Vidura Neethi – Sri Mahabharath – Chapter - 4 - 4

 

Chapter – 3 - The conversation between Vidura and King Dhritarashtra – 61 - 72

Vidura speaks “ Oh! Bharatharshabha, trees are grown in the cluster, depending on each other, so that they withstand even the strongest hurricane.  Oh! Rajan, the noble person who stands alone is considered as easy to attack and conquer, like the tree stands alone. If the noble people stand together none of the treacherous acts could harm them, therefore it is necessary to help and depend on each other like the lotus flowers are grown in the cluster,  it would help the noble people to face any challenging situation courageously.  Oh! Rajan, twice-born, cows, women, children, relatives, and the Master/person whose meal was consumed and a person who has taken shelter, should not be killed at any circumstances. Oh! Rajan, the important wealth is health, a person who lacks good health is considered dead alive, therefore live a healthy life. Oh! Rajan, Dhurjjana’s noticeable nature is anger, it is not infectious, it is too bitter, and harsh, it is the results of their sinful Karma, it is sharp like a sword, and it causes severe headache. Oh! Rajan, therefore keep yourself free from it. Oh! Rajan, people who are suffering from ailments do not enjoy life or material matters, in the same manner, a person who is depressed do not take pleasure in wealth or comfort. Oh! Rajan, I have already warned you at the time of the gambling taken place between Pandava and Kaurava. Your sons adopted all the evil means to win over Pandava and attained Devi Dhraupadhi, Pandavas were truthful as always, and they do not underrate the Dharma. Oh! Rajan, pleasantness with strength is the virtue and Dharma as well, pleasantness and villainy deeds will consider as Adharma. The wealth earned in immoral ways definitely meets destruction there is no doubt in it. The wealth earned by loyal means, strength, and skills would always pass on to children, grandchildren and several generations. Oh! Rajan, let your children protect the Pandava and vice versa. In my opinion, let the Pandavas and Kauravas live together, even though they are not in good terms, let them share the wealth and piousness of Dharmic deeds. Oh! Rajan, you are the shelter place for Pandavas and Kauravas, and the clan of Kuru’s depends on you. Pandavas has returned from the fourteen years of exile from the Kingdom of Hastinapura, have gone through several hardships, if you want to keep your Yashas/glories, protect them with kindness and affection. Oh! Rajan, make all efforts to unite Pandavas and Kauravas, do not let your enemies happy at your fall.  Oh! Rajan, I insist take good control of your son Duryodhana, and the Pandavas are truthful and noble.”

Vidura Neethi – Sri Mahabharath – Chapter -  4

 

Chapter – 3 - The conversation between Vidura and King Dhritarashtra – 41 -60

 

Vidura speaks “ Oh! Bharatharshabha, If you want to know the closeness, truthfulness, and sincerity of a companion, you should ask favor from them, no matter wealthy or not. Oh! Rajan, grief destroys the loveliness, strength, courage, and wisdom of a person; eventually, it would push the person to permanent ailments. Oh! Rajan, the grief hinders the fruitfulness of the task of the person, it would cause to wither the body, and the enemies would take pleasure in it, therefore do not allow the grief to overrule you. Oh! Rajan, human beings are repeatedly dying and born, all the creatures repeatedly meet their ruin and growth, human repeatedly beg for alms and receive alms, humans repeatedly undergo grief or grieving over others.  Oh! Rajan, therefore the intellectuals who have a thorough understanding of these natural phenomena and the person who has perfect control over sense would not react to grief or happiness, poverty or prosperity, gain or loss, death, or birth.  Oh! Rajan, Panchendhriyas are unstable and unpredictable as well, like the water filled in a pot with holes, they wedge with the material matters and people effortlessly.”

 

Dhritarashtra speaks “ Oh! Mahamathe, Oh! Vidura, I have mistreated Yudhishtira who resembles the colossal fire; therefore he will kill all my sons who are dull-minded in the great battlefield. I am foreseeing a huge damage to my clan; as a result it shoves me into intense grief. Oh! Intelligent one, kindly advises the words which could remove my perplexities.”

 

Vidura speaks “Oh! Sinless one, if you want to obtain peace concentrate on these following 1) learn scriptures and gain knowledge 2) conduct Tapasya/austerities and vows, 3) control over sense/get freed from material matters and bondage 4) abandon Lobha. Oh! Rajan, the supreme knowledge/knowledge of self would remove fears and anxieties, Tapasya would provide an abundance of piousness, serving the ascetics and Sages would provide Gnana/wisdom, and abandonment of interest in worldly matters and bondage would provide utmost serenity.  The Moksharththis won’t desire to attain piousness by performing charities, and various Vedic rituals and practices, they leave interest in worldly matters and bondage, keep themselves free from jealous, anger, ego, lust, pride etc. Oh! Rajan, the well-performed Adhyayanam/practice of learning scriptures and sacred texts, profound knowledge in the usage of armaments, the Punyakarma performed without any personal motive, and Tapasya would always bring fruitful results.  Oh! Rajan, people who constantly engage in conflicts or arguments won’t get sleep, even if they sleep on the most luxurious mattress. They do not take pleasure in a passionate relationship with women or Sthuthipadaka/the people who praise the qualities. The people who engage in fights with families and relatives could not follow Dharma, they cannot achieve peace or serenity, or earn respect in the family or society. The people who engage in the fight with the relatives do not accept fruitful advice; therefore it is definite that they cannot attain peace or welfare, eventually meets destruction. Oh! Rajan, Yoga is the practice to achieve something which is not innate in you, and the Kshema is protecting something which is in possession. Oh! Rajan, these are definite that the cow provides milk, Bhramin engages in Tapasya/austerities and vow, Sthree is the means for the physical and mental pleasure, and relatives are means for threat and fear. Oh! Rajan, a strong rope is created with the combined usage of delicate thread, in this way; the togetherness of virtuous relatives would provide immense courage and strength to face the hardships. Oh! Bharatharshabha, if the fire log put alone would cause smoke, if it was placed together with the number of logs, it would produce huge flames, in this way, the togetherness of virtuous relative’s works during the hours of crisis. Oh! Dhritarashtra, listen to me carefully, the person who shows arrogance and mischievousness to women, twice-born/Bhramin, relatives, and cows would meet immediate destruction, like the ripened fruit fall down from the hook of the tree.  Oh! Rajan, the tree which stands alone, even though it’s huge and strongly rooted, would face its destruction in a powerful whirlwind.”

Vidura Neethi – Sri Mahabharath – Chapter -  4 -2

 

Chapter – 2 - The conversation between Vidura and King Dhritarashtra –21 - 40

 

Vidura speaks “Oh! Bharatharshabha, the Dhurjjanas/wicked people may earn wealth by immoral ways, by threatening someone or utilizing physical strength, or with crookedness, finally, these Dhurjjanas do not earn respect or admiration or virtues of Sajjanas/Mahathma.”

 

Dhritarashtra speaks “Oh! Vidura, the following categories of people are beloved of deities, 1) the people who sincerely follow Sadhachara/disciplines, spiritual and religious rites according to their Varnnashrama,  2) people who have deep knowledge in scriptures and Vedic texts, and 3) people  born in the illustrious clan and sincerely follow the customary rites etc. Oh! Vidura, kindly explain what is Mahakula?”

 

Vidura speaks “Oh! Rajan, the Mahakula are 1) Tapas 2) perfect control over sense 3) knowledge in Vedic texts and scriptures 4) performance of Yajja 5) strict observance of the marital relationship 6) performance of an abundance of charities in the form of meals to the hungry and 7) humility. Oh! Rajan, the people of Mahakula are 1) Truthful 2) sincerely follow customary rites 3) strictly follows Dharma 4) do not grieve over the wickedness of Vamshaja/people of their own clan 5) strictly follow Sadhguna 6) always strive for the welfare and respect of their clan. Oh! Rajan, the   destruction of the clan is definite if there are 1) lack of performance of Yajja and customary rites 2) marriage from the different Varnnas/Varnnasangara 3) discarding the Vedic rites and disrespect Veda 4) non-believer of Dharma. Oh! Rajan, the destruction of the clan is definite if there is 1) no performance of Yajja or fire sacrifices, in this way creating a pause to the oblations owed to the deities 2) stealing the wealth of Bhramin 3) disrespecting/disgracing the Bhramin. Oh! Bharatha, disrespecting Bhramin and stealing their wealth, or misuse of the wealth entrusted by a Bhramin are considered as grave sin which could bring Bhramahathya Dhosham. It would destroy the entire clan of a person. Oh! Rajan, even if the families have an abundance of wealth, the number of male progeny, and possessions of cows, if they do not follow the Sadhachara, it won’t be considered as ‘Kula’. In other words, the families who strictly follow the Dharma and Arththa, disciplines, religious and spiritual rites, even though they have very little wealth, would be considered as an illustrious and highly respected clan. Oh! Bharatharshabha, these types of people could bring immediate damages to the clan 1) Person who engages in the constant conflicts or arguments, 2) The person who steals the wealth of King or ministers, or common people, 3) Mithradhrohi/treacherous companion, 4) deceitful person  5) untruthful 6) person who consume meals without offering  to Pithrus, deities and guests 7) the person who has committed Bhramahathya sin 8) person who is disrespectful to Bhramin and Veda 9) person who makes friends with the people who destroy agriculture and natural wealth.  Oh! Rajan, the house of Sajjanas will not have the absence of these three things 1) pleasant words 2) decent place to be seated 3) and water to wash the face and leg of the guests. Oh! Mahaprajja, the righteous and noble souls who sincerely follow the religious and spiritual rites, receive their guests with great respect and care, therefore their house will have the presence of these above- said virtues always. Oh! Rajan, the trees of Syanandhana has not a great stature or sturdy, but it has the capabilities to hold more weight better than any other trees, in this manner, the people of Mahakula, will have excellent capabilities to perform duties and responsibilities. Oh! Rajan, a person who earns respect with his/her villainy nature, or get served after creating fear in others, or the person who threatens people and make things easier and favorable won’t earn respect in the society, these kinds of people cannot be a good companion.  The person who is trustworthy, compassionate, kind, and gentle-natured is considered as a good companion. Oh! Rajan, if a person has no blood relation, but works sincerely for you, is deserved to be considered as your Bandhu, an excellent companion, protector, and shelter. Oh! Rajan, the companion with the person who is unstable, not compassionate to the elderly people, people who have no patience or least trustworthy should not be considered as a companion. Oh! Rajan, The victory is impossible for a person who is unstable, unpredictable, and incapable to take firm decision, has no self-control, drenched in worldly matters and chases after pleasures, would face the fate of the dried pond which was discarded by the swan. Oh! Rajan, the person who gets easily annoyed and angry, and the person who gets easily pleased with others are like the clouds, it would scatter away easily, and it is the nature of Dhurjjana. Oh! Rajan, people who receive trust and favors from others, and behave selfishly towards them would be considered as untouchables; even the vultures won’t eat the meat of these selfish people after their death.”

Vidura Neethi – Sri Mahabharath – Chapter -  4 -1

 

Chapter – 1 - The conversation between Vidura and King Dhritarashtra –1 -20

 

Vidura speaks “Oh! Bharatharshabha, I shall narrate a conversation that took place between Maharishi Athreya and Mahatmas/Sadhakas.  Once, Maharishi Athreya who is Mahaprajja undergoes strict austerities and penances was disguised in the form of a swan had a conversation with the Sadhakas in the woods.”

 

Sadhakas/there are six types of Sadhakas, they are Kutichaka, Bahudhaka, Hamsa, Parahamsa, Turyatheetha, and Avadhootha.  Sadhaka spoke “Oh! Maharishi, we are Sadhakas, we are not able to understand your divinity, or we are not able to recognize you.  One thing for definite, you are a prominent one in Shastras, Puranas, and Ithihasa, you are highly valorous, and intelligent as well. Oh! Maharishi, kindly, enlighten us with the knowledge of Bhramam, with your graceful lecture, and kindly bless us.”

 

Hamsa spoke “ Oh! Sadhakas, Oh! Deities, listen to me.  The one who sincerely follows the 1) Shanthi/serenity 2) Dhamam/endurance 3) Shamam/control of sense 4) Sathyam /truthfulness 5) Dharmam/strict observance of righteousness would get rid of the darkness of ignorance, remains free from likes and dislikes, and attains union with the supreme soul/Bhramam. Oh! Sadhaka, never indulge in physical or verbal abuse with others, some people find pleasure in it, and the person who silently tolerates it with the silent cries is enough to burn the other person who committed such mistakes, moreover it would take away all his piousness another person. Therefore, never find fault in others or disgrace others, do not take refuge in the person who cheated his companion, and people who are morally wrong. Oh! Sadhaka never acts unkind and avoid speeches of hatred and anger. The unkind words would burn the intellect, bones, heart, and Prana as well; hence the Sajjanas won’t entertain unkind, cruel, harsh words.  The wicked person uses words of hatred and anger, which has the sharpness of a thorn to break the intellect, and capable to pierce the heart.  These kinds of people hold death on their tongue, he/she is most inauspicious on the Earth.  The intelligent people should not react to the speeches of hatred and harsh words which has the sharpness of arrows, scorching as sun and Agni, of the wicked people.  The intelligent people keep silent with the knowledge that the piousness of the other person who is pouring harsh words would be lost was received by the latter. Oh! Sadhaka, the person achieves the nature of the people with whom they are living, be it Dhurjjana, or Sajjana, or Thapasvi, or Sadhaka, or thief, it works like the cloth absorbs the color of the clothes in touch. Oh! Sadhaka, the deities desires for the company of the Jeeva who do not react to the violence, the person who evade from the verbal or physical abuses and silently put up with it, the person who does not indulge in criticizing others, and the person who does not interested in settling scores with others. Oh! Sadhaka, the silence is greater than the words; it is considered as the superior quality as well.  The important quality of the usage of words is ‘Truthfulness’, and the third quality is ‘talk pleasantly’ and speak Dharma is the fourth quality of words. Oh! Sadhaka, the perfect method is whenever asked to opinionate, should not keep quiet, everyone has the right to express their own individual view, it should be truthful, pleasing to others, and should not be against the Dharma.  Oh! Sadhaka, the person who desires to copy the style of others, chooses to live with them and exchanges ideas them, eventually they would become a true copy of them.  Oh! Sadhaka, the person who strives hard to get out of the ill habits would get freed from it, in this manner the person who strives hard to get freed from worldly matters and bondage would achieve complete freedom from the miseries and sorrows of the worldly existence. These types of people never get discouraged or disappointed, they do not search for the opportunities to compete with others or conquer others, they do not hurt others, and they do not oppose others.  These types of people consider grace and disgrace, sorrow and happiness, as the same.  Oh! Sadhaka, the superior Jeeva/Uththama, works and thinks for the welfare of all, they are truthful and kind; they will have complete control over sense. Oh! Sadhaka, the Jeeva/Madhyama, won’t depend on sweet lies to please others, they sincerely follow promises, and thoroughly aware of the comfort and discomfort of others are Madhyama. Oh! Sadhaka, the Jeeva/Adhama takes extreme pleasure in the physical and verbal abuses, uncontrollable, swollen with pride and anger, ungrateful, not worth to have companionship, crooked, and wicked should be avoided. Oh! Sadhaka, the person who believes that there will not be any benefit from others, self -doubtful person, and keep themselves away from the companion are Adhama.  Oh! Sadhaka, the Uththama Jeeva who yearn to achieve Shreyas in their lives, remain always be in the association of Sadhus, and ascetics, sometimes need to be in the company of people of Madhyama nature, but never be in the association of  the people of Adhama nature.”
