Yajurved 20/25 has given us the instruction that - While
it is necessary to keep alive good deeds, it is also essential to destroy
wicked people. Only by a combination of knowledge and action, a wholesome
spiritual life is possible. That society where the knowledge of the Brahmans
and the brightness of the Kshatriya (the warrior-caste) will be together, that
society will always thrive.
Message: In the holy Gita, God has himself said that from
time to time he manifests on this earth as an incarnation, for what reason?
"paritranaya sadhu nam, vinashayacha dushkrutam", is his goal, i.e.
to protect the saints and those who work for the good of the society and to
destroy the wicked, the corrupt and the sinful ones. If the matter cannot be
solved by persuasion, peaceful approach, or money or punishment or by causing a
rift among them, then their destruction becomes a religious duty. 'Nishicharaheen
karahun mahi' i.e. let me free this earth from wicked and demoniac persons.
That is the basic mantra or axiom to make the world happy. Only such action was
able to establish Ramrajya.
It is not necessary that God should manifest on this
earth as a person playing the flute (Lord Krishna) or with bows and arrows
always, at every place. HE exists in every pore, every cell of our
representatives, the princes whom He loves and we continuously receive His
grace and innumerable blessings. We ourselves only should utilize our talents
and capacity for good deeds and for destroying evils. This is the real 'manavdharma'
(duty as a human being). The usefulness of human body lies in the endeavor of
acquiring knowledge and putting it into action, otherwise there is no
difference between uss and animals.
The difference between man and animal is only that the
animal is not bound by any restraint but man is bound by thousands of
restraints, rules and responsibilities. It is his duty to fulfill the
responsibilities and the tasks allotted to him. Our duty towards our mind is to
make it sadguni (i.e. filled with moral qualities). Our duty towards our
country, our religion, society and culture is that we pay utmost attention for
their uplift. It is our duty to uplift our soul (for deliverance ) by freeing
ourselves from greed, attachment etc and
it is our duty to fulfill the task for which God has given us birth in the
human species. It is our pious duty to go on increasing our knowledge and
talents and be at our best conduct according to such knowledge and talents.
This is real endeavor of 'gyanayog and karmayog'. This is the true devotion to
God. it confers glory of humanity on the man.
We are forgetting today the injunction that all the four
castes should work together for the uplift of the society. With the rule of
this knowledge the society becomes bright, powerful and achieves progress and
flourishes.
