Q and A goes in without understanding the theme but as a paste to protect one's image, against the truth. Q1 "Hard to follow" is an idiom meaning "difficult to understand". And here some are provided from the self-perspective where someone highlighted something too on self preservation. That is not the golden rule. Golden rules appear to be hard, only because the preachers are the only violators. And the violators, remorseless crooks shall not speak the Vedas as it behoves themselves. And in the web site there are hard to follow 75 exercise and food virtues, and that can also be copied filling 15 pages. There are family rule as "Treat People and Property With Respect, Do not hurt anyone’s feelings (no yelling, put-downs, or name-calling). Knock on Closed Doors Before Entering, Pick up After Yourself,\\Make Amends When You Hurt Someone//Tell the Truth//Practice Good Dental and Body Hygiene// Attend Family Meetings etc. Why were they excluded? Where only you think you can quit when you are still isin demand is persistent, and not after going down as Vijay, but cleverly defending his action, when he was forced to quit. Money is a hook and no one can desist by retirement unless there is a bigger catch. Q2 AROUND THE WORLD IN 55 DAYS. AT 33 KNOTS SPEED EVEN FULLY LOADED CAN MAKE SPEEDY TRAVEL. ALSO THERE ARE PORTS TO TOUCH NEARBY ON THE SAME DAY TOO. Q4 ONE WHO PREACHES ARE NOT GOOD FOLLOWERS THEY SAY. Q5 HOW COME THE RAMAYANA AND MAHABHARATHA MISSED YOUR EYES BUT SOMETHING ELSE WHOSE MISSION, ONE WERE TO HEAR? 1. One distinct difference in other hero’s stories is the presence of a coming of age or great transformation through learning and life experience. Rama is already 25, when his story begins and may be viewed as less dynamic, but in no way shows a less fascinating hero. Rama has already been tempered through his development and makes decisions based upon the Hindu beliefs of self discipline and compassion, which helps them to achieve a higher moral plane and honor through commitment. At one point in “The Ramayana,” Rama loses his self control and lets his emotions run wild. Rama is at the point of a breakdown, from the loss of his wife, Sita, at the hands of Ravana and has seemed to have lost hope. This anguish seems to be his one weakness, similar to that of his mother, Kausalya, who believes she will surely perish at the loss of her son. She had stated that she would follow him and abandon her husband, but in his belief that this was unrighteous, Rama instructs her to stay and she tempers herself to do so. Rama must take his own advice and work to achieve his enlightened state, once again, gaining his self control. Once directed by the nature that surround him (animals as a collective), he is given hope, but is determined to wreak havoc and spread hate upon the demon, which has taken Sita. Rama’s alter ego, Laksmana, who is normally the aggressive and pragmatic character, actually has to advise and calm Rama and save him again from his wild emotions. These trials act as lectures to the temperament of all men and how one should conduct themselves. The ability to set aside ones emotions, such as Rama and Kausalya have done in this text, is examplirary to the compassion for other and truth of self, gained through temperment and understanding.
2. Arjuna is a noble man, who is chosen to represent a dilemma that mankind faces in every day battles as well as the tough decisions one must make in their lifetime. In the Bhagavad-Gita, Arjuna sees no apparent point in the battling between kinsmen and asks of the point to Krishna. It enfolds as a duty, which must be fulfilled as it is Arjuna’s role in this life as a warrior to do so or face shame. The action faced in war, such as killing, is not reflected as a true sin, as it is not something that is sought or desired, but is simply a necessity to serve purpose. Achilles also serves his purpose as a warrior and lives without regret for the killing other men. He is simply fulfilling his duty and lives by a code of honor that does not deem killing in the name of one’s duty as action requiring repentance. The portion of the code outlined by Krishna, basically summarizes that actions are necessary, but the intent is what determines the effect on a persons’s soul and brings the weight of sin. Krishna states, “Look to your own duty,k do not tremble before it; nothing is better for a warrior than a battle of sacred duty. The doors of heaven open for warriors who rejoice to have a battle like this thrust on them by chance. If you fail to wage this war of sacred duty, you will abandon your own duty and fame only to gain evil. People will tell of your undying shame, and for a man of honor shame is worse than death.” KR IRS 22 7 23 On Sat, 22 Jul 2023 at 08:12, 'N Sekar' via iyer123 < [email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Sri G K. > > I can't stop myself from responding to your Q 1 answer that says "Know > when to Quit". > > I have read that Vijay Merchant, the famous cricketer of yore (and there > is a joke on his slow scoring but he was a good batsman known for his dour, > dogged batting) replied famously when asked why did he quit when he was > still scoring runs, thus > > "I would prefer to quit when people ask me why, and not why not?" > > There is a famous saying "Quit when the going is Good" and Vijay Merchant > followed that advice. > > Another equivalent of the above saying is "Don't overstay your welcome". > > Sunil Gavaskar also quoted Merchant's reply when he was asked why was he > retiring after his near century in his last test against Pakistan. > > The advice is worth remembering and following. > > N Sekar > > > On Saturday, July 22, 2023 at 06:10:48 PM GMT+4, '[email protected]' > via KeralaIyers <[email protected]> wrote: > > > *CULTURAL QA 07-2023-22A* > > Q1 Can you tell seven Rules hard to practice but valuable > > A1 Elia Juniana,7h > > Be aware of your limitations.
