Right
Conduct (Dharma) is the feet and Realization
(Moksha) is the head of every human being. Wealth
and Desire (Artha and Kama) are the trunk
and the limbs. The tragedy in the present times is that the
Head and Feet are ignored while trunk and limbs are reckoned
as vital. Enough warning about the tragedy this approach
can lead to has been given in the ancient texts.
Sanathana Dharma has laid down the rules and
regulations for the best possible utilisation of life, but
for want of teaching, exposition and example, they have been
sadly neglected. The neglect of these rules which give real
happiness and peace, is like inflicting injuries on
oneself. The land may be rich, but, if life is mean, it is
deplorable. It does not matter if the standard of life is
poor, provided the way of life is pure, full of love and
humility, and is led with fear-of-sin and reverence towards
elders.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
