Vidura Neethi – Sri Mahabharath - Chapter
2
Chapter – 8 - The conversation between
Vidura and King Dhritarashtra 21 – 43
Oh! Bharatharshabha, the person who is
soaked in the material matters and bondage, and the person who has no control
over sense would become penniless in no time. Oh! Rajan, the intelligent person
will have the knowledge of the ultimate truth of the supreme soul/Paramathma,
will have perfect control over sense, and understands the eternal truth that he
is the enemy and companion to himself. Oh! Rajan, the big fishes caught under
the net would make all efforts to break it and get freed, like the Kama and
Krodha like the big fishes break all the boundaries, and causes constant afflictions to the Jeeva. The noble who has profound
knowledge of Dharma and Artha would strive to achieve them and live a happy and
serene life. The Jeeva who has no control over his own impurities like lust,
desire, anger, ego, and pride, etc. cannot achieve success over enemies. Oh!
Rajan, the wicked Kings who are swollen in impurities performs all immoral deeds
would get killed due to their greed for the Kingdom and stately luxuries. Oh!
Rajan, never make an association with the sinners, it works like the wet wooden
pieces added to the dried woods, it would burn both. Oh! Rajan, the Jeeva who
has no control over the Panchendhriya would take interest in worldly matters
and bondage; eventually heave themselves into deep distress and sorrow. Oh!
Rajan, a wicked person lack the qualities of Anasooya/free from jealousy,
Arjjavam/sincerity, Shuchithva/purities, Santhosham/happiness, Priyabhashnam/pleasant
way of talking, Athmaniyanthranam/self-control, and truthfulness, hence they meet destruction effortlessly. Oh!
Rajan, wicked people lack the qualities of Athmajjyanam/knowledge of self,
stability, endurance, Dharmanishta, ability to handle confidential matters,
Dhanasheela. Oh! Rajan, the dull-minded criticizes and blames the virtues of the
noble people, in this way the ignorant become the sinner, and the noble people
who have handled the wicked people with patience would become free from the
sin. Oh! Rajan, the prime qualities of a Sthree/woman is serving attitude, a
wicked outshines with the treacherous /cruel and merciless deeds, a King
outshines with the capacity to impose appropriate punishment on sinners, and the
noble souls excels with the quality of endurance and benevolence. Oh! Rajan, it
is difficult to get control over ‘words’ and it is extremely difficult to talk
meaningful and pleasing. Oh! Rajan, the meaningful talks brings an abundance of
fruitfulness, and the harsh and unworthy talks bring conflicts and arguments.
Oh! Rajan, the wood destroyed with the axe or other weapons or arrow would grow
again, but the cruel words that pierced the hearts would never get healed. Oh!
Rajan, it is easy to remove the arrows pierced in the body, but the words that
caused the wound in the heart would never heal. Oh! Rajan, an intelligent won’t
use these arrows like sharp and harsh words on others which cause to bleed the
heart of the other person day and night. Oh! Rajan, the intellect of the Jeeva
gets weakened when the deity’s wishes to thrash the pride in the Jeeva, eventually, it would bring complete destruction to the Jeeva, the intellect gets
disturbed causes to bring afflictions, ultimately the Jeeva fails to understand the differentiation between evil and good. Oh! Bharatha, your sons’ intellect has
become manipulative due to their hatred towards the Pandava, you have not
understood the fact yet. Oh! Dhritarashtra, listen to me carefully,
Yudhishtira possesses all the virtues to become a righteous ruler of the three
worlds, therefore, crowns him as the King of Hastinapura. Oh! Dhritarashtra,
Yudhistira is the heir to the throne, he is brilliant, intelligent, sincerely
follow Dharma and Arththa, he has endless virtues like benevolence, kindness,
qualities of non-violence, he is the essence of Dharma, he has lots of respect
for you, that was the reason he was patiently handling all the afflictions
imposed by your sons.”
