We Need To Imbibe Human Values From Every Person
Sometimes back I happened to hear a story: A teacher brings a piece of cloth to a classroom and spreads it in front of children. There was a small black spot on the cloth. He asked the children to write an essay on that piece of cloth. After a few days, he called the children for evaluation and told them they could not see beyond a small black spot on the cloth as most of the children had focussed their essay on that black spot and had written only a few lines about the white cloth. Some children wrote the entire essay on the black spot on the cloth. Today, man also has developed this habit of being ever ready to find the faults with others. Sometimes it happens that while talking about his acquaintance, he mentions that he is a good person but if he finds some shortcomings in that person, he starts dwelling on those shortcomings. The Mission teaches us to imbibe virtues from everyone, yet man does not look at his shortcomings and everyone is heard saying that the times are bad. We do not mind picking up a gold object even out of a drain, full of dirt, because we know its value. Price of gold keep varying but human values are priceless and we can never evaluate their worth. We need to imbibe human values from whatever person we can, ignoring shortcomings of that person.
Let Us Be Able To Embellish Our Life
Love, humility, immensity, humanity and compassion are the highest traits of a human being. We should be able to share each other's sorrows, listen to and understand other's problems, and be helpful. We should relieve others of their problems and difficulties. It is quite common to witness people creating troubles for others. The saints, on the contrary, make their wholehearted efforts ( through mind, speech and action ) to solve other's problems. Lord Nirankar has given us wisdom to become wiser. It is pity that we do not use this wisdom for our own selves; instead we start advertising others. We may have thousands of weaknesses and keep committing same mistakes, yet we do not hesitate to raise our fingers at others, and start advising them. We keep on praising ourselves and playing others down whereas the saints would put forward the qualities of others, keeping their own qualities behind. They never boast about their own qualities; rather go on learning good things from other's qualities. May Nirankar bless us so that we are able to rid ourselves of our mistakes one by one and embellish not just our own life but also be able to embellish the world.
