Meaning: According to the line of Rigved 7/56/12 — everything of ours, both inner and outer, be pure. We help others by the pure wealth earned religiously. Bribe, gambling, wickedness and wealth snatched from others destroys home as well as the nation.
Message: Religion is the basis of this world. It is the art of life. The meaningfulness of this body lies only in conduct in accordance with religion. Only the religion becomes helpful to man even in the worst circumstances. The burden of the entire world is only on the shoulders of religion. If religious conduct ends, then everyone will worry day and night about saving his or her own life and crushing others. Then only looting, beating, anarchy, corruption and tyranny will prevail and happiness and peace will be destroyed. The scenario today is of the above type and only such events are happening all around. The reason for this is that for their selfish ends, people have forgotten religion. The blindfold of materialism, attachment, and greed is tied tightly on their eyes and they are not able to see that they are in reality, busy in uprooting each other and producing a hell like situation for all.
The importance and firmness of religion can be gauged by the fact that even the wicked persons spread their nets in the name of religion to snare and cheat people. Some bad elements also infiltrate wherever excellence prevails. People give tremendous importance to religion and only because of that they are ready for every type of self denial and sacrifice. In such a situation, selfishness also sneaks in and tries to strike roots. Many charlatans create a facade of being 'dharma gurus' (religious teacher) by wearing yellow or red-colored robes, apply the religious marks on their foreheads and exploit the religious sentiments of the people. Nobody knows the number of 'religious institutions' spreading like mushrooms everywhere. In their premises evil conduct is indulged in with immorality collected money. How can the normal, God fearing person afford to give up religion which even the wicked persons takes as their support for their nefarious activities. The edifice of man's life must be contracted on the firm foundation of religion only
Religious donations, rituals etc are merely the means in religion. Real religion lies only in carrying out one's duty, service to others, obliging others, truthfulness and restraint. One who gives the prime importance to this philosophy in his thinking and conduct is the real religious soul, otherwise it is mere facade. Life can be called successful only when religion has mingled in every drop of our blood. Whatever we see, think and do should be in accordance with religion only. Let our inclination not be corrupted if we see that someone is perhaps benefiting with religious conduct. The condition of the person, who takes advantage with immoral conduct, ultimately becomes like the fish which has swallowed the hook with the bait. No intelligent and farsighted man can afford to be foolish and follow the above conduct.
We have the intelligence to differentiate between religion and non-religion and decide about the same. Even people with less intelligence or uneducated persons have been graced with this ability. It should be used impartially and without fear. Real religion for man lies in implementing in one's conduct useful customs and methods after differentiating them with one's discretion.
