Do Good....

At times we find that people around us are cheating us, fooling us or back stabbing us. And most of the times we are tempted to return the favor as and when we get a chance.

 

Lets try a different path next time though, Be on guard from such people, don’t let them succeed in their motives and harm you but don’t cheat, fool or back stab them. Help them if you can. There’s a verse in Hindi:

“ Jo tako kaanta boye,

        tahe boye tu fool,

           Tako fool k fool hain,

                   Wako hai trisul.”

 

Meaning, if someone sows thorns on your path let him do that. You still sow flowers on his path, you will get flowers as you sowed and  he’ll get a Trishul  a weapon with three sharp ends on one side.

 

So you keep your karma good. Remember, As you sow, so shall you reap. Don’t try to harm anyone and God will protect you from any harm. “ Neki kar dariya mein dal”, means do good and forget it or throw it in the sea or river, don’t expect someone to return the favor but still you be good to everyone. Some people might think you are being foolish but let them think what they want. You don’t need a certificate of wisdom from anyone.

 

Seeing you some people around you will change, seeing them few others might change over a  period of time. Thus, the chain would continue. It’ll eventually make world a better place to win.

it is nice to see that some believes in Gandhian philosophies in this age.. but honestly, the world is bad.. People are waiting to push out of the way so that they can get that promotion or that salary raise. Being good to everyone is very good and all, but somewhere down the line, you will be frustrated as others get ahead of you. This I say from having watched people live their lives. That much you have to be ready for. If you are, well and good.

well... I never told to sacrifice n let others take a better salary. I only said dont harm anyone. Do compete but dont take recourse to unfair means. Dont be a fool and let others harm you, do guard yourself, do guard your interest. Not defending oneself is a crime too.
