Guest guest Posted March 23, 2000 Report Share Posted March 23, 2000 This is a wonderful explanation! Thank you. Gokulmuthu N <gomu Hello, The best example for Shradda are the words of Nachiketa in the KathaUpanisad. When his father gives away useless things in charity, youngNachiketa feels that he should remind his father of his duties. He thinksthus, "I am not the best in the world; I am not bad either. I am someonewho can know good from the bad atleast to an extent. I am sure that whatmy father is doing is not right. If my father gives me in charity, I canbring some merit to my father, which will counter act his wrong deed."This right understanding of one's worth, which results in positive actionis called Shradda. Shradda can be translated as "faith in oneself". Itis not over-confidence and it is not self-degradation.With love,Gomu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
