RULES TO WALK IN LIFE – PART 4 DR. SUSHIL RUDRA
 by Sushil Rudra



RULES TO WALK IN LIFE
Yong hi na bathayante purusam purusharisav . Samahdukhasukham dhiram sohamrtataya kalpote”. – Gita

“This is my prayer to thee , my lord – strike, strike , at the root of penury in my heart.

Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.

Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.

Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.

Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.

And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love”. – Gitanjali , Rabindranath Tagore , 36 no poem.

RULE : NEVER TO BEND DOWN :

Never to disown the poor or bend our knees before insolent might. This is to be our motto in life.

Rabindranath Tagore wrote this verse in the year of 1901 in his ” Noiveddya Anthology. It’s been the 2nd change of his poetic thought. From this anthology, his mind turns into a spiritual thoughts. During this period he composed the poems of Gitanjali, Gitali, and Gitimalya.. From Kheya to Gitali , we have seen his propensity to dependancy on God. Our country has been going through a massive problems. The freedom movement is going on. Sree Aurobindo’s revolutionary movement had impacted a lot. British Government has been trying to divide Bengal. Tagore came to forefront to protesting against it. In such a condition, he actively participated in politics ( in freedom movement) . Though he was a romantic poet , despite he couldn’t able to confine in the four wall of home , and came out to serve his country. Our first and foremost duty is to serve our Motherland.

To Arjuna, it’s a fight against the untruth, immoral. Hence , Sri Krishna tried to rectify Arjuna’s misconceptions & misunderstanding about life. As there’s no death of soul, so why are you lamenting ? – ” nanusochitum ahorsi “. Krishna, in this way, consoling Arjuna.

RULE : DON’T FIGHT SHY FROM YOUR DUTY
Dear Arjuna, you are a hero or warrior. Your duties are to fight against the enemies. An warrior never ran away from the battle field. So , Arjuna, don’t be afraid of . You are Khatriya . If you flee from the war , the opposition will take it otherwise that you’re coward . ” Jassyosi laghabam “. They will think that you are running away from the battlefield having feared. Though you are telling that they’re my reletives, how can I kill them, but they would think that you are coward. They will blame you. Once they had been shown respect to you – ” Jesam ch tang bahumatoh “. If you don’t challenge in this battle they would have been criticized you as cowardice. So , please, don’t avoid it. ” Hato ba prapsyosi swargam “. – if you die during fight , you will go to heaven. Battling is your duty , your worship. You should obey your worship . If you die in this fight, it’s a matter of pride . In fact, you have an inherent nature. As the nature of the fire is hotness , the nature of water is coldness, just as we have under a nature. The nature of Khatriya is to fight. We can remember here an incident of Mahabharata .

Karna went to Parushuram to learn warfare in disguise. He didn’t say that he is a Khatriya. But he could not able to keep secrecy. And had to confess . He was bitten by an worm and therefore heavy bleeding was being came out from this place. Paroshuram was totally wetted with the massive flowing of blood. He was awoken up and told Karna , ” You are certainly a Khatriya. If not, you couldn’t bear this tremendous pain .

So, it’s proved that no one can hide his inner nature . Thus Sri Krishna tried to argue dejected Arjuna that you are fighting for truth and to establish morality and ethics, virtue and righteousness. Not only Kauraba are related to the evil deeds and corruption, almost all the nations , societies also are wrapped in corruption, unethical activities . They forgot ethics, morality, righteousness and spirituality. Kauraba was one the representative of it. They’re addicted , frenzied, and fighting each other. By wish of God , Sri Krishna they were ruined. It was fixed, inevitable, unavoidable. This is the nature of the time.

RULES TO WALK IN LIFE : THE SIGNIFICANCE 
      Bhwagavan Sri Krishna in culcates that participation in war, and especially in a holy war is more honourable and gainful for a Ksatrya than attenment of heaven ( 2.32). Sri Krishna reminds Arjuna that if he fails in his obligatory duty , he will not only lose heaven but will also commit sin. Moreover, everybody will speak ill of him for his cowardice and to put up with such infamy is more painful than death .

He also warns Arjuna that if he stays away from the battle, Duryodhana and his associates will take it as reflection of his timidity and consequently those that honour him will treat him with contempt. He further tells that if he dies in the battle, he will reach heaven, and if he wins the battle, he will enjoy kingship. Therefore, he should awake , arise and take part in the battle with iron determination. Bhwagavan gives Arjuna a marvelous sermons in verse . –

Sukha – dukkhe same krtva labha – alabhau , / Tatah yuddhaya na evam papam avapsyasi”. Gita 2:38 .

RULES TO WALK IN LIFE: BE INDIFFERENT IN ANY INVIRONMENT

Never shelter any too much emotion , may it be joyous or sorrowful. Be indifferent to any good or bad situation. He says Arjuna that being indefferent to joyous and sorrows, gain and loss, victory and defeat, he should play his role as a warrior. Because this is the call of the hour and reiterates that by killing his foes, he will commit no sin . If he doesn’t fight against the enemies , vice would rule the societies . The battlefield is called dharmakshetra (1:1) as the war that’s going on to take place is a holy war , a war against the satanic forces and the call of the hour for Arjuna is to take part in the battle for the sake of social welfare, if not for anything else. ” Tasmat uttisthata kounteyo juddhya kritanischaiah”. Be bold and determine to fight against the enemies. It’s your worship. Arjuna told previously that I won’t fight against my relatives. Rather I will beg for living. In reply, Bhwagavan says : “Shreyan swadharmo begunah”. You are a Khatriya king. Why should you go to beg for? It’s not your profession. Battling is your worship, not begging! If you fail to success in your work , that’s good. But keep it mind:” Paro dharmat swanuthitat”. That means , you don’t follow other‘s means. Begging is for Brahmins and sanyasys. They can, but you have not right to beg for. Swadharme nidhonang shreyah – you are warrior. So let go on to fight. Parodharmo swanusthitat – don’t derail from your own means. ” Tasmat uttisthata kounteyo juddhya kritanischaiah”.
