Sacrifice

Man is a social animal, totally different from all other animals. The human child can not survive alone. The child gains knowledge according to the society. The likes and dislikes of the society are blindly followed by the child and after some years it becomes habit, nature and religion of the person. The carpenter’s child learns carpentry, potter’s pottery, black smith’s black smithy, gold smith’s gold smithy, cobbler’s shoe making, farmer’s farming etc. Mental thought becomes same as of the society. Food habits, clothes and all other living arts naturally become according to the society. The person can’t think against it. Now a day some exceptions are seen but they have to face so many difficulties.
Our old society was based on specialization formula. There were four Varnas according to the professions. Brahmans were doing the work related to education, Kshatriyas administration, Vaishyas business and Sudras services to all. In four Varnas there were so many castes and sub castes. But all divisions were on profession basis. No one was superior or inferior. All were equal. Just like different parts of the body, different castes were the components of the society. In the body different parts have equal importance. So were the castes for the society. But specialization was the main motto. Each caste was specialized in its profession.
Brahmans were well versed in all shastras. They were like heads and brains of the body. Kshatriyas were ruling ( protecting) the society. They were like arms of the body. Baishyas were expert in farming and trading. They were like stomach of the body. Sudras were serving the above three Varnas. They were like lower portion of the body. They all were experts in their fields. Children got practical education from the very childhood. Automatically, they became well versed in the parents’ profession. All were very pleased and the society was running very smoothly & peacefully. That was the golden period. We were in Satyug, Treta and Dwaper period. In Satyug king left his kingdom, wife and son for truth. In Treta the king left his wife for the public. It was Ram-Rajya when the lion and the goat drank water together. Then Dwaper came. It was the time when all-rounder Lord Krishna came and killed all bad elements. True knowledge of Gita was taught. Society became free from evils. Next our Kalijug came. All evils came to the earth. The business of false things was started. We totally forgot our culture. All around, selfishness has spread. We forgot the word sacrifice. We are hankering after money. We want to be rich by any means, fair or unfair. We forgot to respect seniors & love juniors. Love among each other is rare.
We are doing drama and it is present day need. Actually, we have come here to perform our roles on this world stage. Our roles should be natural. We should always remember that we are doing drama. But we forget it & think the drama to be real and again start drama. I mean we start another drama in the original drama. We start false acting. Then how the natural acting can come.
One thing I wanted to tell since long. Like passengers in the train, we gather in a family for a long journey. According to our previous lives, we have different likes and dislikes. We should know the art of compromising. There is a youth. He marriages a girl. The male has different background to that of the girl. Both live together happily due to compromising nature. Each should respect another’s idea and act according to the combined decision. No one should impose one’s thought upon other. Never be rigid on anything. Always be flexible. You may be wrong. You will understand this when you think calmly. We gain much by sacrifices. We get nothing showing greediness. We conquer the world when we start sacrificing. We lose our identity (moral values, status, self pride etc) when we show greed.
