Awakening

Acharya Padmasagarsuri
Doubting anything is not Mithyatwa but keeping the doubt in one's mind without expressing it is Mithyatwa. Man must place his doubts before the Gurudev who knows the meaning of everything and get his doubts cleared through questions and answers. This helps man to develop faith in Reality and that will bring about in him Rightness or thoroughness (Samyaktwa). It also proves to be a source of inspiration for the right conduct and the performance of austerities.

The man who lives according to Dharma does not experience loneliness whether he is at home or in a forest. Dharma or Right conduct will always be his companion. There will be unity in his thought, word and deed.
मनस्येकं वचस्येकम् कर्मण्येकं महात्मनाम् । मनस्यन्यद्वचस्यन्यत् कर्मण्यन्यद् दुरात्मनाम् ॥
(Manasyekam Vachasyekam, Karmanyekam Mahatmanam Manasyandwachasyanyath, Karmanyanyad duratmanam)
There will be unity or oneness in thought, word and deed in the case of great men (Mahatmas); but in the case of wicked men (Duratmas) there will be a divorce between thought and word; and word and deed.
A noble person speaks out what he thinks; and acts according to what he says; but a wicked man does not possess this unity of thought, word and deed. His speech is different from his thought; his action is different from his words; and he is not trust worthy.
The words spoken by men of experience and spiritual excellence brighten our lives; show new ways to us; and lead us on the right path. Hence everybody should spend some time in the company of good men.
In the world, the rich man as well as the poor man has to face miseries and misfortunes. One dies of over eating; and the other dies of hung. But no one can be happy if he does not mix with good men.
