Pranam
Everyone knows that The first verse of the earth is Rig Vedam "Agni mele"
verse; have you known what is the last?; and that last spoke about change
everyone shall seek (needed and spoken today) requesting all to wake up
Uthishta jakradha. ARISE AND TAKE CARE
1 समानी व आकूति: समाना हृदयानि व: |
समानमस्तु वो मनो यथा व: सुसहासति ॥
यथा व: सुसहा असति ॥
SAMANI CHA AAKRITHI SAMANA HRUDAYAANI VAA/
SAMANAMASTHU VO MANO VA YATHA VA SUSAHASATHI//
YATHA VA SUSAHA ASATHI///
ऋग्वेद/ RIGVEDAM
This is the *last 'śloka'* in the Rigveda. It states - Let your conclusions
be one (or be alike), Let your hearts be the same (or be alike) [So that
"everyone" feels for the same particular bad/ill in the society in the same
intensity. It may be the common experience that not all feel for the same
problem in the 'intensity' that we as individual may feel for that. Due to
this there may be lack of 'collective' efforts to solve that problem]. Let
your minds think alike/similar. May all these factors make your
organisational-power an impressive one. This 'śloka' can be called as an
'saṅgaṭhan-sūkta' i.e. guidelines for building an impressive
organisation/nation.
Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak had ended his book 'Geeta Rahasya' by this
'shloka'.
2 And what one shall do nad refrain from:
कर्तव्यमाचरम् कामम् कर्तव्यमनाचरम् |
तिष्ठति प्राकृताचारो य स: आर्य इति: ॥
Kartavya maa charam kaamam karthavya manaa charam
Thishtathi prakrtha charo ya sa ARYA iti//
A person who does the things which are to be done and who doesn't do the
things which are not to be done; a person who stands by tradition
("prakṛtācāro"), is called "Arya".
The term "Arya" is used to refer to elder or respectable person in India.
This subhāṣita give some of the characteristics of 'Arya'. A person who
does the things which he is supposed to do i.e. good things, and does not
do any bad, can be called Arya.. In short, the one who obeys dharma is
Arya. 'Arya' does not reflect any race.
Here Tirukkural had said the opposite but the intent is same:{KR}

<https://www.ytamizh.com/thirukural/kural-466/>:
செய்தக்க அல்ல செயக்கெடும் செய்தக்க
செய்யாமை யானுங் கெடும்.
ஒருவன் செய்யத்தகாத செயல்களைச் செய்வதனால் கெடுவான், செய்யத்தக்க செயல்களை

English Couplet 466:
'Tis ruin if man do an unbefitting thing;
Fit things to leave undone will equal ruin bring.
Couplet Explanation:
He will perish who does not what is not fit to do; and he also will perish
who does not do what it is fit to do.

3 And political situation tody":
राजा राष्ट्रकृतम् पापम् राज्ञः पुरोहित: ।
भर्ता च स्त्रीकृतम् पापम् शिष्यपापम् गुरु: तथा ॥
RAJA RASHTRA KRTHAM, PAPAM RAJA PUROHITHA:/
BHARTHACHA STREE KRTHAM, PAPAM SISYA PAPAM GURU THATHA//
If a country goes in a wrong way/ does a sin then the king should be held
responsible. If king commits a sin then his advisors/ministers should be
held responsible. If a women does a wrong thing then her husband should be
held responsible and if a student ('shishya') commits a sin then his
teacher ('guru') should be held responsible.
And why you are frightened if you are equipped with :
धैर्य यस्य पिता क्षमा च जननी शान्ति: चिरम् गेहिनी सत्यम् सूनु: अयम् दया च
भगिनी भ्राता मन: संयम: ।
शय्या भूमितलम् दिश: अपि वसनम् ज्ञानामृतम् भोजनम् एते यस्य कुटुम्बिन: वद !
सखे कस्माद् भयम् योगिन: ॥
Dairya yasya pitha shyama cha Janani shanti chiram gehini satyam sunu ayam
daya cha bagini bratha mana s amyama:/ sayya boomithalam disha pi vasanam
gnanamrutham bojanam yethe yasya kutumbina: vad sake kasmad bayam yogina://
A person for whom courage is his father, forgiveness ( kshama ) is his
mother, calmful mind is his wife, Truth is his son, compassion his sister
and control of mind is his brother. And for whom this earth is a bed, the
directions ( disha in sanskrit ) like the cloths and the knowledge is his food.
When all these make up his family then for which thing will that person be
scared of? Isn't this a very unique subhashita indeed? What else will the
person need to overcome the challenges that may face him in his life?
4 and finally
स्वभावो नोपदेशेन शक्यते कर्तुमन्यथा |
सुतप्तमपि पानीयं पुनर्गच्छति शीतताम् ||
Svabhavo nopadeshan, shakyathe karthumanyathe/ suthapramapi paniyam,
punargachathi sheethatham//
One cannot change nature of a person by giving him a advice or telling him
good things. (as even) If water is heated, after some time it again attains
its normal temperature. Subhashit explains how difficult it is to change
nature of a person. Everybody must have experienced this. If we find that a
person needs to improve in certain thing, and try to explain that to him,
may be he will accept it that time. But after some time you will find him
back with all his traits. This behaviour is similar to water. water is
normally cold. you can heat it to change its this usual properly. But after
some time you will find that water is cold again.
