________________ MANAV DHARMA / 105 to face various types of troubles, agonies, mental tortures. From the above instances, it is very well proved that in this world, there is none to provide good or bad to any one. If some thing good or wrong is caused to any one, that is all due to his merits or demerits, attributes or aversions known as Punya or Paap, Karmas. Meaning to say is that if any thing ill or wrong happens to any one, that is all due to his present or past aversions and if any thing good or beneficial is caused to any one, that is due to his present or past attributes and merits known as PUNYA Karmas. When a man goes in such a deep thinking, then he never concludes that this particular man is to be worshipped or that other man should be given a punishment or beating. He neither becomes pleased nor annoyed with any one; he neither feels or expresses feelings of pleasure for any one nor feelings of hatred and jealousy. For whom should he have an option for protection or of removal ? All is bound to happen which is supposed to happen by nature antomatically. A man gets the result or reward of the consequences of his own doings. Hence the wise man always try to overcome the feelings of pride and deceit and make efforts to be away from such feelings and to establish internal and external peace. Suppose if two sons of a mother, with one or another reasons, start quarrelling together, in such a case, it becomes the duty of the parents, without blaming any one for his wrong behaviour, to maintain the feeling of equanimity towards both of them and then make them understand with love and affection that they, being brothers, should live friendly with each other, instead of quarrelling together. In the same way the wise man should observe the sense of equanimity towards every one. Not only this but in his inner self thinking, he always entertains an humble feeling that not only man, but every living creature, should live peacefully with each other. One day, it comes that this feeling of deep love and affection, without any selfishness, for the humanity as a whoile, uplifts him from a man to. Superman i.e. God. He becomes a super spiritual power from an ordinary wise Ascetic with all social and moral attributes. येन स्वयंवीत-कलङ्कविद्या-दृष्टि-क्रिया-रत्नकरण्ड भावम्। नीतस्तमायाति पतीच्छयेव, सर्वार्थसिद्धिस्त्रिषु विष्टपेषु ॥१४९॥ Explanation: Who ever turns himself into a jewel - box (i.e. an abiding place) of faultless, wisdom, faith and conduct, to him comes success in all his undertakings in the three worlds like a woman eager to join her lord.
