Dharmatma Remain Quite

Meaning: In this world dharmatma remain quite. Those who do not harass anyone, they attain happiness by becoming free from fear, by becoming yogis, enlightened, in control of their senses and free from mental agitations. But sinful men, because of their harshness, by putting fear into others, becomes filled with fear, and becomes sorrowful and dejected by foolishly becoming slaves or their senses, and therefore go on wandering into innumerable species of life.

Message: All of us know that bliss is possible only by leading a pure life with truthful conduct. We are also able to hear this emotional advice of our conscience and also understand it, but this voice is drowned in the attractive glamour and clamor of the material world. Those who make constant efforts to listen to this voice, get a momentary glimpse of this inner truth. This happens only when - even for a few moments - the loud noise of the external world is subdued and we do not allow the attraction of the outer world to prevail over us. During such moments we experience that the abundant wealth of the soul is waiting for us and without any reason we are collecting false, deceptive coins (i.e. sins) by wandering without reason in the jungle of bad thoughts, bad culture and temptations. But the irony is that these deceptive coins of the external, material world create so much attachment in man, that he does not even make an attempt to look towards his soul.

Those men who are sober, possess discretion and decide on what is proper and improper, they think "enough of all this material attraction and wandering in the dark. Now let me be serious and obtain that spiritual wealth which is within me (Pt. Sriram Sharma Acharya)." Only with this attitude does man achieve immorality, permanent peace and happiness. That is why when man becomes serious in this thinking and attitude, and then by trying to detach himself from the attractions of the external world, he becomes busy in introspection and self-analysis. He understands that only with the help of discretion one can achieve success in understanding one's real form. Only as a result of discretion we get the knowledge of the ultimate truth. "I (the soul) am Godlike and only the soul is permanent."

We find that in this world most people have a violent nature and threaten and terrorize others. They themselves roam in the darkness of ignorance. Highly unstable, impatient, slaves of their senses, suffering from the punishment for their deeds, they suffer various hardships. But those whose discretionary thinking is aroused, their thinking also becomes pure, conduct becomes restrained and within limits too. Taking interest in religion, they peacefully remain busy in works of public-welfare. They have the knowledge of what is truth and what is untruth; they are patient, sober, in control of their senses, possess good conduct and continuously enjoy heavenly bliss.

Eradication of wicked mental tendencies is possible only by introspection of observation of the self and we must make all the efforts to pull them out by roots and throw them away.
