Dear Narayanas in Masks!

 

A WRITEUP BY SRINGERI SRI BHARATHI THEERTHA MAHASWAMIGAL!

 

Every man has self-respect. Whether he is educated or not, rich or poor, he is unable tobear any hurt to his self-respect. Not realizing this, a lot of people keep insulting others. Todo that is wrong.

 

More important, the one who has been insulted can create trouble. It would be idealto understand this and act accordingly. Hiranyakasipu insulted his son Prahlada.Finally, Hiranyakasipu was destroyed. Similarly, Duryodhana humiliated Draupadi in public. As

a result, he was utterly routed. The Puranas and Itihasas cite innumerable instancesof this kind.

It is necessary to develop a bhavam (understanding) that all these instances are notfictitious but offer us great lessons. Great people never ever hurt others. Sri Ramalooked upon every one of the vanara sena (monkey herd) with love and not with

disrespect. Therefore, he commanded the respect of all. Also, all people worshippedhim as God.

If we give respect to others, they will respect us. If we disregard them, no one willcare for us. In Uttara Ramacharitam, what Arundhati, the chaste wife of sage Vasishtha,said to Sita, who was younger than her, comes to mind.

 

Arundhati said:

 

Whether you are my child or pupil, let that remain as it is. The pre-eminent degreeof purity in you strengthens my attachment to you. Let there be childhood orwomanhood in you. That does not matter. You yourself will win the adoration of all. In

virtuous beings it is their virtues that are the objects of reverence, and not their sex orage.

 

With Love & OM!
