Pravrutti (worldly life) is the important basic stage for Nivrutti (Spiritual life). If Pravrutti is correct and strong, Nivrutti can stand on it with peace and balance. Today, the position of Pravrutti is in high danger. In fact, God often incarnates Himself to establish Pravrutti only. He never encourages Nivrutti because the devotion to God is the subject of the devotee. God takes up the responsibility for Pravrutti since He is the creator of this universe. In fact, God opposes Nivrutti so that the real devotee can come out with successful colors. The examiner gives difficult question so that the student will expose his real knowledge. Therefore, in the Gita, God said that He comes down to establish the justice related to Pravrutti only (Dharma samsthapanaarthaya…). He never mentioned that He comes down to establish the devotion.
The fundamental concept in the social behavior of the human being is in its way of thinking without proper analysis. Everybody sees his own defect, which is in the size of a mountain as if it is in the size of an atom only. Everybody sees others’ defects as mountains even though they are in the size of atoms. This is the fundamental mistake for the destruction of peace in the society. Everybody should see his own atom-size defect as mountain and should see the mountain-size defect in others as atom. If this view is developed by everybody, there will not be violence in the society. The human being misunderstands the truth of the topic due to his wrong view. The analysis of God will be always different. You should not judge the conclusion of a case since you are a part of it. People, who are scholars in the ethical scriptures, should judge the case. The ethical scriptures are written by sages based on the preaching of God. Therefore, the ethical scripture should be viewed as the direct commandment of God. Even in the case of a third party, we often misunderstand based on human sentiments. The analysis should be always beyond any sentiment. Let us take the case of Shri Rama leaving Sita based on the bad comment of a washerman. Since we see Sita shocked by grief in weeping state, we conclude that Rama is cruel and Sita is punished without her mistake. Even men are moved by such situation and not to speak of women, who always support Sita in favor of their own gender. If you analyze this case with shrewd brain rising above all the sentiments, the truth is totally different. For such situation, the reason is that Ravana stole away Sita in the forest. What is the reason for such stealing of Ravana? The reason is the unimaginable cruel words of Sita to Lakshmana, who protected her on the order of Rama. While going away, Rama told clearly that the demons will play several tricks and that Lakshmana should not leave Sita under any circumstances. In spite of such serious message of Rama, Sita scolded him. Lakshmana also told her that Rama is incarnation of God and nothing will happen to Him. Sita created a false angle, blaming Lakshmana for his unjust attraction towards Sita. Lakshmana said that he never looked at her above her feet. What is the reply of the so called ‘Aassociations of women’ for this unimaginable foolish behavior of Sita? Because of such behavior only, Lakshmana left her and Ravana stole her and due to this only, the statement of the washerman is generated. Is not Sita responsible for this whole episode?
Therefore, everybody concludes himself as good and others as bad when he is the party of the case. In such situation, everybody should immediately think in the reverse way and see the possibility of himself being wrong and others being right. In fact, the analysis of God in the upper world regarding your case is going to be always reverse. All your proposals generally get disposed by God since your analysis is generally wrong. Try to always think the reverse of your way of thinking. Then only, you can understand the truth. Then only, the Pravrutti gets established with perfect love and peace. This leads to the peace and harmony of the world.
