Meaning: As stated in the Atharvaved 6/45/1 that we have to keep our mind always busy. In order that your mind does not wander away in bad thoughts, keep it busy in some work or the other, that is do not allow it to remain idle.
Message: In His message to Arjun, Lord Shri Krishna has said that some people in the world possess divine wealth (daivee sampada), while others have aaswri sampada i.e. demoniac tendencies. The people with divine thoughts and tendencies are free from fear because of their pure hearts and are capable of knowing the philosophy because of dhyaanyog (i.e. paying careful attention). They are always doing 'saatvik' works i.e. good works with morality and honesty. They keep their senses under control and study scriptures regularly. Their speech is pleasant and they do not trouble anyone through their minds, bodies and speech. Pride is not able to sway them and despite carrying out their deeds in the world, they remain unattached and fulfill the aim of human life. There is no need to say anything about people with demoniac nature. Such people are seen everywhere undergoing unbearable sorrow of various types from all sides.
Divine or demoniac wealth is the name for emotions or tendencies only. Demoniac tendencies are produced in such men who constantly think of perishable things of the world by mistakenly thinking them as permanent. \the main reason for divine or demoniac tendencies is our heart. Usually the man is swayed away by the demoniac tendencies of the heart and gets deeply trapped in them without intention.
Today's men look physically healthy, but they do not have anything except restlessness in their minds. The only reason is that bad thoughts are continuously hovering in their minds. Mental pollution is increasing so much that wicked and obscene thoughts arise while in sleep or when awake, while getting up or sitting down, day and night, constantly. There is only one solution for saving ourselves from this sorrowful situation and that is, to keep the mind continuously engaged in clean and pure thoughts. It should never be allowed to be idle. It is said that 'an idle mind is the devil's workshop', therefore we should never keep the mind idle. \by keeping the mind constantly engaged in works which are constructive and for the benefit of people, bad thoughts are not able to enter in ite.
It is extremely necessary to develop the habit to keep the mind busy in this way right from the childhood. \the impression of the thoughts during childhood remains permanent. Therefore, children must always be kept in such atmosphere whereby they constantly receive good thoughts. It is essential that they see only good thins, hear good things and read best books filed with good thoughts which increase knowledge. We should save ourselves and especially our children from the blows which the foreign media are making on our culture and make constant efforts to develop the wealth of divine tendencies.
'Be busy, be happy and be healthy'. However a man is busy in some work or the other, he is immersed in joy. With that his mental and physical health also improves and there is an increase in the strength of his soul also.
