ട്രോൾ യുഗത്തിൽ 'അപൈശുനം'??!!

🚩#_അപൈശുനം🚩

ശ്രീമത് ഭഗവത് ഗീതയിലെ പതിനാറാം അദ്ധ്യായത്തിൽ 'അപൈശുനം' എന്നൊരു പദം പ്രയോഗിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ട്.
അന്യരുടെ കുറ്റങ്ങളും കുറവുകളും അന്വേഷിച്ച് കണ്ടു പിടിച്ച് അത് വെളിച്ചത്താക്കുന്നതിൽ സന്തോഷിക്കുന്നവനെ 'പിശുന ' നെന്നു പറയുന്നു.
ആരെയെങ്കിലും നിന്ദിക്കുക, പരദൂഷണം പറയുക; ഇത് പിശുനന്റെ സ്വഭാവമാണ്. ഇവരിൽ ദുഷ്ടതയേക്കാൾ കൂടുതലുള്ളത് ഹീന തയാണ്. ആളെപ്പോലും കാണാതെ കുറ്റങ്ങൾ പറയുകയും ചരിത്രങ്ങൾ വെളിപ്പെടുത്തുകയും ചെയ്യും.
ഈ പ്രവർത്തി മൂലം സമൂഹത്തിൽ അയാളുടെ മാന്യത കുറയുകയും അയാൾ അവസാനം സ്വയം അപമാനിതനാകുകയും ചെയ്യും.
പിശുനനെ സിംഹത്തിനോടോ ചെന്നായയോടോ ഉപമിക്കാറില്ല. പുല്ലിൽ ഒളിഞ്ഞിരുന്നു കാലിൽ കൊത്തുന്ന പാമ്പിനോടാണ് ഉപമിക്കാറുള്ളത്. അതാണ് അവർക്കു യോജിച്ചത്. സമൂഹത്തിൽ ഇവരോടുള്ളത്ര വെറുപ്പും വിദ്വേഷവും ദുഷ്ടന്റെയോ ക്രൂരന്റേയോ നേർക്കുപോലും ഉണ്ടാകുന്നില്ല.
ചിലപ്പോൾ പിശുനൻ സ്വയം വിചാരിക്കുകയും പറയുകയും ചെയ്യും.
" ഞാൻ സത്യത്തിനു വേണ്ട സേവനമാണ് ചെയ്ത് കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നത്. ഇത്ര കഠിനമായ കർത്തവ്യം അനുഷ്ഠിക്കുന്നതിനു സമുദായം എന്നെ അഭിനന്ദിക്കുകയാണു വേണ്ടത്. അതിനു പകരം ആളുകൾ എന്നെ നിന്ദിക്കുന്നു. ഇതെല്ലാം സഹിച്ചു ഞാൻ ഹൃദയത്തെ കഠിനമാക്കി നമ്രഭാവത്തോടെ സത്യത്തെ പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.
ഇതെന്റെ ധീരതയാണ്, ആത്മാർപ്പണമാണ് മറ്റുള്ളവർ സത്യനിഷ്ഠയെ ശിഥിലമാക്കി തങ്ങളുടെ മാന്യതയെ പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനു വേണ്ടി മൗനം അവലംബിക്കുന്നു.
അതിനാൽ ദുർജ്ജനങ്ങൾക്ക് എന്തിനും സൗകര്യം കിട്ടുന്നു.
സമുദായത്തിൽ ഞങ്ങളേപ്പോലെ സത്യത്തിനു വേണ്ടി സേവനമനുഷ്ഠിക്കുന്നവർ കുറയുന്നതു കൊണ്ട് ഞങ്ങൾക്കവരുടെ മാന്യതവകവച്ചു കൊടുക്കേണ്ടി വരുന്നു.
സമുദായം ഞങ്ങളുടെ സേവനത്തിൽ നിന്ന് മുതലെടുക്കുന്നു. എന്നിട്ട് ഞങ്ങളെ ഹീനൻമാരെന്ന് വിളിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു."
അന്യരുടെ ദൂഷ്യങ്ങളെ പരസ്യപ്പെടുത്തുന്നത് വാസ്തവത്തിൽ ആവശ്യമാണോ? അതു തുറന്നു കാണിക്കുവാൻ, പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കുവാൻ, പ്രചരിപ്പിക്കുവാൻ തനിക്ക് അധികാരമുണ്ടോ? എന്നാണ് മനുഷ്യൻ ആദ്യമായി ചിന്തിക്കേണ്ടത്. അതാണ് ശരിയായ ഉരകല്ല്.
പിശുനന്റെ ഗുണത്തെ പിശുനത എന്നു പറയുന്നു. പിശനത എന്ന ദുർഗുണം വർദ്ധിക്കുകയും സർവ്വസാധാരണമായിത്തീരുകയും ചെയ്യുന്ന സമുദായത്തിന് ഒരിക്കലും ഉത്കർഷമുണ്ടാവില്ല.
അവിടെ എല്ലാ ഗുണങ്ങളും മണ്ണോടു ചേരുന്നു. അതിനാൽ പിശുനതയെ സമുദായ വിരുദ്ധമായ വൃത്തി എന്നു പറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു. ദൈവിക വൃത്തിയോടു കൂടിയ സമുദായത്തിൽ ഇതു കാണുകയില്ല. അപൈശുനം ദൈവീക സമ്പത്തിന്റെ ഒരു മുഖ്യ ലക്ഷണമാണ്.
പിശുനത എന്ന ദുർഗ്ഗുണത്തെ നശിപ്പിക്കുവാൻ സ്വാമി നമ്മെ എപ്പോഴും ഓർമ്മിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.

”അഹിംസാ സത്യമക്രോധ
സ്ത്യാഗ: ശാന്തിരപൈശുനം"

What spirituality is? Kaushika’s story as told by Ram Vakkalanka

There was a young man called Kaushika, who practiced meditation and yogic austerities for a long time in a forest near a city called Mithila in northeastern part of India. One day, while Kaushika was resting under a tree after a long stretch of meditation, a crane landed on top of the branch directly above Kaushika and defecated. The bird’s excretion fell on Kaushika’s head. Kaushika felt uncontrollable wrath at this and looked at the bird severely. As if Kaushika’s angry looks were a deadly arrow, the crane fell down dead. Seeing this, Kaushika thought to himself that be due to his austerities, he attained some kind of extraordinary powers and was proud of himself.

Just as a honey-bee collects honey little by little from many flowers, the spiritual aspirant has to collect his food little by little from different households, without being a burden on any family. The aspirants are allowed only one meal a day and they can ask for food only three times. As per the tradition, Kaushika went into the city to get some food later that day. As luck would have it, Kaushika didn’t get any food from the first two houses he chose that day. Kaushika stood in front of the third and last house for the day, hungry and tired, and asked for food. The lady of the house was busy serving a meal to her family at that time and didn’t respond promptly to Kaushika. Having asked for food three times and not getting any response, Kaushika was about to move on with a little disappointment, when he saw the lady of the house hastily coming out with some food to donate. Starving and impatient, Kaushika looked at her angrily for the inordinate delay in serving him food.

The lady, sensing Kaushika’s anger, looked at him quietly and said, “I was busy serving my family and hence the delay. Besides, I am not a crane to be killed by your angry looks.” Kaushika’s consternation knew no bounds! How did this lady know about the morning’s incident, to which there were only two witnesses: himself and the crane! The lady, as if reading Kaushika’s thoughts said to him, “Yoga is not just about sitting under a tree and meditating. You can attain enlightenment by discharging your responsibilities perfectly and being detached. If you have further doubts, please see the town butcher Dharmavyadha and he will give you all answers.”

Kaushika, quite humbled, silently walked away from there looking for Dharmavyadha, the butcher. As soon as Dharmavyadha saw Kaushika, he smiled, addressed Kaushika by name and remarked about the latter’s encounter with the lady as if he were a direct witness to the incident. This was the second shock for the day to Kaushika. Reduced to dust by the so-called commoners, Kaushika humbly asked Dharmavyadha what kind of yogic practices he practiced to obtain such miraculous spiritual powers. Dharmavyadha said to Kaushika, “I never practiced any spiritual austerities, meditation or yoga like you. All I know is how to do my duty well. I serve my parents and elders, take care of my family, fulfill my obligations to the society and I practice detachment from all this knowing that I am the eternal self and always free.” Kaushika received Dharmavyadha’s teachings with utmost reverence, realized his folly in talking the life of an innocent bird and left with a perfect idea of yoga philosophy.

Adi Shankaracharya, one of the most renowned yoga philosophers, said: Svasvakarmanushthanameva Bhagavataha Puja - fulfilling one’s duties and obligations constitutes highest spiritual austerity and leads to spiritual liberation. Bhagavadgita, one of the most authoritative works on yoga, offers an interesting definition of yoga: Yogaha Karmasu Kaushalam – yoga is perfect fulfillment of one’s duties. In other words, a plumber who does a great job is practicing yoga, an athlete who brings medals to his country is a yogi, a mother who raises a healthy family is a yogi, a leader who leads his community towards progress is a yogi. Yoga is the birthright of everyone; no country, no culture, no color, no race has an exclusive right to it. The housewife, the musician, the mechanic…anyone can (and should) be a yogi.

The Fourth Dimnesion -a book by Dr.Paul Yonggi Cho

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. 4By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead." Hebrews 11:1-3 (By Faith)
There are certain steps we must follow for faith to be properly incubated and a central truth about the realm faith operates in. There is also a basic principle about the spoken word that we need to understand. So I want to speak to you about the creative power of the spoken word and the reason why the useage of it is so important.
One morning I was eating breakfast with one of Korea’s leading neurosurgeons, and he was telling me about a recent finding about various operations of the brain. He asked, “Dr. Cho, did you know that the speech center in the brain rules over all the nerves? You ministers really have power, because according to our recent findings in neurology, the speech center in the brain has total dominion over all the other nerves.”
I laughed saying, “I’ve known that for a long time.”
He asked me, “How did you know that? In the world of neurology, these are new findings.”
I replied that I had learned it from Dr. James.
“Who is this Dr. James,” he asked.
“Why, he was one of the famous doctors in Biblical times nearly 2000 years ago,” I replied. “And in his book, chapter 3 the first few verses, Dr. James clearly defines the activity and the importance of the tongue and the speech center.”
The neurosurgeon was completely amazed. “Does the Bible really teach about this?”
“Yes, the tongue is the least member of the body, but it can bridle the whole body.”
Then the neurosurgeon began to expond on their findings. He said that the speech nerve center has such power over all the body that simply speaking can give one control over his body to manipulate it in the way he wishes. He said, “if someone keeps on saying, ‘I’m going to become weak,’ then right away, all the nerves receive that message and they say, ‘oh, let’s prepare to become weak, for we have received instructions from our central communication that we should become weak.’ They then in natural sequence adjust their physical attitude to weakness. If someone says, ‘Well, I have no ability - I can’t do this job, then right away all the nerves begin to declare the same thing. ‘Yes, they respond, we received instructions from the central nervous system saying that we have no abilities. To give up striving to develop any capability we must prepare ourselves to become a part of an incapable person.’
“If someone keeps saying, ‘I’m very old, I’m so very old and so tired, I can’t do anything,’ then right away the speech central control response begins giving out orders to that effect. The nerves response - ‘yes, we are old. We are ready for the grave. Let’s be ready to disintigrate.’ If someone keeps on saying that he is old, then that person is soon going to die.”
The neurosurgeon continued saying that man should never retire. Once a man retires, he keeps repeating to himself, “I am retired.” And all the nerves start responding and become less active and ready for a quick death.
That conversation carried great meaning to me. It made an impact on my life. For I could see that one important useage of the spoken word is the creation of a successful personal life. People easily adapt to speaking in an negative way. “Boy am I poor. I don’t even have any money to the Lord.” When an opportunity does come for a job with a good salary, the nervous system responds. “I’m not able to be rich, because I haven’t received that reverse instruction from my nerve center yet. I’m supposed to be poor. So I can’t accept this job. I’m not supposed to have money.”
Light attracts light. And since you act as if you were a poor person, you attract poverty. This attraction, if it remains permanent, will allow you to dwell permantly in poverty. Exactly as the Bible said 2000 years ago, it is so today. Medical science has just recently discovered this principle. This one neurosurgeon said that people should keep saying to themselves, “I am young, I am able, I can do the work of a young person, no matter what my chronological age is.” The nerves of that person will become alive and receive power and strength from the nerve center.
The Bible says clearly that whosoever controls the tongue controls the whole body. What you speak, you are going to get. If you keep on saying you are poor, then all your system conditions yourself to attract poverty. You will feel at home in poverty. You would rather be poor and argue with people who aren’t.
But if you will keep on saying that you are able - that you can achieve success, then all of your body would be bridled to success. You would be ready to meet any challenge; ready to conquer it. This is the reason you should never speak in a negative way.
We have the habit of making frequent use of words that have to do with dying. Common expresions are, “it’s so warm I could die. Oh, I’ve eaten so much I could suffocate to death. Oh, I’m so happy I could die. Oh, I’m scared to death. Koreans repeatedly use these negative words. That is the reason that throughout Korea 5000 year history we have been constantly dying constantly at war. My generation has never seen peace in this country. I was born during World War II, and I grew up during the Korean War. And now we still live in a country on the brink of war.
Before you can be changed, you must change your language. If you do not change your language, you cannot change yourself. If you want to see your children change, you must teach them how to use proper language. If you want to see rebellious and irresponsible children change into responsible adults, you must teach them this new language.
Where can we learn this new language? From the best book of all. The Bible. From Genesis to Revelation. The Bible’s language, the Bible’s rules for the tongue. (Look up all the words having to do with the tongue such as “speak,” “speech,” “words,” “tongue,” etc, in the Bible. )*
Feed your nervous system with these words. Constructive, progressive, productive, victorious words. Keep repeating them so that you can have control of your whole body. Then you will become victorious. For you will become completely conditioned to meet your environment and circumstances and achieve complete success.
