MN DUTT: 08-042-009 अथामोधप्रयत्नेन मनो ज्ञाने निवेशयत् MN DUTT: 08-042-010 विवक्षता च सद्वाक्यं धर्मं सूक्ष्ममवेक्षता |
M. N. Dutt: One should never think of committing evil to others, One should not covet what is far above his power to acquire. One should not fix his thoughts on objects which are not real. One should, on the other hand, direct mind towards knowledge by continued exertions. With the help of the injunctions of the Shrutis and of continued efforts calculated to bring success, Knowledge is sure to originate. One who is desirous of saying good words or observing a religion which is purged off of all impurities, should speak only truth which is not fraught with any malice or censure. One who has got a sound heart should speak words which are not fraught with dishonesty, which are not harsh, which are not cruel, which are not evil, and which are not characterised by garrulity. The universe is bound in words. If a person disposed to renunciation he should proclaim, with a humble mind and a cleansed understanding, his own evil deeds. He who performs action, urged there to by propensities pervaded by the quality of Darkness, suffers much misery in this world and at last sinks into hell. One should, therefore, practise selfcontrol in body, words and mind. |
