పని చేయడంలో పరమార్థం



 

మనిషిలోని కోరికలను ఎంత తగ్గిస్తే అంత వారికి సహాయం చేసినట్లవుతుంది. ఆధ్యాత్మిక జ్ఞానమే మన బాధలకు అడ్డుకట్ట వేయగలదు. మిగిలిన జ్ఞానం మన కోరికలు తీర్చేందుకే. కనుక ఆధ్యాత్మిక జ్ఞానం అందివ్వడమే పరమోత్కృష్ట సహాయమవుతుంది. బుద్ధిపరమైన జ్ఞానమివ్వడం తరువాతది. అజ్ఞానం మృత్యువు. జ్ఞానమే జీవితం. తరువాత వచ్చేది భౌతికంగా ఇతరులకు సేవ చేయడం. ఇది ఆఖరులో ఇచ్చేది. ఎందువలనంటే ఇందులో శాశ్వత తృప్తి లేదు. 'ఆకలి'ని ఏదో తిని చల్లార్చుకోవచ్చు. కాని మళ్ళీ ఆకలి రాకుండా మానదు. కనుక దీనికతీతంగా ఆలోచించే జ్ఞానం మనమివ్వాలి.

మనం నిరంతరం పని చేస్తూ ఉండాలని భగవద్గీత చెబుతోంది. ప్రతి పనిలో మంచి, చెడులుంటాయి. ఆయా ఫలితం దానికుంటుంది. పనిలో తాదాత్మ్యం లేనప్పుడు మన మనస్సుపై దాని ప్రభావముండదు. చేసే ప్రతి పని కొన్ని సంస్కారాలను కల్గిస్తుంది. ఇవి అంతర్లీనంగా పని చేస్తుంటాయి. ఇవి ప్రవర్తనను నిర్ణయిస్తాయి. ఇదే మన గుణమవుతుంది. మంచి పనులు చేస్తే మంచి గుణం వస్తుంది. చెడు పనులతో చెడు గుణం వస్తుంది. ఈ గుణమునకు దాసుడవుతాడు మనిషి.

మంచి పనులతో వచ్చే మంచి సంస్కారాలతో మనిషి ఇంద్రియ నిగ్రహుడవుతాడు. అప్పుడే 'సత్యం' తెలుస్తుంది. అతనెపుడూ సురక్షితంగా ఉంటాడు. అందుకే స్వామీజీలు అందరూ 'సత్సంగం' గురించి మాట్లాడుతుంటారు. సజ్జనుల సంఘటన కావాలన్నాడు శ్రీకృష్ణుడు. కాని ఈ మంచి తనమైనా, చెడు అయినా మనసుపై ముద్ర వేయని స్థితి నిజమైనది. చెడు పోయేందుకు 'మంచి' చేశాం. కాని అంతా మంచి అయిన తరువాత ఆ 'మంచి'ని ప్రత్యేకంగా చూపించే మమత్వం నుంచి బయటపడాలి. దాన్నే బంధ విముక్తి (Detachment) అంటారు. పని చేస్తూండాలి. కాని ప్రకృతి బంధంలో పడకూడదు. స్వేచ్చగా పని చేయాలి. లేకపోతే బానిసలుగా పని చేయాల్సి వస్తుంది. 99 శాతం మంది స్వార్ధం కోసం పని చేస్తున్నారు. ఫలితం బాధలు, కన్నీళ్ళే. బానిసగా పని చేసినపుడు ప్రేమించలేం. నిజమైన ప్రేమలో ఎవరికీ బాధ ఉండదు. ఉదాహరణకు ఒక పురుషుడు స్త్రీని ప్రేమించాడనుకుందాం. తను కోరుకున్నట్లే ఆమె ఉండాలి, ప్రవర్తించాలనుకోవడం ప్రేమ కాదు. అతడు ఆమెకు బానిసై, ఆమెను తన బానిసగా చేసుకుంటున్నాడు. అతను కోరుకున్నట్లు చేయకపోతే అతనికి బాధ కలుగుతుంది. బాధ కల్గించేది ప్రేమ కాదు. ప్రేమ ఆనందాన్నివ్వాలి. నీవు నీ భర్తను, భార్యను, పిల్లలను, ప్రపంచాన్ని, విశ్వాన్ని ఏమాత్రం స్వార్ధం లేకుండా, అసూయ లేకుండా ప్రేమించినట్లయితే నువ్వు బంధ విముక్తుడవే.

శ్రీకృష్ణుడు అర్జునుడితో 'అర్జునా! నేను ఒక క్షణం పని చేయడం ఆపితే ప్రపంచం నశిస్తుంది. పని చేయడం వల్ల నాకోచ్చేదేమీ లేదు. కాని ఎందుకు చేస్తున్నాను? ఎందుకంటే ప్రపంచాన్ని ప్రేమిస్తాను కాబట్టి. పిల్లల గురించి పని చేసే తండ్రి పిల్లల నుండి ఏమైనా ఆశిస్తాడా? దాన్ని బాధ్యతగా స్వీకరిస్తాడు. తిరిగి ఏమీ ఆపేక్షించడు. అదే మన ఆలోచన కావాలి. నిరపేక్షంగా చేసే పనిలో ప్రేమ ఉంటుంది. బంధాలుండవు. ఏదైనా అపేక్షిస్తేనే బంధనంలో పడిపోతాం. మన పెద్దలు దీన్నే 'నిష్కామ కర్మ' అన్నారు.

'పనికి తగ్గ కూలీ' వంటి మాటలు అన్నిచోట్ల వర్తించవు. ప్రతి పనిని 'కూలీ' ఇచ్చి చట్రంలో బిగించలేము. ప్రతిఫలాపేక్ష లేకుండా చేసే అనేక పనుల వల్ల ప్రపంచం నడుస్తోంది. ఇదే శాశ్వత సత్యం. ఇదే మనకు 'పని ద్వారా' కలగాల్సిన, మనం పొందాల్సిన జ్ఞానం.

RSS Promoting Nationalism in North-East

Dr Krishna Gopal
$img_titleRSS Sahsarkaryavah Dr Krishna Gopal said that the RSS is doing excellent work in north-eastern states to promote nationalism. “But the missionary forces are doing exactly the opposite and are encouraging separatists,” he said. He was speaking at a function organised in Lucknow to present Bhaurao Deoras Sewa Samman for the year 2011-12. Two persons, Dr Suresh Kumar Sangal of Vardan Sewa Sansthan, Ghaziabad and Shri Rinomo Sungoh of Meghalaya Shiksha Samiti were felicitated with the Sewa Samman.

Senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh and many other prominent personalities were also present on the occasion.

‘Chhatrapati Shivaji: A visionary and guiding light’ says RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat


New Delhi: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, a true nationalist and visionary, who through his exemplary courage and administrative acumen inspired generations of countrymen across Bharat. Importantly, he continues to do so even today and his thoughts on statecraft should serve as a guiding light for the present and future generations.

A few binding themes, such as these, marked the launch of a book “Shivaji & Suraj” authored by Anil Madhav Dave, a member of the Rajya Sabha.


Mohan Bhagwat addressing

“The vision, thoughts and administrative acumen of Shivaji Maharaj have inspired many generations of our countrymen. Even during present times the thoughts of Shivaji is worth emulating for each one of us,” said Dr Mohan Bhagwat , Sarasanghchalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). 

Shri Bhagwat was the Chief Guest at the book launch function. Shri Bhagwat further explained that Shivaji led from the front at a time when around 350 years of foreign rule had made the entire society pessimistic and a sense of gloom prevailed all around. “Shivaji broke shackles, both mental and physical, and instilled new vigour among all countrymen. He established a glorious polity, led it towards victory and spread nationalism all around.”

Anil Madhav Dave, also a Swayam Sevak of the RSS said his book is a result of in-depth research and objective analysis of historical facts. “Shivaji was a meticulous planner who planned everything in great detail. His acumen in military strategy is well known across the world, but he had great insight in administrative and financial matters as well,” Shri Dave said.

Also present on the dais along with Shri Dave and Shri Bhagwat was Shri Suresh Prabhu, former minister under NDA regime. “Shivaji talked about environment and water conservation when there was no perceptible threat to environment. This only endorses his foresight and make his thoughts relevant in present times,” said Shri Prabhu.

The book “Shivaji & Suraj” is being published by Prabhat Prakashan.

Shri Suresh Soni ji Sah Sarkaryawah of RSS was also present at the book launch.

The launch event was attended by around 500 people that included distinguished leaders from Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and the Bhartiya Janta Party.
