Practice for Good Moral

Meaning: The line of Rigved 10/71/5 gives us the instruction to do practice for good moral character. According to the mantra -"Those who do not practice moral conduct, they do not get benefit despite being educated, just as a cow produced by a magician does not give milk."

Message: How surprising it is that it does not occur to us to take advantage of the invaluable opportunity of human life and we waste it away just like that in childish games. Not only that, but we utilize the human life in various wicked activities and take way with us the heavy burden of mountains of sins and hellish tortures for our next birth. On the contrary, the animals are better, who leave just as they came into this world. Is this the only intelligence of man? Is man incapable of using proper direction after obtaining so much knowledge, wisdom and education?

We may boast of ourselves as knowledgeable, cleaver and shrewd by knowing the ways of success in the material world, but it is not the less important that we understand the fundamental aim of life and seriously think about it. We should also think 'Who Am I'? And how do I achieve meaningfulness of my existence? If man does not develop this knowledge, then he will be forced to live a contemptible life similar to an animal.

Every man with discretion must think on his current situation. They are not willing to replace wicked conduct with good conduct and they expect God to fulfill their desires. They are doing ritual worship, sing humans etc with desires. They think that praising God, prostrating before him, by imploring or by making offerings, they can get their work done through Him. The real meaning of worship is that God's qualities be firmly impressed on our memory, and to create maximum cleanliness, discretion and purity in our minds.

Depending on his situation, every man can contribute in some way to raising the level of sentiments of the world's humanity. The extent to which we can devote our time, labor, intelligence, money etc for this purpose, to that extent we have ventured for fulfilling God's wish. For that we should include the maximum purity, generosity and excellent ideals in our thinking, attitudes, qualities, deeds, nature and activities. Simultaneously we should be dedicated to surrender with enthusiasm and feelings our insight and capacity for people's welfare.
