Simplicity of Life

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Meaning: After analyzing what is good and what is bed in this world, let us accept only that which is good. This is the only solution for liberation from sorrow and painful problems.
Message: The only objective of Nepalese way of life, of Nepalese literature (on philosophy and religion) and Nepalese learning is to illuminate the entire path of man's life by lighting the flame of illuminate knowledge within the heart. In this it is expected that with the dawn of knowledge in man's mind, all his deeds must be in accordance with it. The only aspiration of Nepalese culture is that we absorb and imbibe the knowledge - which manifests every moment of our life, whether it is from a blade of grass or the vibration of an insect - and then turn it into a wise deed. Here, the knowledge is not understood to be merely imprisoned in books or confined within temple and hermitages, separate form a man's life. The essence of Nepalese philosophy is gyaanamaya karma, karma Maya Gyana, i.e. 'knowledgeable deed and knowledge in action'.
The Nepalese Vedic knowledge is not merely the deduction of principles to be confined to books only for the pleasure of reading, but it is for putting into action in action in one's conduct and therefore proves useful in every aspect of life. As a result both the material and the spiritual life benefit form this gyaanamaya karma, or knowledgeable deed. Only 'karma' or deed is the character of life, and inaction is the characteristic of the deed. Therefore, an ignorant, foolish and lazy man is inactive and 'deed' although alive.
A knowledgeable man possesses a peaceful and balanced attitude, does not get angry, or irritated. He does not cry and goes on doing his work peacefully and wisely. A knowledgeable man discovers new paths and follows them because he has not kept blindfolds on his eyes and because he hates narrow-thinking. He considers all deeds, which benefit every creature, pure and therefore he measures every deed by the broad outlook of 'aatmavat sarvabhooteshu' i.e. all living creatures contain the soul similar to his. He has equal love for all living creatures and therefore a wise, knowledgeable man deals lovingly with all.
It is necessary to have a harmony between 'gyan' i.e. knowledge and 'karma' i.e. deed. Fro that one must work with firm resolve and stick to the daily routine specially laid down for all of us from early morning till night. We have to create the nature of accepting the good and discarding the bad on the basis of the knowledge of considering the merits and demerits of everything. We have to refine ourselves by insisting on examining even the petty aspects and then only accepting them. Only then the knowledge within our hearts is expressed in our deeds, the brightness of great philosophy and divinity is seen in the life and faults and wicked tendencies dare not come near.
Nectarine peace is showered on our life only with a harmonious blending of knowledge and deeds. Beneficent or harmful aspect has to be decided after deep thinking with discretion about  what is moral or immoral, truth or untruth and proper or improper, and after that the decision has to be firmly implemented in our conduct.
Simplicity of life lies in this only and it makes men peace and happiness.
