TULSI-PRAJNA
found to be more laudable and acceptable to others. The onus to be able to do so before the eyes of others shall be the sole responsibility of the man himself, because others expect only a good behaviour from the person and nothing more or nothing less from him.
So, if the man is determined to behave as a good and righteous person, he can definitely do this in the corresponding and conforming manner. But if he is shaky, jittery or cannot come up to the expectations, of others due to lack of confidence, conviction, competence, determination etc. he may not be able to achieve the real objective, though, otherwise by chance, he may be having some material with him. To do rightly or wrongly is the sole criterion of the man and man alone himself and not of his other fellow-beings. CONCLUSION
It, therefore, becomes crystal clear that in order to be able to tread to the path of divinism or better to say spiritualism, one is pre-supposed to be endowed with a high degree of human character as well as the social, moral and ethical values at the physical plane, only then one can make a take-off for the divinism or spiritualism stage which forms a study at the metaphysical plane. One's perfection or near perfection both at the physical and metaphysical plane is so closely interlinked that we cannot treatise the one without the other.
In a conclusive manner, we may add here that we have to first be a perfectionist of the highest order at the physical plane, only then we can think to make a start for the spiritual plane and not before that. It is very clear and without any iota of doubt. As regards the study at the spiritual plane, the aids in the form of theosophy, vedantic literature and the like come to our rescue.
