THE VEDANTIC ETHIC |
|
|
| If we live
detached and dedicated lives as Vedanta lays down, the world will be peopled by better men
as time goes on. It is after all a comparatively selfish pleasure that would come of a
memory of personality in re-birth, A soldier in the army does not wish to know the names
and particulars of the people who will benefit by his bravery and death. The Vedantin is
citizen of the world and a soldier in the world’s army in totally non-martial but no
less heroic war against evil, the more heroic since he seeks no personal reward. There are forces in our nature that pull us down; we have soul force
to help us to pull ourselves up. Let us pull ourselves up, overcoming the urges that pull
us down. The Krishna avataar is the greatest of the incarnations of the Supreme Being
narrated in the Hindu puranas. In Sri Krishna the, Supreme Being appears as Teacher for
all mankind. The core of the teaching is detachment in all work and this is put in
unmistakable words in the Bhagavad Oita. All the service which society and humanity in
general need is equal in value and everyone should find out what he or she can do, and do
it as taught by Sri Krishna. |
