Leave the company of bad and evil at all conditions. Because it will lead
to desires (worldly/bad), from the non fulfillment of these desires, anger
and moha (attachment) will arise and further in this chain the buddhi
(intelligence) will get destroyed and at theend it will be total
destruction. The bad qualities, even though present in small traces in the
human mind, like that of tiny waves, would eventually get developed in to a
big ocean due to the company of bad andevil people!
प्रावाद: सत्यम् एव अयं त्वां प्राति प्राायशो नॄप |

After seeing the dead body of her husband Ravana, Mandodari uttered, “It is
said that when the tears of a pati-vrata (a devout wife) drop on the land, they
do not go waste. And this has been proved once again in your case.” Vrata
means that which is strictly followed with utmost devotion and missionary
zeal. Sita, having followed the vrata of being devoted to her Lord Rama,
had attained a spritual and moral depth. And Ravana having captured and
tortured such an elevated soul had to pay for his sin. Mandodari’s wisdom
has to appreciated that even in the time of greatest sorrow she could
understand the real cause of her husband’s demise.

Yaksha had asked Yudhishthira, “What is the news?” In answer to that
Yudhishthira said – In this frying pan of great illusion (the world), Time
is cooking theCreatures with the fire of the sun having the days and nights
as it’s fuel and the months and seasons constituting it’s ladle. This is
news. Time consumes everything and hence one should utilize the
available little
time for his own emancipation. Many people do not realise that they are
gradually being consumed by time and hence that is the news deserving widest
publicity.

Background - Yaksha put forth the following question to Yudhishthira - “Who
is the enemy of men difficult to conquer and what is the endless disease?
What is the nature of a good man and what is the nature of a bad man?”. The
above Subhashita is the answer given by Yudhishthira - Anger is the enemy
of men difficult to conquer and covetousness (greed) is the endless desire. A
good man is one who seeks welfare of all beings and a bad man is one who
has no compassion or mercy.
यस्य कॄत्यं न जानन्ति मंत्रं वा मंत्रितं परे |

One cannot guess what a person is going to do. One cannot understand
or appreciate
a person’s advice or the importance of the task as emphasised by him/her. Only
after people see the sweet fruits as a result of doing such a task
then one recognises
such a person’s greatness, who can be rightly called as a ‘Pandit’. To give
an example, Veer Savarkar gave call to Indian youths during second world
war to join British Army. This was the time when anti-British sentiments among
the Indians was at it’s peak and many people wondered that how can such a
patriot and a crown of Indian revolutionaries say such thing! But
after the independence
people saw the fruits of Veer Savarkar’s appeal. A slave nation having been
deprived of arms for centuries needed experienced soldiers having expertise
in modern arms and ammunitions for building an independent army. Indian
Army General Shri Thimappa in the post independent India was soldier in secon
world war!!

This ‘shloka’ is from Mahabharata and so the reader should be familiar with
this famous epic to understand and appreciate the meaning of the ‘shloka’. With
Bhishma and Drona as it’s banks, Jayadratha as it’s water, Gandhara as blue
lily, Salya as shark, Kripa as the speed of the water flow, karna as it’s
breakers, Ashwatthama and vikarna as it’s killer whales and Duryodhana as
it’s whirlpools, the river of battle was successfully crossed by Pandavas,
only because their boatman was Lord Krishna.

Truth is my mother, knowledge is my father, ‘Dharma’ is my brother,
Mercifulness
is my friend, Calmness(peacefulness) is my wife and forgiveness my son. There
six are my kith and keens. { More to follow KR IRS 28 8 23}
