________________ is the root of sins.16 It may arise to the extent of killing even the elderly person. Valmiki insists this with all the force under his control and puts that nothing is inaccessible to this anger. To an angry man no words of the whole dictionary become redundunt and nobody becomes a friend." Hence one has to give up this anger, at least gradually. Thus, all these ten virtues can very well shape the future of not only a man but also of a state. These virtues constitute a sound meaningful life. The values behind these are exuberantly valuable. These are reflected in so many ways in all the branches of world literature. Regularity is the must in the practice of these religious high-grounds. Whatever little we impliment sincerely these essentials of universal religion the soft effect will be nicely experienced in our life for religion is an experience of truth. As a result of the practice of religion, it is sure, that it will never go unawarded.

That is why great religious thinkers give an importance to non -anger (Akrodha) which imbibes non-violence too. They give a vigours call to us to be solicitous for the human welfare. Standing on the platform of religion - these are selfsufficient to provide plain guidelines to a good way of life. Readers of all the times are impelled to appreciate the simplicity of these virtues and the vigour behind them. These are impressive beyond comparison. Poets and preachers emphasise here to adopt these virtues at the expense of our life. These constitute a sound personality full of pleasing characteristics. These virtues, when found in their respective religions of the world exercise remarkable influence on the minds of the followers by their powerful impacts. Every virtue is a soft vehicle that carries the mission of globalization as they are acceptable and appealing to all in the world. The universal ideas hidden in these aspects are the 681
