Index of greatness
The real prestige of a man lies in godly
virtues manifested in every department of his life—in his divine life. Wealth
and position have nothing to do with life’s greatness. Wealth can be possessed
even by dacoits given to atrocious deeds. Nay, wicked demons too may
temporarily occupy the throne of a universal monarch through their demoniac
power, which is a source of terror to the whole world.
They who have brought a stain on the face of
humanity by their evil deeds and wicked dealings, and who are setting up a mean
and depraved ideal before the world through their immoral acts, may for a while
win false acclamation and esteem by overawing with their wealth and authority a
section of humanity who are generally vain flatterers, deluded and given to
sensuous enjoyment. But they are bound to reap the terrible consequences of
their misdeeds.
Just as a successful thief or robber secures
honour and respect in his own circle of thieves and dacoits, even so a man can
win applause and acquire pre-eminence in the company of fallen souls by the
superiority of his degenerate acts. But this respect and honour, applause and
reputation, further degrade him. And he can never elude the observation, laws
and punishment of the Omnipotent Lord who awards the fruit of all good and evil
deeds.
A man may practice hypocrisy by pretending
goodness and putting on the garb of a gentleman in order to cheat guileless
folk, and may even succeed in his evil designs. But his dissimulation can never
deceive the All-knowing Lord. He will stand unmasked before Him and cannot
escape the bitter fruits of his actions.
An impostor may believe that he is very
clever and can very easily hoodwink the people; but alas! In reality he
deceives himself. He loses his real wealth—the wealth of divine properties and
thus does he incalculable harm.
The following twenty-six are the principal
divine traits or divine virtues; fearlessness, purity of mind, Sattvika form),
control of the senses, Yajna (a tendency to worship God and perform sacrifices
for His propitiation), habitual study of the Vedas and other scriptures and
chanting of Divine Names, austerity, guilelessness, non-violence in thought,
word and deed, truthfulness, absence of anger, self-denial, placidity of mind,
disinclination towards malicious gossip, compassion towards all beings,
ungrabbing nature, amiability, sense of shame in committing evil deeds, absence
of frivolity, sublimity, forbearance, fortitude, external purity, bearing
enmity to none and absence of self-esteem.
They who endowed with the above-mentioned
divine gifts shall secure their release from the bondage of mundane existence
and attain God-realization thus realizing the goal of their human birth.
Contrary to this, they who possess the demoniac and devilish traits depicted
earlier will not only meet with their downfall here but will be further
involved interminably in the trammels of worldly existence.
The manhood of a man lies only in adoring the
Lord Himself and including others to do the same. On the other hand, he who is
given to the pursuit of sensual pleasures alone is a veritable beast; while he
who resorts to violence, mendacity, unlawful means, hypocrisy and actions
prohibited by the scripture for the sake of obtaining sensuous enjoyment is a
demon or devil in human garb.
Grace of God, great God
