Build Your Own World
DEVENDRA UPPAL
|
Sacred scriptures say , “Kritam lokam purushoabhijayte“ -Man himself builds his own world. Man has been called `kratumaya purusha' because he acts according to his resolves that are born out of his ideas, thoughts and desires. The consequence of his actions gives direction to his life and determines his future.Human life should be `yajnamaya', that is, full of non-violent actions like karmas done for welfare of society and also for one's divine progress. Sacrificial actions include noble deeds, rendering service to all selflessly and observing purity of action, speech and thought for achieving realisation.
Sublime thoughts are said to be the panacea of all ills present in the world. A scriptural verse says, “Sansar deergh rogasya, suvichar maha-aushdhi'.Virtuous company , quality and secular education, ideal guidance by parents and positive thoughts help one to cultivate a sacred character and inner grace. This is the very basis of a successful and purposeful life.
In spiritual parlance, the greed, attachment, sins, jealousy and crime -known as vikarmas -have been called `kudiar', or dirt, denoting tamoguna and auspicious actions have been defined as `sachiar', or truth, depicting satoguna and sukarmas. Actions under sachiar are those such as charity , welfare of others and personal progress as a seeker. The devotee prays, “Aum kudiar prasuva, sachiar aasuva“ -O God, I pray to thee, sins may go away from me and virtuous living may come my way!
