It’s important that we resolve to live life strictly on principles laid down by the Supreme to usher a new world, says Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj
Humanity has departed from this world’, ‘man has become worse than a beast’ or ‘man has become stone-hearted’ are a few words that we frequently hear these days. Needless to say that these disappointing words are a result of the pathetic state of society that we are living in.
According to learned saints, it is humanity that differentiates a man from a demon or devil. We all have experienced this in our lives that people with devilish traits are not only unhappy with themselves but they also make others unhappy. Such people, while seeking their selfish ends, don’t care that their actions are hurting others and causing mental agony to them. Out of arrogance, they always end up violating rules of conduct and morality as well as social conventions.
That is why it is said that ‘a demon does not know the value of honesty, faithfulness, obedience and civility, whereas, for a man, these are basic values.’ Crudeness and wickedness are both combined in the temperament of a demon while man’s disposition shows balance and discipline combined with sweetness.
Thus honesty, faithfulness, integrity, civility and etiquette, discipline or self-control and balance of mind are human virtues that help to maintain stability, peace and love in human relations, thereby preventing troubles, quarrels and squabbles and consequent peacelessness in the world. However, the scenario that we see today is very grim and worrying because the society is gripped by devilish forces that force man to indulge in various kinds of anti-social, cruel and destructive activities, as a result of which he commits crime, disrupts social life by resorting to sabotage and vandalism and destroys the peace of the community. A person dominated by greed or arrogance is liable to commit similar acts.
It may thus be said that humility and vicelessness are human values whereas self-conceit and other passions are devilish traits. And as the best creation of God, it becomes mandatory that we humans possess these values or virtues. But what we practically see today is that, owing to the disruption of these human values, the world has turned from heaven to hell and hence, by re-establishing of these values alone, New Age be ushered into this world. So, let’s make a strong resolve to live our life strictly on the principles laid down by the Supreme.
