Guest guest Posted March 22, 2000 Report Share Posted March 22, 2000 Hello, The best example for Shradda are the words of Nachiketa in the Katha Upanisad. When his father gives away useless things in charity, young Nachiketa feels that he should remind his father of his duties. He thinks thus, " I am not the best in the world; I am not bad either. I am someone who can know good from the bad atleast to an extent. I am sure that what my father is doing is not right. If my father gives me in charity, I can bring some merit to my father, which will counter act his wrong deed. " This right understanding of one's worth, which results in positive action is called Shradda. Shradda can be translated as " faith in oneself " . It is not over-confidence and it is not self-degradation. With love, Gomu. -- ---------- Email: gomu Phone: +91 80 6689904 Webpages: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/1863 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/2973 ---------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
