tagged as liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a society. On the other hand, it is man’s second n<strong>at</strong>ure to live <strong>in</strong> society or have a<br />

community spirit. It is absolutely <strong>in</strong>herent <strong>in</strong> his n<strong>at</strong>ure or his <strong>in</strong>n<strong>at</strong>e <strong>in</strong>st<strong>in</strong>ct.<br />

The offspr<strong>in</strong>g of birds and animals become self-reliable very quickly after their birth and therefore,<br />

they forget their <strong>in</strong>tim<strong>at</strong>e connection (blood rel<strong>at</strong>ion) with their parents. This may one of the<br />

underly<strong>in</strong>g factors responsible for the lack of last<strong>in</strong>g mutual lov<strong>in</strong>g and car<strong>in</strong>g feel<strong>in</strong>gs amongst<br />

them. On the other hand, human be<strong>in</strong>gs rema<strong>in</strong> dependent on their parents or guardians for very long<br />

after birth which may be one of the ma<strong>in</strong> reason for their last<strong>in</strong>g mutual bond.If we ponder a bit more<br />

deeply on this subject, we will understand th<strong>at</strong> the dependence of offspr<strong>in</strong>g on their parents or<br />

guardians do not end when they become adults but keep exist<strong>in</strong>g as have to rely on the society <strong>in</strong><br />

countless areas <strong>in</strong> life.<br />

Be Good and Do Good<br />

The truth beh<strong>in</strong>d perform<strong>in</strong>g good deeds to ga<strong>in</strong> entry <strong>in</strong>to heaven may be deb<strong>at</strong>able. There are some<br />

references about such idea <strong>in</strong> the scriptures but its fundamental aim is to motiv<strong>at</strong>e people to follow<br />

the p<strong>at</strong>h <strong>in</strong> life which is moral and good for the self and the society <strong>at</strong> large.Gett<strong>in</strong>g a sick child take<br />

medic<strong>in</strong>e is a gre<strong>at</strong> challenge. A mother has to resort to cajol<strong>in</strong>g the child <strong>in</strong>to tak<strong>in</strong>g medic<strong>in</strong>e by<br />

say<strong>in</strong>g th<strong>at</strong> she would reward him with a toy. The child does not know the worth of the medic<strong>in</strong>e, but<br />

he does know the worth of a toy. In the hope of gett<strong>in</strong>g rewarded with a toy, he takes the medic<strong>in</strong>e<br />

which works <strong>in</strong> his best <strong>in</strong>terest.<br />

Similarly, an average <strong>in</strong>dividual does not appreci<strong>at</strong>e the worth of liv<strong>in</strong>g a high ideal life. Sensual<br />

pleasures are wh<strong>at</strong> <strong>in</strong>terests him more. He can visualize his <strong>in</strong>terest of secur<strong>in</strong>g the heavens which is<br />

the happ<strong>in</strong>ess he is seek<strong>in</strong>g for. The prospects of heaven makes him take up a worthy course <strong>in</strong> life.<br />

This can’t be thought of as a deceit or a lie as it would <strong>in</strong>deed usher him <strong>in</strong> the direction which has<br />

much more to offer than the said reward.<br />

Just make not break too<br />

Secret to good garden<strong>in</strong>g lies not only <strong>in</strong> nourish<strong>in</strong>g the plants but also <strong>in</strong> prun<strong>in</strong>g the weeds. Plants<br />

need to be cared after, given nourishments, yes but the weeds need to be trimmed too. Only then the<br />

dream of a beautiful garden can be realized.<br />

In much the same way, secret of self-progress lies <strong>in</strong> not only constructive activities like read<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

contempl<strong>at</strong>ion, pious company, religious observances but also <strong>in</strong> perform<strong>in</strong>g corrective actions<br />

necessary for self reform. For the eradic<strong>at</strong>ion of neg<strong>at</strong>ive impr<strong>in</strong>ts and <strong>in</strong>ferior traits we need to<br />

undergo the arduous penance of <strong>in</strong>trospection and self-reform.<br />

For progress and reform it is necessary to adopt a balanced approach th<strong>at</strong> does justice to both aspects<br />

of the process. It was the vile side effect, of our extremist, <strong>in</strong>appropri<strong>at</strong>ely lax and one-sided<br />

religiousness th<strong>at</strong> India had to suffer the curse of long political enslavement, which lasted for a<br />

thousand years.<br />

Yes we must foster th<strong>at</strong> which is good and noble, but the eradic<strong>at</strong>ion of wh<strong>at</strong> is bad and vile is our<br />

pious duty too. Only if we fully understand and appreci<strong>at</strong>e this eternal truth, can each one of us<br />

uphold justice and strike down <strong>in</strong>justice like it was done <strong>in</strong> the days of yore.
