VIRTUOUS VICE

Every one knows that this is nature’s circle that after summer there is rainy season and after it there is winter. We also know that all these three seasons are very necessary for all living beings on the earth. Yet when the heat is extreme in summer, there are some deaths of living beings. Again in rainy season , when there is extreme rain, the flood can carries away whole town. In winter also when there is extreme cold, there is loss of life of some living beings.  In short, I want to say that even though all three seasons are initially necessary, their execiveness spoil their virtues. Similarly, in human being also if any virtue is extreme, it becomes vice. We can call it a virtuous vice.
         Infact, saving money is a virtue. Saving a penny is gaining money. But in our surroundings, we see some persons with exessive quantity of this virtue. I have seen a much rich person who had declined to change the tube of gas, even suggested by authorised person, only to save money. Such persons never help or donate anyone if they are not getting any benifit in return. Even such persons being economically sound, stinct in the medical treatment of their family members. Such persons, from morning to night, are thinking about only to save money. Here I am not speaking about the persons who are really poor and to behave so miserly is their helplessness.
        A virtuous person believes in goodness of other persons. But exessively believing on every person is a vice. Many persons, even his close friends and relatives also easily deceive such person. Whether it is good? In our surroundings we can see so many examples of such excessive virtues of all types. So in short,a virtue is virtue till it is used in proper proportion. It’s excessive use changes it in vice.

ON JANMASHTAMI

  It is believed that God always behaves ideal. So almost our all myths when tell us about God’s incarnation as a human being, they draw His character as ideal in His childhood and in young age also. Only,God Krishna is shown as behaving according to the age like a human being. From His childhood and in His throughout whole life, there is a mischievousness, which is very much liked by all human beings. Perhaps so, everyone feels more attachment for Krishna. Because, even in old age also even an ideal and disciplined human being likes mischievousness, though he himself could never behave so. In childhood, Krishna played fully with his friends, even stole curd and butter from milkmaid's houses with friends. At the same time, being God, he killed many monsters also. In young age, He played “Rasleela”with the milkmaid's. When He helped Arjuna to marry with His sister Subhadra, very mischievously he deceived Balaram. It means God Krishna is the best combination of God and human be...

Colours of the days

Yesterday,I met our family friend -a retired person- and as formality, I asked him that how he was, he started to complain about his retired life. His main complaint was that for him now every day was similar to another,no change, no zest. Even on festival also except for some time, the remaining day was very dull for him. While speaking, he referred that after retirement, his all days are of grey colour,and yes, I also agreed with him on the point that days also have colours and various shades.                       Even though grammatically,a day is a concept and so it has no colour, no shape,no size. Again logically, day after day comes and it makes a week, month,a year and our life goes on. So a day doesn't differ from other days. Yet practically we have experience that if on a day, the climate is cloudy for the whole day, everyone feels dull, and as grey colour is symbol o...

Awful loneliness

- Few days ago, I saw a news on t.v.about Asha Sahani. She was living at Lokhandwala in Mumbai alone. Her son Rituraj  is working in America in IT field. It means economically it is very sound family. For one and half year, the son didn't contact her. After this one and half year, when he returned to his mother's home, he found his mother's skeleton, lying on bed in her bedroom. No one knows when she died. What a shocking news! Death in such loneliness! Very horrible! For so many days no one in this world noticed her death!                                                                             ...
