Meaning: All the knowledge and wisdom teach us by our Vedas. Among them the technique of success life teaches us by the stanza of the Sam-Veda 1302 that -"The success of human -life lies only in removing the spirit's (soul's) and mind's faults and wicked tendencies and becoming cleansed and pure. Thousands of solutions have been described in the Vedas for freeing the soul from blemish and for freeing it from the shell of selfishness. Therefore, the Vedas are worth reading and worth pondering".
Message: This life as a human being has been achieved by us as a result of innumerable virtuous deeds. Man can get eternal joy only by using it for good deeds. There are innumerable types of moral injunctions in the Vedas and their essence is that man should always progress in life and should never have a downfall. It is the duty of every man to give up all types of vices and wicked tendencies. To achieve freedom from the demons of selfishness, greed, attachment, arrogance etcetera which grip the soul, strong will-power is required. The soul and mind can become cleansed and pure only by freedom from them.
The maximum emphasis has been laid on the strength of will-power in the Veda-mantras. Man can fulfill all his desires only by performing austerity, spiritual-endeavor, and hard labor and with mental firmness. Ambition gives an idea about a man's power or ability, but along with that the spirit of selflessness and sacrifice is necessary. Only after these types of wishes are fulfilled by austerities and spiritual-endeavor, can a man make his life successful by helping others. The measure of success of a man's life can be determined only on the basis of how far his will-power has developed. Even the greatest powers of Nature can be defeated by man's will-power. The impression of man's will-power can be seen in the development of culture, in all human activities and all material success.
Man's will-power is produced from his character which is produced as a result of his deeds. That will-power is of the type of his deeds. All of us know that it is very beneficial to lead a moral life. Even then we somehow commit a sin and then we have to bear its painful result. There is no way of getting rid of the results of one's deeds. The difficulties seen in our daily life are not only because of some basic vice or wickedness, but the hardship caused by them is troubling us because we are neglecting the good resolve to free ourselves from them. A man, who can conquer his wrong type of thinking, will without doubt become the master of tremendous will-power.
A misguided man can become strong only when he thoroughly understands that he is the soul and not the body. One who understands that God resides in his soul, then through that understanding it, tremendous energy is produce d within him. Through this power only, he develops the capacity to reject and throw out the mental faults and vices. Satvik thought (qualities of a sattogun or satvik qualities) and divine thinking is produced only after freeing oneself from vices and immoral activities. And with that, enthusiasm is produced within man for resisting vices and immoralities.
One must remember the Vedic admonitions which are summed up as, "Uproot the vices and throw them out, increases and nature good qualities".
