In order to build a better world, spiritualists tend to imbibe good qualities from every profession, says Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj Ji
All over the world, we find that people of almost every profession have some special personality traits because of the nature and demand of their profession. This factor makes people different from each other in various respects.
For example, scientists and technologists have the tendency to believe things only if they can be demonstrated or proved correct by application of certain laws or through precise mathematical theorems. Artists, on the other hand, have a sense of aesthetics or beauty and can notice harmony or disharmony in colour, contours or tones and tunes. Similarly, people in medical profession are inclined to diagnose the cause of a problem and to know the cure or remedy needed. Literateurs and linguists form the habit of using words in their precise sense and very much keep in mind the need of being clear in their expression. Religious teachers /preachers always look towards the moral side of things and see as to what a karma will lead us to. Psychologists have their attention on the complexes and syndromes of the person whom they meet and talk to, and they analyse their behaviour in those terms. Administrators have their focus on doing things in an organised manner. They fix their goals, time-limits and strategy well in advance. Businessmen tend to invest time and money in things which bring them more profits. They know their customers well and the art of selling things. Industrialists and technologists are practical people who want to put their plans into practical act. Judges develop their sense of judgement and the art of arriving at truth. Advocates plead their cases forcefully and with clarity, putting the needed emphasis on certain facts and incidents. Teachers know the art of teaching and making their point clear.
Lastly, there are spiritualists whose goal is perfection and who have to have all the specialities in their life. They inculcate the ability of investing their time and energy in result giving activities like a good businessman does. They have to do things in an organised and systematic manner as an able administrator does. They have to be precise in their thinking and in the use of language as a literateur or a linguist would be. They have to know the art of educating, convincing and persuading others so that they take the spiritual knowledge for their enlightenment and release themselves from sufferings. They also have to be more practical in their life like an industrialist and have the vigour of a youth, the tender feelings of a mother, the maturity of an aged person, the simple-heartedness of a small baby and so on. It is only after they inculcate these traits or values, can they reach the stage of perfection. In order to build a ‘better world,’ spiritualists have to do the service of all and while doing so, they get an opportunity to imbibe good qualities of every profession. Hence, they have a double duty to perform i.e towards self and others.
