Meaning: As explained in the Athervaved 4/3/4 — It is our duty to destroy evil and violent animals, and thieves and wicked men. We must always find solutions to disease and bad tendencies.
Message: In the human body, along with 'jeevatem' (i.e. the soul) Parmatma (i.e. God, the Supreme Soul) too resides Jeevatma performs the deeds and gets the Karmaphal (i.e. the fruits of his deeds) as either reward or punishment. God, as witness, goes on observing all the deeds of man. By doing good deeds man achieves inner peace and joy by doing bad deeds man feels hatred and dejection within himself.
Man gets trapped into sinful acts because of many reasons. He also engages in sinful acts as aw result of punishment for bad deeds in previous births. Drinking liquor is the root cause of ad tendencies and sins. An intoxicated man does not think of what is proper and what is improper and will carry out any meant act. Due to anger also, man's intelligence gets distorted and then man will do anything because of the absence of kartavyagyan (i.e. the knowledge of what should be done). Knowingly or unknowingly man goes on committing many sinful acts trapped in innumerable bad deeds and bad conduct.
Sinful life starts with the company of bad people. In the company of bad persons a man's intelligence gets corrupted. He starts considering his well wishers as enemies and people on the wrong, immoral path as his friends. As a result he becomes distanced from good, learned, religious and truthful men. His relationship with divine qualities starts getting served. Getting much more trapped in bad company, he becomes helpless and forced to lead a life of inferior quality. The bad thinking, bad habits or bad culture makes hollow the roots of humanness. He feels helpless form this sinful path. Nobody is able to save th4e sinners trapped in the chasm of darkness. Man himself gets trapped in bad tendencies, he finds sweet the indulgence of desires and, trapped in this mire, he invites his own destruction.
As witness, God the Supreme keeps an account of man's good and bad deeds, and then on the basis of justice according to the deed he gives either the good reward or the bad punishment. One does get teh good or bad results of one's deeds and nobody can save himself from them. 'Avashyameva bhoktavya, krutum karma shubhashubham' — i.e. one has to receive the fruit of one's actions, whether good or bad. These fruits in the form of reward or punishment may be given in this birth or in the next birth, today or tomorrow. According to divine justice, there may be delay in that but without doubt there is justice in it, and hence there is no partiality. On the one hand, God is the giver of life, he is the paalak i.e. the protector and poshuk (one who nurtures), simultaneously, He is the destroyer of sinners and men of evil conduct. He always uplifts good men, men who do good deeds and truthful men. He shows the appropriate (good) path to the faithful devoted and believers and fulfills their wishes and helps them teach the ultimate objective.
By going against this just and divine tenet of God and helping and cooperating with men of wicked, evil conduct is in itself a grave sin. We must indeed make an effort to bring them on the path of moral goodness, but simultaneously scold and censure them also. Just as it is our duty to protect the society from the violent and ferocious animals like lions, snakes, wolves etc, similarly it is also our responsibility to establish peace and happiness in the society by destroying wicked and evil men.
It is our duty to destroy these enemies of the society.
