पूतना-बध (1)

POOTANAA BADH(1)

Kans took the newborn baby from his sister’s hand and threw it to a stone to kill it. Yogmaayaa (The newborn girl) slipped from his hands and flew to the sky. She showed her original form. She was none, but Aadi-Shakti Yogmaayaa which is the cause of creation, domestication and destruction of the universe. She had eight hands having weapons like bow, trishool, arrow, shield, sword, shankh (conch), chakra and gada. Gods and goddesses were praying and offering so many presentations. Yogmaayaa disappeared telling him that his killer had taken birth elsewhere. He repented (The Almighty had come in the womb of Devakee and Devakee-Basudev had seen his original form. Seeing such pious souls whom The Almighty chose as his parents, heart changing is quite possible) and freed Devakee-Basudev. But, the words of Yogmaayaa always haunted in his mind. He called all his courtiers and sought advices. The foolish courtiers (the ill advisors) unanimously advised to kill all newborn children.

                                               The giantess Pootanaa was famous in killing children. She was chosen for this very purpose.   

YOGEESHWAR KRISHNA

                                                                                            For perfection, you have to get experience of every subject. You have to have skill to face all kinds of odds. But, skill neither fall from the sky nor can be donated by someone else.  You will have to go yourself under rigorous training. The training starts from the very womb to prepare a child to fight all calamities. Kanhaiyaa felt the situation of his parents in jail, always afraid of the greatest terror, Kansa. The child’s mind acts according to mother’s thought. Abhimanyu got half training in the womb because his mother slept after that, and the training remained incomplete which caused the defeat and death of Abhimanyu. In London Olympic, China was on top. Even having short height, its participants have special skill to win. What is the reason? You will feel pity to see the tough training and exercise of the infants there. Children of two-three years are sent to training camps. Such minors are put on rigorous practices for hours. The cruel trainers don’t show mercy. We see the results. We are nowhere in the challenge whereas, we are next to China in population. Even to-day, we don’t allow our children to adopt sports as career. While studying in schools and colleges, they enjoy playing games as a fun. They never learn sport's technics seriously to make career. The greater the competition, the greater the preparation. Preparation of village level competition is different to that of district level and so on. To compete in Olympic, training from the very childhood or even in the womb is necessary. Putting photos of the great persons of the field in the mother’s room, listening, reading and thinking their stories and having nutritious food by the mothers, are the training of the womb’s children. My hero, Kanhaiyaa, also prepared himself (got training) in the womb itself, to defeat the greatest enemy of the universe, Kansa along with his all supporters.                                                                 These are normal preparation (training), which our universal mother, the nature, provides to its children, all creatures. Preparation for survival in the cold zone is quite different from hot zone. Creatures in the water, on the earth, in the sky, in the forest are quite different in physiques and habits.

                                   My Kanhaiyaa’s training was up to the extent of perfection (100%). It was full proof. This type of preparation has been done only once by the nature to honour its Lord, Yogeeshwar Krishna. Naturally, miracles started happening from the very birth. The jail-guards slept, the huge gates automatically opened, manacles became loose, the flooded river Yamuna gave way, Yogmaayaa slipped from Kansa’s hands and flew in the sky, Putanaa was killed in the very sixth day, Shakat-bhanjan, Trinavarta killing, Yamalarjun’s liberation, Vatsasur, Vakasur and Aghasur's killing, Brahma’s liberation from doubt, killing of Dhenukasur, Kaliya-nag, Pralambasur; protecting Brajbasis from forest’s fire, lifting Govardhan-Mountain to protect from devastating flood caused due to anger of lord Indra, Kansa’s killing along with his associates Keshee, Vyomasur, Kubaliyapeer, Chanur, Mustik etc are some miracles performed by Lord Krishna in the very childhood.

                                                                      In latter days Jarasandh-badh, Sisupal-badh, ispiration to Arjuna, killing all Kauravas and victory of Pandavas are all miracles. After performing infinite wonders, He willingly left the world. The collection of teachings to Arjuna, the book Geeta is the gist of all epics of the universe. This type of character is the unique in the world’s history. He has the climaxes of all qualities. Only The Almighty can perform like this. That is why we call him God’s full incarnation. -----------On Krishnashtamee, the 10th August, 2012. -------Ohm Namo Bhagvate Shree Ramanaay.         

KAA CHUP SAADHI RAHEHU BALBAANAA

                                                               Lalan always remained silent in the class. I always saw him in thoughtful mood. By physical appearance, he was like a speechless, dull, rustic child. So many other boys were more out spoken and self-appraisers. In reality, they had no depth; rather they had only scratching knowledge. They had smart looks and were well dressed. More often, our eyes are deceived. What I think real may be false and what seems wrong may be right. One day it happened that Lalan and I met in the mango orchard near our hostel, where only we two were present. I started talking about a topic, which had not been taught in the class. To my surprise! He was the master of the topic where as I had simply scratching knowledge, upon which I was priding myself.

                                                         Once I attended one week gathering of KFI at Rajghat. My senior Mr SPS took me there. He is a very religious person having knowledge of all religious books of Hinduism and of so many other religions. In the gathering, I saw so many males and females of different countries and of different cultures wearing peculiar dresses. Not knowing them, I commented before SPS, ‘Sir, perhaps they have simply come on tour to enjoy the new places and they have nothing to do with KFI ideologies.’ He did not answer and kept mum. Groups were made to discuss about the speeches of the main speakers. When I heard them and found their introduction, I became amazed. They were famous personalities of their fields. Before them, I was a learner and thought as if I were a tourist and I had nothing to do with the ideologies.

दुष्ट



'दुष्ट संग जनि देहु विधाता'. जे विना कारणे ककरो दुःख देव' के मौका नहि चूकय, दोसर के दुःखी देखि अति प्रसन्न हुअय आ  ककरो नीक नहि चाहय; सैह दुष्ट थिक. I recall a story of my childhood. A traveller being tired, slept in the shade of a tree. After a while the direction of the sun changed and it's scorching rays came directly over the traveller's face through the gap of the leaves. The saint among birds, the swan saw this and could not tolerate. It spreaded it's feathers over the gap of the leaves. The traveller again became away from the sun and went in deep sleep. A crow came in the tree. It saw the scene and laughed at the swan's foolishness. In the mind of the wicked, the saint has such a very view. According to it's nature, the scene became unbearable for the crow. This is the normal feature of the wicked, unable to tolerate nobilty. The crow sat just below the swan and right above the traveller. It secreted on the face of the traveller and flew away. The traveller awoke and saw above. He saw the swan. He became too much angry on the swan and killed it by his arrow. This always happens. A wicked is seldom caught. So, avoid the company of wickeds.                                                                                                         When I come in the contact of a saint, I can not remain ungraced. The axe is bound to have the scent of the sandal wood if it cuts it. The wicked must give their signs if you go to them. 'Kaajal ki kothali me ek daag laagi hai pay laagee hai'. Ramkrishna Paramhans used to wash the sitting place of the wicked who came to see him. He had the vision to see the inner views of every person. What about the great saint like him, every one has the capacity to know the inner views of others. I willingly fall in trap due to my greed & past deeds. By the grace of The Almighty, I can put myself away from these wickeds. -------NAMO BHAGVATE SHREE RAMANAY.

TASHMAI SHREE GURUWE NAMAH

                                                                             “ Agyaan timiraandhasya gyaanaanjan shalaakayaa; Chakshurunmeelitan yen tasmai shree guruwe namah.” I was wandering in the darkness of ignorance. A man developed my eyes with a stick of anjan (kajal- a black colour applied on the eyebrow) of knowledge. I began to see the universe vividly. I became able to see good and bad. I came to know the humanity and animality. Briefly, I took re-birth as a man.

                                        The place of the guru is too much higher than the parents. Suppose you make a statue. Some body gives life in it. Who should be called superior? Obviously, the life-giving person. Without knowledge, we are not better than a statue. It is better to die than to wander like an animal without knowledge.

                                                                     Parents are called first gurus of a child. Hence, they are creators, tamers, and educators. That is why they are superior to all. Think about the children who do not serve their parents. We cannot repay the debt of our parents even offering our lives. ‘Sheesh diye jo guru mile, to bhee sastaa jaan’. It is cheaper to have guru even offering our heads.

                                                   ‘Aatmaiv guruh’. The soul is the very guru. It is foolishness to wander hither and thither in search of guru, when this is in everyone’s heart. ‘Tera sai tujh me jyon puhpan me baas; Kastooree kaa mrig jyon phir phir soonghe ghaas.’ God is in you like the scent in flowers. The scented kastooree is in the very deer, but it smells grass again and again to have the very perfume. ------- On Guru Purnima, 3^rd July,2012.--- Ohm Namo bhagvate shree Ramanaay.

  

                                                        

FATHER’S DAY, 17 June 2012

                                                                 “Bhoomergareeyasee maataa, swargaatuchchatarah pitaa”. Mother is superior to the earth; father is higher than the heaven. Everybody wants to defeat all; he wants to be defeated by his son only. He wants his son to be the greatest in the word. He wants all good qualities should come in his son. He is the first tutor of the child. The child starts copying its father. If the father is good, the child will automatically become good. Bad person’s son will be bad. Even the robber wants his son to become good and so he puts him in the company of good persons, far away from his atmosphere.

                                                                                   Once King Baber’s son Humanyu became ill. All doctors failed to cure him. Baber moved three rounds around his son’s bed and prayed God to save his son and take his life instead. A miracle happened; Baber became ill and died; Humanyu became cure. This is the climax of the sacrifice. Only father can do such sacrifice.

                                                 A few days ago, I was talking with a lean and thin rickshaw puller. His condition was very pitiable. I felt guilty seating in the rickshaw, but consoled myself thinking his employment and his family members depending on his earning. To my surprise! His son was also reading in the same school where officers’ sons were studying. He was bearing the expenses by the earning from the rickshaw. I wanted to give him some more fare but he refused, took only the appropriate fare, and returned the extra amount. I forgot my purse on the rickshaw in which there were some money and important papers. I was very anxious and cursing my memory. After half an hour, I saw the rickshaw puller coming. He gave my purse and advised to keep the material carefully. I offered some money but he again refused. I was surprised to see his honesty even in such a wretched condition.

                                                                        Years passed, I forgot the event and the rickshaw puller. One day, a man came to me with a sweet-packet in his hand. I did not recognize. He memorized me the past event and his identity. I recalled. He was extremely pleased. There was a glazing of self-content on his face. His son had first position in the class. I saw a father’s happiness when his son achieves some better things.

                                                    I wish my sons to be blessed all qualities of mine and of the world; all happiness go to them and their all sorrows to me. "Pitri charnabhyan bande."--------namo bhagvate sri Ramanaay.   

KANJOOS (MISER)

 Ramlal was my neighbor. He was a very rich man. He was not educated but grace of goddess Lakshami (goddess of wealth) was always on him. It is called that Lakshami and Saraswati (goddess of knowledge) cannot live together. Scholars of the village were in wretched condition and always spread hands before him. Males and females of his family worked hard in the field and produced sufficient crops of all varieties. He had thirty acres of land. Due to hard labor, the yield of the field was highest in the village though so many honorable persons had more landed property than he had. The reason was that honorable persons did not work in the field, their all works were done by labors where as Ramlal’s sons, and grandsons worked hard labor themselves. Respected persons got only half of the produced; there was none to have share in Ramlal’s crops. Moreover, there cannot be comparison between the work done by self and that of done by labors. When farmer is not active and work is left on labors, some quantity is wasted and some stolen. The remaining is divided in two parts. Few portions come to farmer’s door. A story about Ramlal’s riches is famous. His eldest daughter found a copper jar filled with gold coins while she was digging field. She came home and gave the jar to her father very secretly. No one knew the matter. He encased the gold coin very slowly and purchased land. Now he became a big property owner. Every year he purchased some land by selling crops.

                                                                     Though, Ramlal had become rich, his food habits and dress did not change. He became pleased when every member ate only bread and salt and wore ragged clothes. New generation did not tolerate and changed food habits and dresses. Ramlal could not bear and started abusing every member. Family members found out a clue. In the presence of Ramlal they pretended to eat only salt and bread. When Ram went towards fields, they ate good dishes. Ram was very pleased eating salt and bread daily, thinking that all used the same food.       

SIL PAR PADAT NISAAN

                         ‘Karat karat abhyaas te jadmati hot sujaan; Rasree aawat jaat te sil par padat nisaan’. Man is bound to obey habits. Adoption of good habits is a bit tougher and less interesting; bad habits are simpler and charmful. Good habits are like moving upward on a slope, bad habits are like coming downward.

                                   Everybody knows his bad and good habits. Initially it is very simple to adopt or leave a habit, good or bad. After some period, roots go deeper and habits become nature. To get rid of one’s nature is very difficult task. Only very strong determination and sadguru’s grace can change one’s nature.

                                                          In the childhood, the baby is ignorant about the good or bad habits. It may accept either of the two without any reason or according to the past life’s deeds. It is the duty of the parents to inspire good habits of the children and discourage bad habits.

                                                 When one grows to know things, he better understands his qualities and demerits. I should select habits good or bad. I should start to practise to leave bad habits. Not all evils can be removed at a time. I have to start with one. Conquering one, start the next. Similarly, good habits should be practised one by one. Initially, it may be tedium, but after sometime, I start to enjoy.

Customs

                                                            Do you know what the best day to cut your nail is? When to cut hair or when to wear new clothes is a very tough question for scholars. Which day is the best to start a journey in a particular direction? What is the best date to start the construction of a new house or the best date to start living in a new house? Do you know the best direction to sleep or eat? Which color-cloth should be worn in a particular day is the most important. In Bhadvaa (Panchak), starting journey or initiating new work is completely prohibited.

                                                  I know a person whose family obeys peculiar traditions. There is no good quality wooden or iron door in his house though he is capable to purchase it and which is most essential. Ordinary very weak shutters made of bamboos (chachri) tied with rope or iron rings havebeen used which are quite unsafe. Often cases of theft and other nuisances are heard.

                                                        I know another family, which follows another abnormal ritual. After marriage, there is a festival ‘Madhushraawani’ for new brides. On this occasion, a burning flame is touched with bride’s knee and is extinguished on the very limb. Sometimes the burnt skin wound becomes severe and causes even death. Some families have left this custom and only the cold wick is touched.

                                            In some societies, women are banned to recite ‘Gayatri-Mantra’ or Ved-Mantras. During four days of menses, they are barred to take part in religious functions. Sometimes, their involvements become must but they cannot participate due to the custom. The secrecy is disclosed and they feel great humiliations. In the present Hi-Tec period these all are superfluous. Women have become parallel to men and in some fields, they are doing better. Men cannot be equal in nursing field. In air hostesses, more percentage of  girls are allowed.    

                                               

KAARAJ DHEERE HOT HAI KAAHE HOT ADHEER

                                                                      “Jald kaam saitaan kaa”. Haste makes waste. The work will surely be performed if there is strong will and regular endeavor. However, it shall take time. A time is fixed for every work. If you make haste, you are weakening the strength and quality. Sometimes it may destroy the product and cause the failure of the mission. The human baby comes out of mother’s womb after being matured in nine months. Due to any reason, if it comes out before, it becomes too weak and sometimes dies. Before seven months, only dead body can come out. Similarly, every creature has fixed time to take birth. Every plant grows from its seed after a fixed time.

                                                        While taming our child we show impatience. ‘My child is not getting good marks or he is not doing well in the classes', this type of question is always heard. My suggestion to all guardians is to keep patience. Sometimes, student doing well in the primary classes does not do better in the higher classes while a very dull beginner starts getting top in the higher classes. I have seen a naughty boy of the childhood doing miracles in his future life. Early days of everybody are approximately same. Guardians have to watch the habits and the companies of their wards. Rest remains the duty of the teachers. The student himself goes on the track according to his choice. If I strengthen the embankments of a river and allow the water to flow, the river will flow between the embankments. Only diverson towards the evils is to be restricted.

                                                Very few parents allow their kids to take sports as their career. But, Tendulkar, Gawaskar, Vishwanathan Anand are incomparable. Few scholars have got such name and fame.

नवरथ (8)

नवरथजी कई दिन शुबह से शाम तक सभा में बैठे लेकिन एक भी लडकी के  पिता ने उनका साक्षात्कार नहीं लिया। अंतिम दिन उन्होंने तय   किया कि आज किसी   भी सूरत में शादी करनी  ही है। कई दलाल (घटक) लगाए गये। कुछ लेन-देन करके  मेरे नायक की शादी एक अति धनाढ्य परिव़ार में तय हुई. काफी धूम धाम से शादी हुई. वहन क़ी खुशी का क्या कहना? ख़ुशी से उसके पर लग गए गये थे। चतुर्थी के भोज के लिए पूरे गाँव को न्योता दे आई. भाई के ससुराल में रेहू मछली,चूडा-दही, आम, केला, चावल, ख़ाजा, लड्डू, जलेबी और रसगुल्ले के भार का छोड़ लग गया। गाँव में आज तक किसी के यहाँ से  ऐसा भार न तो विदा किया गया था और न पहुंचा ही था। यश-यश हो गया। नयी दुल्हन के लिए नवरथ की वहन ने खूब सुन्दर साड़ी और रत्न जड़ित सोने का हार भेजा. सुन्दर साड़ी  और गहने पहनकर दुल्हन परी लग रही थी।                    

माँ

                                                         
'कुपुत्रो जायेत क्वचिदपि कुमाता न भवति।' सब कुछ मिल सकता है लेकिन माँ  नहीं मिल सकती. स्वयं भूखी रहकर बच्चे को खिलाना, स्वयं गीले में रहकर बच्चे को सूखे में रखना, अपने दुःख की परवाह न कर सदा बच्चे के सुख की चिन्ता केवल माँ ही कर सकती है।
                                                        'ए माँ तेरी सूरत से अलग भगवान् की सूरत क्या होगी ? जिसको नहीं देखा हमने कभी फिर उनकी जरूरत क्या होगी ?' भगवान् सब जगह नहीं रह सकते, इसलिए उसने माँ को बनाया ताकी उनकी प्रतिमूर्ति सदा-सर्वदा मेरे सामने उपस्थित रहे और मैं उन्हें हमेशा देख सकूं.

Countryside Maturity

In old time village people were very simple and great hospitable. ‘Atithi devo bhav- the guest is god’ was their main ideology. I have seen Paritoshjee in my village. He was famous for the warm welcome to unknown visitors. Very few want to host the unknown. But, he was special. Everybody knew his generosity. His kindness was famous in the area. Shelter-less persons gathered at his door and stayed there as long as they wished. He heartily welcomed all the guests. In the mango season, passers-by were compellingly fed mangoes and they were forcibly offered to take some mangoes for their family members. What a grand welcome! This type of cordiality is seldom found to-day. The cheater may misuse this type of generosity but, this type of heavenly character is the rarest. I have heard from my own ears a bhajaar (the person of a famous family wanders hither and thither in search of food and attends every occasion of joint feast without invitation) abusing Paritoshjee. Paritoshjee had put a condition that after taking food at his home, no guest should again eat at another house. A comedian type person forcibly fed the bhajaar some rice and fish curry just after the feast he had eaten at paritoshjee door. The comedian called Paritoshjee and showed him bhajaar eating. Paritoshjee banned him to come to his door again. That was the reason to abuse. But, banning did not last long. It was impossible for so generous person like Paritoshjee to bear distance of bhajaar. He went to bhajaar himself and invited him honorably to take food. Now the situation is completely changed. The urban people have become more simple than the rural. When I go home, I become astounded to see the cunningness of the rural. The evils of cities have come in the villages. Village youths have become liquor and drug-edicts. They are lying beside the road and in village market in drunken state. They are busy in gambling and prostitution. They are unnecessarily abusing and fighting. Majority of youths have become notorious frauds. The old generosity has disappeared and cunningness has captured their lives. Some of them have gone to big cities and are involved in crimes. An urban fraud went to a remote village. He had kept the old view about the rural people that they are very meek. He sat on a tea-shop and ordered for a special tea. The shopkeeper demanded some money to purchase sugar, tea-leaf and milk. He gave him a hundred rupee note. The seller prepared tea and gave him. He took tea and asked for the balance amount. The seller did not return and began to fight. The seller was a wrestler. He tore his clothes and beat him black and blue. Seeing him helpless, he fled. He went to another village and sat on a food shop. He ordered for food. He ate, washed his hands, gave the seller a thousand rupee note, and asked him to return the rest amount. Seeing him unknown, the seller did not return the balance amount, instead gave him a hard blow. Again he fled and saved his life. The visitor was a notorious fraud of a town. But here the situation was quite reverse. He went to another village. He had some fake notes. He mixed them with some good notes and gave a shopkeeper for exchange. The shopkeeper saw the notes and understood the fake notes. He exchanged his all money and gave him double other fake notes. The visitor spoke some words but the seller dragged him on the ground and snatched all his possessions. The visitor ran away and caught his ears to go to village again.

Tyakt Lajja Sukhee Bhavet.

Rani is very sentimental and broad. She is extreme gentle. There is no ‘no’ in her dictionary. She can bear all difficulties but cannot hurt anybody by mind, expression, or action. She always looks herself in the eyes of others. Her every action is based on the view ‘What others will think about her?’ This notion sometimes puts her in trouble but she is firm on her views. Her husband is working in railways. A railway quarter is allotted to him. People from mother’s side and in-law’s side most often come for medical aids in DMCH and other marketing purposes and stay in her quarter for months. Her quarter looks like an inn. She faces too much trouble in hosting the guests but she takes it as Almighty’s grace. Her husband sometimes murmurs but she never speaks a single word against the guests. Until a guest himself wants to depart, she cannot show any posture to show dishonor. This behavior puts her in economic crisis but she does not bother. Due to her nature, some persons are permanent guests. I remember one occasion when one of her husband’s close friends came with a new man. This man’s daughter lived in the same town. However, Rani’s warm welcome forced him to stay at her residence and he refused to go to his daughter’s home. Later on, whenever he visited the town he never stayed at his daughter’s residence and always halted at Rani’s home. This is one example. There are so many other events when she has gone in trouble and hosted known and unknown persons for long.
Nikky is one of the close friends of Rani. She is ready-witted. She is so clever and out spoken that a guest never dares to stay at her home. Sometimes, her in-laws come but soon depart due to her behavior. She can hardly offer a cup of tea and for that, you will have to hear so many abuses. Sometimes, she even starts fighting on minor matters. Who will dare to stay at such place where probablity of being abused and getting blows is more. So close persons also search another shelter. Her husband is a noble person. He is popular everywhere due to his nobleness but no one dares to visit his home due to his wife.

CORRELATION

An old man had two wives. He was living with newer having so many children. His condition was very pitiable. He hardly managed the two times meals. His wife always spread hands before neighbors. When a guest came, she became panicky. She walked so many houses in a moment. Many refused, but to save her modesty before the guest, so many willingly helped. The older wife lived with her only son quite separately. Her condition was well. She enjoyed good food and clothes. We came to know the fact very late that they were wife-husband. It was not less than a wonder for us to see wife better and husband in wretched condition. When I went in depth, found the husband guilty. Previously he had tortured her wife too much and the climax came when he married another young girl, leaving the older helpless. After sorrow happiness comes. Her son earned well and she became better. Husband with new wife and so many children had little resources and became poor.

There was another person who had only three members in the family; he himself, wife and only son. He was doing some job in Bombay. After retirement, he built a good house in the village. Nevertheless, great peculiarity was found that the couple was never found together in the house. When husband came home, wife remained at Bombay and vice-versa. I went deep into the matter and found that both were guilty. Once they quarreled like other couples but they took the bitterness in the heart and decided not to talk with each other forever.

The third example is also before me. One of our teachers was a prominent scholar. He had his PHD degree from MIT, USA. He and his wife loved each other very much. Once they went on long discussion. In the argument wife challenged to marry another girl. The husband took it in the heart and started at once for the mission. He was of great quality. What to talk about quality bridegrooms; Beautiful girls choose handicapped, or even notorious persons for marriage. He accepted the challenge and married seven girls one by one. The first wife became mental patient and died.

What do these events indicate? Quarreling between wife and husband is natural. But, at least one should yield. There should not be permanent knot. Permanent nub is generally sorrowful except some exceptional cases when Tulsidas and kalidas take birth.

Worldly relation is based on mutual give and take. It is quite transitory. When give and take ends, relationship also breaks. It is true for all persons, irrespective of educated or uneducated. When you forget worldly-cleverness and live for others, you join broader group and conquer the knotful relation.

BROADNESS

From the very childhood, we start collecting wastes in our mind. Before gaining worldly knowledge, creature is pure. After knowing the world, it begins to store garbage. Wastes like cleverness, hate, greed, anger, kaam (desire), moh etc come side by side. You start to act thinking advantage and disadvantage. Our every action is based on loss and profit. I praise the person who obliges me and criticize or hate the creature that does not gratify. Many times, unnecessarily, I abuse a person with whom I have no concern. On futile matters, I waste my valuable time, which can be utilized in important work. This is purely mean mindedness. When my thought becomes broad and pure, these pointless subjects seem very ignorable. When I go very high in the sky, the debris of the earth vanishes and beautiful scene of the world is seen.

Contrarily, when black heart person goes high, his eyes always searches debris and he gets it. The vulture goes high to see dead body. Your broadness forces your criticizers to repent and regret. In the dazzling light of broadness, minor scratches of meanness completely vanish. The natural friend ‘pardon’ automatically comes with broadness. We start to see all creatures in me and myself in all creatures. Criticism vanishes. Who will condemn himself?

 

LID

Long ago, I had read a novel ‘The ants and the sugar’. There was a farmer. He had kept one-quintal sugar in an open container for his daughter Nita’s marriage. At that time, managing more sugar was very tough task. On important occasions, you would have to manage permit from block or subdivision. Ordinary persons were not capable to manage. Only a very qualified, matured, clever, and political person who always visited block and subdivision was capable to manage it. So, the farmer had managed the sugar in advance. He forgot to lid it. The result was obvious. After sometime, there was no sugar in the container. Ants ate it.

Nita was very beautiful and meritorious. She always topped in the class. But, some minus points were also in her. She was very simple, gentle, and sweet, which are great demerits and enemies of a beautiful woman. To increase importance and protect beauty of scented and beautiful flowers, the nature has made thorns around them and their availability tough. We get medicinal plants on the difficult Himalayas, jewels in the bottom of sea, mani (jewel) in the cobra, kasturi in deer, lions in the dense forest and saints in remote caves. Nita had none of these weapons. Nita had some other demerits also. She always acted to have positive remarks by others about her. She never acted according to her own decision. She always saw her in the mirrors of other’s eyes. She was so gentle that there was never ‘no’ on her tongue. She was always smiling. Naturally, she came in close contact of so many boys. Some were good but some bad also. The farmer was careless and very ignorant about his daughter. He settled her marriage with a doctor. But alas! Just one day before her marriage, she fled with a notorious boy.
