster in enthusiasm and desire to know more. But inmatters of charity, delaying it even for a minute can end usup in eternal regret. We may never again get that opportunityto serve or give again. When the occasion shows up for usto give, we should grab it as if there is no next moment andproceed to give to our might.

Someone who does not assist or work, one who eatsexcessively, one who nobody likes, one who iscunning, one who is a sadist, one who is disconnectedwith place and time and one who is improperly dressedshould not be encouraged as a guest at home.

There is great importance to hospitality in SanaatanaDharma. Yet there are some restrictions on the type ofguests we should avoid hosting at our homes. This slokadescribes the qualities of a guest whose presence isdetrimental to our peace. Hosting an anti-social element orhosting a person detested by all would only add to ourtroubles.

Thinking that I have done no wrong and so Iwill come to no harm is wisdomless. The troublemakers and evil people constantly keep harassing andcausing troubles and impediments to us all the while.

This sloka is rendered by Sarangadhara. He is warningus not to be complacent assuming that we only did good allthe time and did no wrong. Those that want to harm us arenot so righteous that they will leave us alone for ourgoodness. Our nation suffered foreign rule and subjugationsince the past many centuries when our enemies waged manyunethical, unholy and immoral wars on us and we tried todeal with them from our sense of morality and fair play inwarfare. Pritviraj pardoned Md Ghori keeping in mind thevirtues of a winning King but Md Ghori did not return thefavor when he defeated Prithviraj. He mercilessly humiliatedand killed him. Nehru trusted that China will respect hisPanchsheel and not attack India but China did just theopposite by backstabbing him.

The twig of an Ebony tree burns in aglorious blaze in a short time. The husk fire burnslike an ember for a long time giving out smoke. A lifelived like a smoking ember for long period is not asgood as a life lived, even if short, like a blaze of brightfire.

Kunti Devi advises her son Dharmaraja to live a lifeof honor, dignity and virtue. She sends this message throughLord Krishna where she narrated the story of a lady byname Vidula. Kunti was referring to this sloka told by Vidulawho advised her son similarly and told him to go back tothe battlefield and either win or attain glory. Kunti, throughthis Vidula story intended to advise Dharmaraja to wage ablazing and glorious war with Kauravas.

Swami Vivekananda and Adi Shankaracharyalived short lives and blazed paths of glory for all futuregenerations to remember and revere them. How manyinsignificant lives do we remember of people who somehowmanaged to live up to 100 years but did nothing otherwise?

As we look down at things below our stature wecould feel proud. As we look up at things above ourstature we could feel poorer, small or humbled.

This sloka tells us to evaluate which things to compareourselves with and consequences of such comparisons.Looking down upon people below our stature would makeus feel happier for our relative prosperity while looking upat luckier and better-off people might make us feel low andsad.

The sloka also can be interpreted that noblemen look down in humility and so are contended whilearrogant men look up and walk with pride. The advice isalso to properly decide which way to look under eachsituation. Sometimes looking up might give us motivationand inspiration to want to achieve what others have achieved.Looking down upon lesser privileged people might alsoremind us of our responsibilities to help them come up.

12. COMPARABILITY RULES

23




A small and narrow minded man counts somepeople as his own and thinks others are not his ownpeople. A broadminded, noble soul considers the wholecreation as his family.

Ours versus others is a concept that has created mostof the conflicts in the world. The moment we do not considerothers as our own or consider them to be adversaries, weare in conflict with them. Noble men look beyond peripheraldifferences like religion, caste, beliefs, tribe, race and gender.While some religions believe “My God is the only true Godand all other Gods are false Gods”, Sanaatana Dharmabelieves that “God is the only truth, belongs to all and allways and prayers lead to him only”. This exclusivity of otherreligions has resulted in many major conflicts and bloodshedin the world history. Our inclusive approach is the bestantidote to such rabid sectarian and divisive thoughts.

Loyalty and love to his master, clean hands(corruption free), capable, knowledgeable, awarenessof contemporary affairs, good, pleasant personalitywith ability and command in positive and expressivecommunication, the one who possesses these qualitiesis praised by the master.

An emissary represents his sovereign country beforeother Governments. This sloka is from Ramayana whichdefines the qualities of an emissary. Lord Hanuman was anemissary of Lord Rama in the court of Ravana. These qualitieswere displayed by him which have set a benchmark for allcontemporary ambassadors and emissaries. These qualitiesare also applicable in the corporate world where eachrepresentative of the Company has to display these qualitiesif they have to do justice to their role of representing thatCompany.

In a hundred year life, half of it is wasted insleep, a quarter of the rest is lost in childhood and oldage while the rest of the quarter is wasted in strugglingto earn livelihood, sickness, troubles of life and in otherpressures. Where are the moments of happiness to aman in his life which itself is no more than a wave?

This sloka by Bhartruhari warns us of wasting our lifeand not focusing on things that are more important for ourown peace, happiness and progress. The productive timeavailable to people is very short as significant part of theirlife is lost in sleep, childhood and unproductive old age. Eventhe so called productive years too are wasted in constantstruggle for survival and mad race in wealth acquisition,staving off ill-health and fighting out life challenges. He isadvising us not to lose sight of higher goals in the din ofroutine life struggles.

Age (longivity), finances, household disputes,personal secrets, mantras, medicines being used,prayers, charities and embarrassments are the ninesecrets which should not be openly and freely discussedwith everyone unless needed.

This sloka advises us to keep secrets in nine aspects.If secrets are revealed to people at large, especially wrongpeople openly, it could lead us to troubles and unhappiness.But these nine aspects have to be revealed in appropriateforums or people. Our medical history and age have to berevealed to Doctor. Our financial details have to be revealedto tax authorities. Our charities have to be revealed to childrenand other admirers who could benefit and get motivated bythem.

A quarter of learning is from the teacher, a quarterfrom the student’s own efforts and intellect, anotherquarter from his co-students and society and the lastquarter of learning comes with time and experience.

This sloka tells us that learning comes not from anysingle source but from many quarters. A teacher, parentor an educational institute give only a quarter of a person’sknowledge. Another quarter is earned by the students’own efforts, understanding and intellect. Interactions withco-student’s or other learned people in the society helpshim to acquire another quarter of his knowledge. The finalquarter of his knowledge acquisition comes with time andexperience as life, nature, fate and circumstances teachhim the balance lessons.

Education gets ruined by laziness, money givento others is as good as lost. Inferior seeds cause loss tothe crop and lack of leadership decays the army.

Even mighty armies succumbed to smaller butdetermined attackers due to loss of able leaders. Ithappened to the mighty Vijayanagara army in the face ofassassination of its king Rama Raya by his own Muslimsoldiers, resulting in his big army refusing to fight the Bahmanikings and surrendering to them. This happened to IbrahimLodhi who lost the 1st battle of Panipat to Babur in spite ofhaving 1 lakh strong army to Babur’s army of 10,000.

Shadow at dawn is long but keeps diminishing as theday progresses till noon time by when it is at itsshortest. This is like how friendship with evil peoplestart with a bang but shrinks in time. The shadow thatstarts at noon grows steadily to its longest by dusk,which is the ideal way. So should a good friendshipgrow steadily in time.

Steady growth of friendship is ideal and desirable. Arapid and aggressive growth of friendship in the initial stagescould lead to problems in the later stages. The poet comparesthe growth of friendship to the way the shadow grows duringthe day.

Arguments beyond friendly banter, commercialdealings or money related tie-ups and loose talk aboutthe spouse of your friend have to be studiously avoidedif one is desirous of a long and strong friendship.

If differences between friends lead to arguments, sucharguments are best avoided. One might win such argumentsbut would lose the friend. This rule applies not just to friendsbut also among relatives or among co-workers, peers, clients,customers or superiors in work spaces. Financialinvolvements among friends are best avoided as money isthe root cause of many discords and breakages inrelationships. Even if a friend confides his marital differences,it is best to avoid talking ill or low of his spouse as thatwould lead to suspicion and disapproval from him in duecourse. Having a good friend is the easier part, retaining himis the tougher part.

Holding the expenditure line below the earningsis the only real wise knowledge, the real skill and thereal virtue.

Staying within the earning limits is the best virtue onecan have, be it an individual, a corporation or entity or evena nation. Wisdom lies in not spending more than what theyearn. Though sounding simple, this advice is very critical toavoid wasteful consumerism and staying debt free. Lack offiscal prudence ruins many families, corporations (Enron,Arther Anderson etc) and nations (Greece) and make themfall into harsh times and even into bankruptcy.

Oh! Brahma, write any fate that you may wish to writeon my forehead. I beg of you to never write, neverwrite, never write my fate which makes me perform infront of a tasteless person without esthetics.

This is a sloka rendered by Sriharsha. He says thatthere can never be a bigger torture than a talented poet orartist having to perform before tasteless persons withoutany understanding or esthetics of such an art. This plays outoften when chief guests invited for such functions turn out tobe un-esthetic and have no knowledge of the art form theywere invited to preside over. If the artist faces anappreciative audience, their enthusiasm and interest in theirperformance increases manifold. On the contrary, if theyface a disinterested audience, there cannot be anything moretorturous than that.

The jealous man, an excessive sympathizer orhater, one who lacks contentment, one who isaggressively angry, an eternal doubter and a leachwho survives on others sweat are all those six typesof people that are sad all the time.

This sloka was rendered by Vidura to Dhritarshtranarrating the main causes for sadness. All these aspectsare self-driven and so the solution to avoid sadness lies inour own hands in avoiding the pitfalls of these behaviors.

Each one has to self-develop himself, he shouldnot degenerate, each one is a best friend to himselfand each one is an enemy to himself.

This sloka is not just a good management lesson butit is also a good advice for the advancement of soul.Development is always self-motivated. Every person has tomake his own efforts to develop and grow. All other outsidersare just additional help. No one can be a better friend orcritic than his own inner conscience. This rule not only appliesto mundane life but also to efforts in the pursuit of eternalbliss and growth of the soul.

Efforts (opposite of laziness), bravery (boldness),fearlessness, problem-solving capabilities, power orenergy and valor are the six qualities that are neededin a man if he hopes to get the support of God.

If one hopes to seek support of God or luck, he shouldpossess six qualities listed in this sloka. Shivaji Maharajexemplified such an ideal person who possessed all suchqualities. He was brave enough to penetrate deep into thearmy of Shahistakhan, fearless enough to attack him, smartenough to plan a successful attack on a stronger man andhad the knack of getting out safely. No wonder BhavaniMata blessed this great son of Bharat with a sword.

Great efforts and hard work only yield results and notjust dreams. A sleeping lion cannot expect his pray toenter his mouth.

Expecting results or success without straining for itand purely based on one’s status or family linage does notwork. No student can hope to break into premier institutionsunless he burns his midnight oil. No employee can expectincrements, incentives or promotions purely based on hisdesignation unless he works hard to achieve targets set forhim. A lion has to work hard and run faster than his pray ifhe hopes for any food.

Noblemen get angry but for a fleeting moment, theaverage men hold their anger for a few hours, the worseof men hold their anger for a day and night but thesinners hold their anger throughout their lives tilltheir end.

The sloka grades anger based on the time people holdit. For a fleeting moment for a noble man to holding it alifelong for a sinner, the duration people hold their angervaries. Nobler we grow, shorter would be our anger andthat too only for the intention of correcting others. Converselyas people start retaining anger for longer time, they startdiminishing in their nobility and start holding anger for hateor vengeance.

Big buildings decay with internal strife, a longfriendship could end with one harsh word, a nationloses when it gets one bad king, with one bad deedyears of glory and honor vanish.

It takes many years, hard work and many strugglesto build an imposing building, friendship, nation or honorbut one wrong deed or misjudgment results in the loss ofsuch hard earned asset. The sloka is warning all of us to bevigilant, not to let our guard down and constantly work onpreserving what we could have taken years to build. Ourjob does not end after creating a building, friendship, nationor honor. Vigilance is the price of success.

A bride looks for the physical attributes of thegroom, the bride’s mother worries about the groom’sfinancial stability, the bride’s father focuses on thevirtues of the groom’s family, the relatives of the brideare more concerned about commonalities of thecommunity or tribe while the other guests areconcerned about the hospitality and food at thewedding.

This sloka discusses the different priorities differentpeople have during a wedding. Opinion of each person hasits importance. While each of them may be correct in theirown way, the whole truth is their collective consensus. Thesloka also reminds us that a marriage is not just a union oftwo people but a union of two larger families and groups inaddition to the bride and the groom.

The intelligent man amuses himself with poetryor other intellectual discussions to spend his free time,while a fool either spends his time fighting andarguing or sleeping.

The discerning man does not waste his free time butindulges in quality discussions on matters related to poetry,literature, knowledge based topics or other useful andinformative issues. The fools and the lazy spend time inuseless talks often involving arguments or fights signifyingnothing or related to useless or trivial matters. If they arenot so wasting their time, they spend a bulk of their freetime sleeping. Time lost can never be regained. Hence theadvice is to ensure that any free time available is not wastedin useless debates but utilize it for knowledge acquisition.

The doer, the organizer, the inspirer and the onewho supports are all equal partners in any deed eithergood or bad.

This sloka tells us that for any deed, there will be fourpartners and all of them share equal responsibility and results.If a temple is being constructed, the workers who build, thebuilder who has undertaken the work, the motivators behindthe cause and all the supporters who may not havecontributed physically or financially also share the Punyam.When a terrorist kills people, not just he but his handlers,his indoctrinators, his financiers and all his sympathizers sharethe burden of guilt equally.

Crow and nightingale both look black but comespring the true colors are seen, crow remains a crowbut a nightingale differentiates itself.

This sloka tells us not to judge people by mereappearances. We could get deceived by appearances.When the time comes, the real nature and talent of peoplecomes out and they stand out among the seemingly similarothers. A crow and a nightingale are both black but a crowcan never match the melody of a nightingale.

As a doctor, treatment given to a patient nevergoes waste. It could give him punyam (for having donehis duty), he could earn a friend, he could earn glory,fame and recognition, he could earn good money orwealth and if not anything else, he would earnexperience.

This sloka was written by Sushruta, the ancientsurgeon of Bharat. He advises doctors to never stop treatingtheir patients even if they do not see monetary benefits inthe same. He is advising that money alone should not be thedriving factor for a doctor. His efforts will never go wastebut will yield results in some form or other.

At times he sleeps on the floor and when possiblehe sleeps on a soft bed. At times he eats uncooked fruitsand vegetables and when possible he would treathimself to a full square grand meal. At times he maywear torn and shabby cloths and when possible hecould wear grand attires. He who is focused onachieving his objectives does not care for his ownpersonal comforts or discomforts, joys or sorrows.

The ability to adjust and be accommodative is veryimportant when one wishes to seriously pursue higherobjectives. Such nature is needed for people wishing to jointhe armed forces or other such service oriented jobs.Organizations like the RSS, NCC and others impart thiskind of training to groom people to learn to beaccommodative. This nature is also needed when going ontours in larger groups where the success would depend onthe ability of all the travelers in making such adjustments.Rigidity and non-accommodative nature makes the persona loner and distracts him from his focus and priorities.

Karna gave his skin (when he donated hisnatural shield and ear studs), Sibi gave his flesh (tosave the life of a bird), Jeemootavahana offered himself(to Garuda to save the lives of other serpents),Dadheechi gave his spinal cord (for the making ofweapon Vajra of Lord Indra), like how these havesacrificed, what have the great men not sacrificed anddonated?

There is no limit to donate. This sloka speaks aboutthe great sacrificial donations made by great men in history.Great people have offered even their body parts for thebenefit of others. This sloka encourages us to donate blood,eyes and other parts of our body in the cause of others.

O King, for the conduct of Yagna, wedding, inthe face of a calamity, in the cause of a war withenemy, in the cause of seeking recognition, in thepursuit of friendship, on the lady love and in thecause of relatives in distress, any amount of moneyspent is never excessive and you will not be blamedas being a spendthrift.

The sloka lists eight causes in the service of otherswhere even excessive spending is not considered asspendthrift.

An evil person looks critically into others’mistakes eventhough they are as minute as a mustardseed, but he is not bothered about his own faults thatare in the size of a wood apple.

This sloka reminds us of how people with bad intentionstend to ignore their own major flaws but go after minuteflaws of others. We see many countries with poor record ofhuman rights or respect for democratic institutions givinglectures to more matured and civilized countries, wishing awaytheir own flaws. We see many politicians moralizing andaccusing their opponents for even minor issues while theirown pedigree could be a lot worse.

39. LOOK INTO YOUR FAULTS FIRST

No one makes the efforts of finding out the truththemselves but blindly follow what someone else hasdone. I (the saint) lost my copper pot in the severalSivalingas on the banks of Ganga.

Someone, somewhere start something and masses justkeep following them blindly without going into the merits ofsuch an action. This sloka is telling us not to blindly andirrationally follow others but to use our discretion and toevaluate the pros and cons of what is being followed.

The sloka refers to a story where a saint put his copperbowl filled with his savings in the sand and made a Sivalingaof sand on top of it hoping to distract the potential thieveswhile he bathed. When he returned from his bath, he foundthe shore full of Shivalingas as all other visitors thought thatmaking a Sivalinga before bath is the practice. The saint lostall his money in the several Sivalingas that sprouted on thebanks of Ganga as a blind following of what he did.

Wisemen do not brood over the past nor do theyworry about the future. They live in the present (andso are at peace).

Water that has flown down the bridge will never comeback. Our future is still a long way away. What is the pointin wasting our energies in both these matters? This slokatells us that focusing to live a useful, purposeful and peacefulpresent is the best way to be at peace with ourselves.

Break pots, tear your clothes or bray like a donkey ordo anything and everything just to ensure you getpublic attention by all means.

This sloka humourises how some people do strangeand funny things just to stay in the limelight. Some politiciansof today do weird things and make outlandish statementseveryday just to ensure they get media and public attention.Once the day passes, they do not give any more importanceto that issue. Such people do not feel any sense of shame asstaying in limelight is more important for them than behavingin a dignified way. Shoe-throwers at meetings, peoplereturning awards on flimsy grounds are a few examples.

43. ATTENTION AT ANY COST

Like how we have to take even a bitter medicine to becured from disease, so should we seek the services ofeven an adversary if he is wise and capable. A goodfriend may also need to be kept out if he is detrimentalto our interests, very much like how one loses a fingerto save the rest of the body from a snake bite poisonspreading.

Personal friendships and adversity come secondaryto national interests. In the national interests, if even anadversary can be of help, he should be utilized. As PM,PVN Rao had deputed AB Vajpayee the then leader ofopposition to represent India at the UN as he wanted toutilize his talent.

Till a calamity befalls us, we have to be fearfuland take all precautions till then, but once thecalamity falls on us, we should not have any fearwhatsoever and act accordingly to survive and tideover such a crisis.

This sloka advises us the limits of fear, till when shouldwe have fear and when should we be fearless. Fear isimportant as it makes us take all precautions to avoidproblems and troubles. But once we are faced with suchcrisis which could not be prevented, we should stop fearingand act boldly. Timidity will be disastrous in times of crisis.

Oh dear friend, do not live at a place where there isno money lender, doctor, erudite teacher or a perennialriver flowing.

This sloka speaks about the basic requirements for adecent living. It goes to show how each village was mostlyself-sufficient in the olden days and due to breakdown ofsuch basics, large scale migration to cities is happening inthe recent times.

Trees bear the burden of flowers, fruits andleaves, bear the brunt of the heat of sunlight, bearthe vagaries of wind and rain, yet give shade, fruitsand flowers to others and thus submit all of themselvesin the service of others. They stand as Guru / teacher,to those who are charitable.

Charitable nature, pleasant but appropriate talk,bravery and ability to take proper decisions at the mostappropriate time and place are the four qualities thatare latent in some men, which come to them by birthand not so much as an acquired trait.

Some qualities lie dormant in the DNA of some people.Once stimulated due to circumstances, they flourish andexpand. Such qualities are inherent and not artificiallyacquired. This sloka defines such latent qualities.

Money has three attributes – can be donated, can beenjoyed or can be lost. Those that do not donate orenjoy it are condemned to lose it.

This sloka describes how money has to be “used”either in charity or in personal use, failing which it shall belost, very much like how food decays if it is neither donatednor consumed.

Happy are those who abandon shyness in financialmatters, in matters of seeking knowledge, in mattersof food and in matters of intimacy.

What are the issues on which one should not feel shyand be frank, open and blunt? Shyness is like an ornamentwhich is good at times or in some places. But shyness inmatters of money, property, business and financial dealingswill lead to pecuniary losses or dent a hole in our pockets.If one is shy in matters of knowledge and education or inseeking clarifications or clearing doubts, we will be thelosers. When one is hungry or has any restrictions in fooddue to medical reasons, would feeling shy help? Being frankand open about either wanting food or wanting to avoid itwould help us a lot. Being shy in matters of intimacy andpersonal relationships also does not help in nurturing andsustaining them. Abandoning shyness in such matters willgive peace and happiness.

Far yet not far, near yet and not near – thosewho are far in distance yet close to our heart are neverfar away from us. Those who are next to us mightstill be far away from us if they have no place in ourhearts.

Distances do not count in genuine bondage andproximity does not count in discorded relationships. Truelovers, relatives, friends and soulmates are always with usall the time through thick and thin. Those who do not meananything to us matter nothing to us even if they are seatednext to us and the vibes between such people reflect amassive distance gap. This sloka says that the distance to afriend is not measured in miles but proximity to the heart.

Long association at work could lead to lust andlust would lead to anger which in turn would lead toirrational behavior and makes a person lose his balanceand self-esteem and ultimately fail in his life.

Climbing a mountain is tough but to roll down is easy.Building the character of a person is an uphill task while itdoes not take much effort to lose it. People with great potentialand capabilities have withered out in the face of their personalshortcomings or love for their personal priorities or love fortheir family.

Desires don’t extinguish if enjoyed. They growvery much like how fire blazes with every drop of oiland twigs added to it.

The more we seek to enjoy our desires, the more itadds to our hunger and temptations to want more of thesame. Unchecked desires spiral out into an uncontrolledblaze fed by combustible oil of enjoyment.

Knowledge cannot be stolen, nor be taxed, noris divisible among brothers, nor strain our shouldersto carry but it grows more as we spend it moreregularly, unlike money.

The poet compares money with knowledge and saysthat knowledge is the best wealth one can possess whichdoes not face any challenges that money faces.

Neither by anointment nor by election orconsensus of the animals has the lion become the king.It is by his might and dominance that he became theking.

A leader emerges to be great to a large section ofsociety by his sincerity of purpose, dedication, selfless hardwork, sticking to principles and emerging as a hope to many.He does not need to be anointed but is accepted as a leaderby his actions and conduct, thus he takes the position by hisown strength of character.

Good people never forget the help and servicedone to them by others as much as how a coconut treeremembers being watered at its infancy and gives backsweet water packed in coconuts for the rest of its life.

This sloka teaches us how to learn the lessons ofgratitude from a coconut tree. This sloka also is telling usthat we have to look out for teachings and wisdom that isthere for us to seek from the nature around us.

Rivers flow only to serve others. Cows give milkto others. Trees give fruits to others. The nature ofnoble and holy men like the river, cow and tree isonly to serve others.

All that the noblemen possess is meant for the society.They partake nothing of it themselves, like how a river neverdrinks its own water, a cow never drinks its own milk anda tree never feeds on its own fruit.

When it comes to giving moral advise to others,everyone is an expert, but when it comes to their owncase, they conveniently forget all those moral rules.

It is so easy to give free advise to others but whenthe same situation comes to those advisors, they wouldignore all their knowledge.

The real jewels of life are food, water and theGood Word. Why do fools call shiny stones as realjewels?

Of what use are the diamonds and precious stoneswhen we are hungry or caught up in a storm on the highseas? Value of food when we are hungry and the value ofdrinking water when we are thirsty far outweigh the artificialimportance given to glossy stones. Similarly, the value of aGood Word is far greater than any wealth as none of thatcan help us in our hour of need.

A meek man fears the consequences and avoidsdoing good. A mid-path man may try to do good butbacks out when faced with obstacles. The good menfear not the consequences and overcome them whenthey take up any work.

A large section of society fears doing good as theychicken out from possible consequences. A few better menmay attempt doing good but may not have the power of willand strength to see them through obstacles. Brave men arebut few, who have the strength and conviction not just toface the challenges, but also overcome them come whatmay, in the pursuit of their goals. As the adage goes, to thestrong man goes the victory while the meek are left to licktheir fears.

Noble, soft and pleasant talk pleases everyone,including animals. So, it is most desirable to talkpleasantly. Even if there is poverty of finances, whyshould there be poverty of pleasant talk?

Harsh, unpleasant and malicious talk hurts more thanthe physical hurt on the body. The physical wounds healfaster but the hurt of the heart lasts a lot longer. Harsh wordscan disturb a child or a pet even when they don’t understandthe language. Pleasant and loving words have even provento result in better yield of milk from cows. When good wordscan please people and animals why act like a pauper inpleasant talk?

The knowledge in the book and money in thepossession of others are of no use to us in the hour ofour need. Such knowledge is neither knowledgeenough or such money is money enough.

This sloka enlightens us that mere possession of booksdoes not help us unless we read, understand and practicewhat is written in them. Similarly, our money with othersmay not be of use in our hour of crisis.

Getting a well-wishing friend who is alsowise is a rare opportunity in as much as it is difficultto get a medicine which is effective and also tastyenough.

We will make a lot of friends in our life but we have tolook for such a friend who is not just a well-wisher but isalso wise and can help us fare better.

Serpents seek shelter at the base of a sandalwoodtree, while the birds seek the leaves on the top, themonkeys swing on its branches and the wasps seekout its flowers. In the same way, noblemen give shelterto one and all.

Great men accept one and all, even those that areshunned by most people like the serpents are shunned. Likehow Lord Shiva gave abode to serpents on his own body,so would noblemen give shelter and solace to peopleotherwise discarded by society. Such noble people live forothers without any bias, reservations or discrimination.

Those who think, talk and act in the same mannerare noble people. Those whose thoughts, talk andaction are in different directions are not good people.

This sloka states the importance of unified thought,speech and action to be counted as noble. People whocannot have such a uniformity cannot be trusted and are ofshady nature.

Deer seek out other deer for company as do cows whichseek company of other cows. Horses bond with otherhorses. Fools seek out company of other fools whilewisemen seek out the society of other wisemen. Peopleof similar characters, habits, and experiences tend toflock together.

It is natural to find people of similar nature bondingtogether whether such nature is good or bad. This slokacompares such behavior among animals as much as in thehumans.

An idiot has five characteristics – arrogance,abusive tongue, foolhardy nature, argumentativementality and willfully opposing what others say.

It is safe to stay away from fools. This sloka describesthe people with foolish qualities who have to be avoided.People who keep arguing disproportionately and foolishlycan cause a lot of pain to us if we do not avoid them.Intelligent, professional and productive discussions are goodbut when it turns to ugly, rigid and abusive, we have to wiselyavoid them.

Youthfulness, inherited wealth, power andfoolishness each individually are reasons enough tocause arrogance. What would happen if all fourqualities are there in one person?

The sloka talks about the causes which result inarrogance in a person. In youth, the person is intoxicatedwith new found energy and sense of self pride if it is nottampered with wisdom and culture. Wealth inherited or whichcomes as a windfall will also result in arrogance and causesmisuse and abuse of the same. Excessive power orconcentrated power in a single person will tend to makehim arrogant and intoxicated with power resulting in his doinginjustice to common public. If all these are joined with hisfoolishness, such a person is a not just arrogant but is also amajor cause of worry for the society.

Like how the quality of Gold is determined bysubjecting it to scrubbing on the pumice stone, cuttingit, burning it in fire and by hammering it, the tests todetermine a noble person is to check his ability tosacrifice, his character, his habits and his charitablenature.

Whether we buy a product or seek friendship, wehave to subject them to quality tests to determine their worthbefore we go ahead.

Words of wisdom told by anyone have to beaccepted whether it is from a child or even from aparrot. Unwise advise has to be rejected whether froman elderly person or even a Rishi like Sukamaharshi.

Source of wisdom is not as important as its content.Equally, we should not blindly accept whatever is told evenby men of learning or experience. This sloka focuses oncontent of information and not worrying about the source.

It is our own people who cause harm to us. Canan axe be of any use if not for the wooden handle,which itself is a product of the tree?

Major harm is always done by an insider. The internalsecrets are far too well known to them, without their help,external threats are far easier to handle. History tells ushow many battles were won by either bribing the guardsand officers of the enemy or by active rebellion from theinternal ranks. Tallikota war was won by Bahmani coalitionwhen Rama Raya’s own Muslim soldiers killed him andhoisted his head on a spear.

A true scholar takes up only those tasks that he iscapable of doing. He ensures that he finishes the taskshe takes up. He does not worry about those which hecannot achieve, nor does he cry for the losses. He neverloses his balance even in times of adversity.

Mahatma Vidura has given this description of qualitiesof a scholar as per Mahabharata. He is suggesting that truescholorship is not bookish knowledge but the ability to actin a stable, mature and brave manner. It is a waste of timeto worry about lost opportunities and those tasks that arefar beyond his capabilities. True scholorship shows up intimes of adversities when all the knowledge and learning isput to test. What Vidura discribed in this sloka are exactlythe qualities he himself possesses.

A thousand miles can be traversed even by anant when it makes the first move but even the fastesteagle stays put if he does not take that first step.

Speed alone does not guarantee reaching the goal.The longest distance also is possible only when the firststep is taken. Procrastinating, debating or lazing aroundtakes us nowhere. The arrogance of one’s capabilities orintelligence comes to nothing if one is complacent and laidback.

Empty vessels make noise. Fully filled vesselsare poignantly silent. Wisemen filled with knowledgeand wisdom do not make noise and maintain theirstature and poise. People with very little knowledgeboast of whatever little they know and tend to be noisy.The poet has compared such empty minds with theelephant and the wisemen with the ocean in thissloka.

Ocean is filled with many precious stones in its depthsand yet it stays relatively tranquil at the outside. Elephantshave a handful of pearls in their heads and yet feel and actwith intoxicated arrogance.

Electing an efficient and capable ruler is moreimportant than getting a wife or wealth. What use isit to get a wife or earn wealth if the ruler is inefficient?

The stability and growth of a nation is dependentstrongly on a capable, efficient and good government. In theabsence of such a government, accumulating wealth oracquiring wife and family will be fraught with risks andinsecurities. Safety of wife and family or of our wealth is notguaranteed if the ruler/ government is incapable or bad. Thissloka warns us from being casual about our responsibility inelecting our government. Exercising our duty of electing goodand efficient people cannot be wished away. People get thequality of government they collectively wished and deserved.Many nations suffer from the silence of the majority morethan the mistakes of the active minority.

O Chataka bird, my dear friend, hear me outwith patience. The sky has clouds that give water towet the earth and there are clouds which only roarbut give nothing. Why do you beg in front of everycloud for your drop of water? Look for the cloud thatgives you water and avoid the roaring clouds.

There would be men who only make sound andfury meaning nothing. Seeking help and gratuities from suchmen is of no use. Seek out those rare men who are liberal intheir giving. Seek out the Lord for what you want and not tothe pretentious imposters promising utopian heavens. It isbelieved that the bird Chataka drinks water directly fromthe rain drops before they fall to the ground. The author hascleverly used the bird to convey a profound message.

The essence of our accumulated good deeds ofthe past – Punyam, comes to our rescue when we arelost in the forests, on the battle fields, when caughtup in the middle of enemies, in floods, in the fire, inthe midst of the seas, at the heights of the mountains,in the depths of our sleep and in comatose state.

How does one explain how some people survive majoraccidents or calamities while others around them perish?How does one explain people surviving for several daysburied under debris of earthquake while many others wouldhave died instantly? This sloka reveals the truth that theaccumulated bundle of our past good deeds which we callas Punyam, would come to our rescue in such helpless times.While surviving accidents and calamities from natural causeslike, fire, floods, and ocean currents can be understood,this sloka also speaks about our helplessness andvulnerability when we are in sleep or in a coma where wecannot defend ourselves. Our Punyam only would come toour rescue in such situations. The sloka inspires us to dogood deeds and accumulate Punyam to survive our futurehelpless and needy situations.

Lions of the forest always hunt and eat the fleshof their game but never eat grass even if they arehungry. People born in noble, cultured and goodfamilies do not indulge in dishonorable acts even intimes of hardships.

Even though grass is available in plenty in the forest,a lion will not eat it even if it is very hungry. In the sameway, people with noble pedigree do not indulge in cheapand dishonorable acts like bribery, deceit or cheating evenin times of hardships.

Listening to the advice of experienced andwisemen would help us achieve good results in thequickest and easiest way.

Respect for the grey hair is a very well-known advicethat humanity had been propagating for generations.Experience gives wisdom, and warns us against unknownpitfalls and helps us to pick the shortcuts wisely. After thegreat war of Mahabharata, Lord Krishna advisedDharmaraja to seek wisdom and knowledge from Bheeshmapitamah who was waiting for his death on a bed of arrows.In spite of being a fallen hero, his experiences gave himgreat wisdom which Lord Krishna wanted to be sharedwith Dharmaja.

Our nation today is respected not just for anyindividual knowledge but for its collective and inheritedwisdom passed on from generation to generation by theelderly, wise and experienced people to the youngergenerations.

On the other hand, a noble soul uses hisknowledge to spread it across to everyone, uses hiswealth in charities and noble causes and his strengthis used in the defense of the meek.

This sloka tells us how the same resource can be eitherused or abused and the end result of knowledge, wealthand strength does not depend on them but on the nature ofthe person who possesses them. Indian culture always taughtthe wise, responsible and appropriate means of acquiringand using of knowledge, wealth and strength. Those whoare found not to have noble qualities were denied access toknowledge in the ancient days. We see how nations denyknowledge to smaller and poorer countries in the name ofpatents and trademarks, how they splurge their wealth inobnoxious luxuries and wasteful lifestyles while millionsacross the globe starve, how they flex their muscles in thecause of their own hegemony and not in the cause of civilizedand humanitarian purposes. A bad person uses knowledgeto unduly win conflicts, wealth gives him arrogance andstrength is used to torment others.

Bravery in times of adversity, patience andhumility in times of prosperity and glory, efficientpublic-speaking capabilities, strength and fearlessnessin times of conflicts, insatiable appetite for earningglory and an addiction to seek knowledge are thenatural traits of great souls.

Bhartruhari defines the characteristics of great soulswe call as Mahatmas. Striking a balance in times of successand glory is very difficult. Success makes a man proud orreckless. Times of conflict can bring out the weaknesses andtimidity of otherwise successful men. A well-read man whodoes not have the urge and appetite for more knowledge,decays and withers away. Such people may be successfuland great people but still do not qualify to be called Mahatma– great soul.

Five things that bring respect to a man are wealth,familial tree, age, achievements and knowledge.These rank progressively better from the reverse sidethough.

Wealth brings fame but fame goes away with loss ofwealth. pedigree and family name give a man the respectinitially but his own actions and conduct decide not just hisown honor but also that of the family he represents. Ageand experience are always respected but beyond a point itexpires. Achievements and great actions will earn honorsbut such honors too will fade with passing of time.Knowledge and wisdom used in the common good ofsociety shall last the longest and is more durable than theother means of earning glory.

The wind that blows out a small lamp acts aspropellant to a forest fire and helps the fire to blazeand spread more intensely. Strength earns friends evenfrom adversaries. Who wants to befriend a weak man?

This sloka says that a weak man does not get friends.Friends accumulate to people who are strong physically ormentally or financially.

A weak country has no friends even if it is in the right.A strong country gets support even from adversaries. Chinais not questioned on any of its aggressive and bullying actseven by the USA. Nuclear-powered India gets far morerespect than it got before the Pokhran blasts. A weak buttruthful nation of Tibet had no friends in the face of Chineseaggression and annexation.

A 100 tasks should not stop you from eating yourtimely meal, a 1,000 tasks should not stop you fromtaking bath, one lakh tasks should not stop you fromdoing charity and a crore such tasks should not stopyou from praising the Lord.

In the fast paced life of today, this sloka reminds us of notlosing sight of relative priorities and not stop doing moreimportant things while being bogged down with lessimportant matters.

Often we lose priority and do things that are not as important.Not taking food on time due to official work or other suchpriorities will result in long-term damage to our health. Whilefocused on career, we often miss out other more importantthings like taking care of our parents, our socialresponsibilities and our families.

What can be done now should not wait tilltomorrow. What can be done in the morning withoutprocrastination has to be done in the morning andnot wait for the afternoon. Death never waits for us tofinish our things.

If we do not do things at the right time, we will be leftwith regrets in life. This sloka advises us to respect thetimeliness of doing things as nothing waits for anyone andtime lost never comes back.The message here is not to delaynoble, charitable and good causes. We have to showurgency in such matters. A student preparing for examscannot be going for a movie outing or watching TV. Examwill not wait for him.

No decision should be taken ever in haste. Unwiseactions are the cause of all troubles. Prosperity courtsa wiseman. Wealth follows the people who do theirtasks in a planned and wise way.

Well-thought out and analysed decision any day isfar better and safer than a decision taken with emotion-clouded mind. This sloka written by Bharavi Kavi speaksabout the importance of taking decisions in a calm, unhastledand unbiased way and how decisions taken in haste andemotions could cause serious damage.

Speak the truth always. Speak the truthpleasantly. Do not talk unpleasant truths. Do not talkuntruths to impress others even if they are pleasant.These are the messages of our ancient Dharma.

Manu Smriti gave a very profound definition of howto convey truth and how not to talk untruths. This sloka isone of many such pearls of wisdom cherished by theSanaatana Dharmam with regard to Satyam or Truth.

The greatness of a man can be measured by thesoftness and tenderness he shows in his hour of glory,prosperity and abundance. The strength of a great manis also seen from his determination in standing like arock in the face of adversaries and challenges. Thissloka describes such qualities of a great person.

The behavior of a person in times of prosperity andin times of hardships is compared by Bhartruhari in this sloka.It is not easy for people to manage success and many peoplego overboard in their celebrations and can also becomeproud and arrogant. The greatness of noble men comes outin the way they show calmness and tenderness in their hourof triumph. In the hour of challenges, it is equally tough notto get depressed and loose hope. Great men like ourfreedom fighters never lost hope in spite of grave challengesand setbacks. They also showed magnanimity, grace,calmness and dignity when they achieve great successes.

Pleasure and pain is no one’s gift. Accusingothers of being the reason for our pains or pleasuresis a result of small mind. Even egoistically assumingthat we are doing something great is wrong. We areall bound by our collective acts of good and bad whichhave been part of us from our previous births whichwe call as Karma.

The law of Karma clearly defines the dynamicinterplay between good and bad deeds, between pleasureand pain as a continuum from previous births and not as anillogical stand alone cause less result. Every act will have arepercussion. A good deed results in pleasure and bad deedresults in pain. We cannot escape from either pain orpleasure. Wisemen are those that know the play of Karma.

Good men give charities for good and noblecauses useful to society. Evil men give their monies forbad causes which can harm the society and the nation.Parrots eat sweet and ripe mangoes while the crowseat the bitter fruits of the neem tree.

Good men do not allow their charities to be misusedor abused. They give their monies to causes that help thesociety in positive ways. Evil men on the other hand givecharities to causes that are detrimental or harmful to the society.While good noble men may donate to a temple, orphanage,old-age home or for subsidizing medical services, the evilminded men may donate to NGO’s who cause severe damageto the respect and trust of the nation. Like how a parrot waitsfor a mango to be ripe before it eats it, so would good menwait for the real need to mature before they give their charities.What can we speak about people who relish the bitternesslike the neem taste in the society?

Ayurveda defines a healthy person as the one who hasperfect balance of the three doshas – vaata, pitta andkhapha, a normal digestive and assimilative fire inthe belly, balanced and normal healthy tissues andbody making components, all normal excretoryfunctions combined with a pleasantly disposed andcontented mind, senses and soul.

Sushruta Samhita gave the definition of a healthyperson thousands of years back. It looked at holistic well-being and not merely physical or bodily health.

While accepting the balance and normalcy of all physicalfunctions and components of our body, Ayurveda alsostressed on the peace of mind, soul, spirit and senses to bereally healthy. It recognized that lack of peace in the subtleform would affect the gross form and so mere physical healthhas not been considered complete enough.

Sakshara in Sanskrit means a literate. The reverse ofthe word is Rakshasa the devil. If an educated persongets perverted, he becomes a devil. Sarasa in Sanskritmeans a jovial person. The reverse of the word also isSarasa. A jovial person will always remain jovial.

This sloka warns that mere education and knowledgeof any subject without knowing how to use it responsiblycreates demons out of people. Most terrorists are found tobe from very well to do families and societies and withdecent education. Yet all their education could not makethem civilized. Knowledge in the hands of such people willbe abused and misused.

The three aspects of a man’s life that he shouldnot be greedy but be contended with what he has are –his wife, his food and his wealth. The three aspects ofhis life that he should never be satisfied with what hehas achieved are – knowledge acquisition, prayers andcharity.

Unbridled craving for food or seeking excessive wealth farbeyond his legitimate needs and dissatisfaction with hisspouse will lead to sadness, misery and jealousy.

100. THINGS TO BE CONTENDED WITH

199




Life is a cycle. Joy is followed by sorrow andsorrow is followed by joy. No one will have only joy oronly sorrow all the time.

This sloka speaks about impermanence of pleasureor sufferings. It is always cyclical and one follows the othereven like how a barren tree ripped off its leaves in wintersprings to life with new leaves at the start of spring. Hope ofthe light at the end of the tunnel is very important and keepsa man going during his hard times. So should a man soakingin pleasure be prepared to also face the hard times later.The knowledge of such transitory nature of pain and joymakes us more mature and help us withstand the roughpatches of life.

Someone who wastes time doing jobs of othersat the cost of his own priorities, the one who keepspostponing his own works for no real reason, typicaldoubting toms, party- poopers and crashers, one whokeeps giving unsolicited sermons and one who trustseven those that distrust him are all fools.

These slokas define who is a fool. They speak abouta person with misplaced priorities, a lazy person, a personwho is eternally in doubt, univited party-crashers and onewho is foolish enough to trust people who do not trust themas the qualities of a real fool.

Unless serious and sustained efforts are madeto nurture the friendship, it will disintegrate in duecourse.

In this sloka, Sugreeva speaks about the challengesin sustaining friendship. He was facing the ire of Lakshmanawhen he had forgotten his promise of help to Rama.

It is very easy to make friends but very tough to sustainthe friendship. Mind is always fleeting and even small lapsescan cause big damage to relationships.

The real cleanliness and purity is honesty andfinancial integrity not taking or giving bribes or notabusing or appropriating funds for unintendedpurposes. How much ever one cleans the hands withmud, air or water, it cannot be purer than the honestclean hands.

This sloka is a gift from Manu Smriti, one of the earliestcodes of human behavior. This sloka speaks about financialintegrity being the real cleanliness. Our ancestors had put alot of importance on financial integrity, accountability andcorruptionless conduct. It is very sad to see the massivecorruption scandles that we saw in the recent past. Ourculture, scriptures, ethics and our codes of conduct alwaysemphasized on such fiscal purity which sadly is being ignoredby money thirsty political powers.

A person of knowledge and abilities would have noproblem if his abilities are subjected to severestscrutiny. But he will be deeply hurt if he is comparedto someone who is undeserved and less worthy.

This sloka describes the hurt and insult one goesthorough if compared with undeserving alternatives. A verysubtle and humorous simile used by JagannadhaPanditarayulu in this sloka uses the pain of Gold when it iscompared with its weights.

Gold goes through fire, is cut or rubbed to testify itspurity and yet it never felt bad. It felt hurt when it wascompared to the weights on the other scale

A royal physician has to have thorough knowledge ofthe causes, symptoms, treatment methods andprevention of every disease.

The qualities needed of a royal physician are describedin this sloka.

The sloka can also be interpreted as describing the qualitiesof a Social Doctor who should have full knowledge of thesocial challenges, understand its symptoms andcharecteristics, know the treatment methods to cure thesociety of its evils with such treatment that will not allowsuch problems to ever come up again. ‘

Swami Vivekananda, Pujya Hedgewarji, Lincoln andother great leaders were such Social Doctors who curedthe societies of many ills and also prescribed medicines andtreatment to ensure some of those evils never aeise again.

In the garb of social service, we see lot of wrongpeople damaging and vitiating the social harmony and peace.Those that fiddle with society without love for the nation ordo it for their own personal glory are fake social doctors.

People who call themselves leaders but who do nothave these qualities end up being the typical corruptand self-centered politicians who hardly do any goodto people on whose support they seek power

This sloka lists the characteristics needed by a personto get the appreciation of the world. It is rare to find a personwho has all these together.

To be popular, effective and good leaders, one shouldhave all noble qualities like patience, compassion, love,truthfulness, humility, wit, sharpness of mind and sincerity ofpurpose. Historically, we find these qualities to be commonamong great leaders of the world like Shivaji, SwamiVivekananda, Arabindo, Tilak, Sardar Patel, Deen DayalUpadhyaya and in the recent days, Modiji.

A student has to use every single moment in the pursuitof his studies. A person who wants to make millionshas to save every penny. How can a student acquireknowledge if he wastes his time in matters not relatedto his purpose? How can one earn his millions if hedoes not care to save every single pound?

Ask the Olympic sprinter the value of a second. Askthe mother Earth the value of a nano second. Every secondcounts and every second lost can never come back. Everypenny adds to make a million. A mindset which does notvalue time or money loses a lot in life.
