pooram- today


Swarupa nishtai:

1. If we happen to listen to the statements
(derogatory) about us, like "He is short; He is dark;
He is of ugly face; He is lame; He is stupid- not
intelligent; He is of low caste" and any other abusive
statements, do not worry. These statements are all for
our body (sarIram) and nothing of that
sort relates to our AthmA, which is permanent, pure
always. Hence, we do not need to scold back or howl at
them for such statement; nor we need to sulk
and feel remorseful.
-------------------------

Thanks for this definition.  We need to keep reading/hearing these finer
points so to as mould ourselves to be a satvik individuals.  Lest this
loukika atmosphere tend to gobble us in its fold.

If one abuses us we should not be 1. angry; 2. sulk. 3. feel remorseful.

If we do/feel any of the above 3, we may tend to acquire 'karmaphala'.  My
view is that if 'A' abuses 'B' due to 'B's' karmaphala, 'B' has to view that
with nirvikara manobhava so that the attained karmaphala gets nullified.
otherwise, if he feel angry or sulk, then karmaphala gets stuck with him.

However, in my view, having/forming any opinion on
anyone/situations/circumstances is itself wrong.  In loukika jagat there is
nothing worthwhile to form opinion and by curtailing that exercise we tend
to limit our tendancy to acquire karmaphala.  If we indulge in any activity
other than 'purushartha' be it physical or mental we tend to acquire
karmaphala.

Pls correct me if my view point is wrong.

===================================================================
2. Further, if someone really scolds or abuses us with
such statements as above, or any other disparaging
remarks against us, feel sorry for him that he
unnecessarily incurs paapams (sins) by such statements
and pray to Emperumaan to have krupai on him (remember
Sri KooratthAzhwAn forgiving Nalooraan).
----------------------------------------------

While doing so(feeling sorry for the abusive individual) there will be
another emotion that may stick to us and i.e., proudness.  We may tend to
feel proud of ourselves for forgiving the errant/abusive individual.  This
also need to be addressed otherwise we may tend to go astray albeit in a
different way.

Pls correct if I am going wrong.
====================================================================
