ADVICE TO A FRIEND — EVILS IN TRADE

The majority of human transactions are made through trade which is essential for the benefit of mankind. So, a few words may be said on this subject. It is well known to you that trade and commerce mould the character of the people to a great extent. Almost all people are directly or indirectly connected with it. Some are buyers, some sellers, some producers and some consumers. The human life is intended to do something with somebody. So an individual or a nation gets ample opportunity for attaining virtuous qualities such as honesty, truthfulness, sincerity and the likes through trade. A trade, when conducted with a good motive is a source of benefit and service to mankind. It is again trade that stimulates energy in men and leads them to discoveries and inventions.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND — GAMBLING

  

In spite of being fully aware of the Divine Decree pronounced of man, ‘In the sweat of thy brow thou halt earn thy bread,’ he could not fully keep his faith in this saying. He is not fully satisfied with his own honest earning, but hankers after getting something big without toil and trouble. If anything accidentally comes to his possession he calls it the gift of fortune. He forgets that things obtained without labour ie,, through luck or by chance cannot give him as real pleasure as do those gained through honest labour.  A man who is gifted with such fortune, considers himself as a more trustee and not the real owner of the things. He doubts that the gifts are either more or less than he actually deserves. The trail of luck in whatever form is full of risk and uncertainty.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND — BETTING

With the progress of modern civilization, our life is becoming more and more complex. Our whole life became a feverish pursuit after money, or some martial gain to satisfy our varied wants. We know no rest, no peace of mind to have something by chance. Hence, there is lack of fellow feelings in us. One tries to snatch away the pocket of other by devising some means. One of such devices is betting which has become a kind of amusement now-a-days.

In a betting, a man loses his balance, over estimates his power of strength and becomes almost mad for victory. It has become a fashion to respond quickly to a challenge in a bet. Silence to such challenges is feared to be termed cowardice. In my opinion, one’s lack of such courage is one’s moral gain.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND — TEA

There is a saying, of course, I am not sure whether it is based on experimental method that if about two pounds of tea leaves are offered to a horse of prodigious strength, the horse would die soon. But in spite of such warning, tea has come to the forefront of all human consumption. Now-a-days, tea has occupied a leading position in all countries of hot and moist climate. It has free entrance in a king’s place, in a warriors camp, in a states man’s chamber and is also entertained in a peasant’s hut. Should we then place it in the category of food——– wholesome food, when loved and welcomed by people of all places and position without examining its contents—- that how much vitamin or body building ingredient it possess? Let us suppose sending some quantity of pure tea juice to a laboratory for analysis.

As far as we can predict, the report would convey that vitamin of any kind in it is absent, rather some injurious elements are present —– that cannot be altogether overlooked. Men who are not yet accustomed to this habit, ( such person are in a hopeless minority ) will surely realize from its initial taste that it destroys appetite, sleep and causes indigestion, headache or uneasiness. Some may put an excuse that milk and sugar are added in it to make it harmless and palatable. Should they also hold that a drop of poison will become harmless if added with some quantity of milk and sugar? The facts are, ——as one can suppose, for having light intoxication of mild excitement, tea is generally taken.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND — SMOKING

 

Smoking is an ugly habit,——- yet a very popular one now- a- days. If you are addicted to this habit once, it will be very difficult for you to get rid of it; since habit is sometimes stronger than nature. The root of this habit, if for sometimes fed upon, cannot be removed however destructive a weapon, may be used against it. This habit generally leads a man going to the extreme where it makes him deplore for his carelessness in the past.

Smoking is harmful to the human system. For experimental shake, just take a puff of smoke in your mouth and push it through a piece of clean and white cloth. What do you see? Has not the smoke mildly burnt the threads of the cloth through which it managed to escape? And what will be the effect of similar experiment on human tissues? —– some of which are finer and thinner than spider’s threads?

The lungs by frequent pressure of smoke become black and  a thin coating on the surface of the lungs is formed, which is distinctly visible through X-Rays. The smoke makes the eye-sight weaker, the pulse-beat faster and the power of blood weaker. The freshness of the brain is ebbed away and a man’s thinking power runs short.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND — SELFISHNESS

Selfishness is one of the worst fillings of human nature. Different fillings in human mind originate from either love or greed. Selfishness generally grows for one to love, lack of broad outlook and influence of greed. Man is, as we see, a social being and essentially stands in need of a society which renders him help, guidance and encouragement and he in his tern offers sympathy, sacrifice and help to it- without which the society cannot exist. Except the saint and savage everybody is linked up with a society. It is the social origination which satisfies the needs of different classes of people who are tied with it. History reveals that the growth and progress of an idle society is not possible if there prevails selfishness amongst its members. It is also observed that the more selfless the citizens are, the more advanced the nation is, and more prosperous is the country.

If we look towards Nature, we find that there is no place of selfishness in it. The cow gives milk, the tree bears fruit and casts shadow, the flower bloom, the sun shines, the wind blows not for themselves but entirely for the benefits of others. The countless manifestations of God bear witness that there is no place of selfishness even in mute Nature. Every minute atom though working in its own sphere, yet co-operating with the rest would for the fulfillment of the Universal plan.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND ---------- WINE

Wine like opium apowerful intoxicating substance claims a very wide area for its use. When taken in excess, a man may die then and there.

Many a dangerous and incurable disease springs forth from drinking. This habit is generally acquired through the influence of bad company whose requests and persuasions compel one to have a taste of it. Several repetitions of such compliance whether under request or under pressure of influence, make one bold to have a direct contact with the thing and thus one gradually gets the habit formed.

The first action of wine is to attack and injure the liver which plays a vital role in the human system. No liquor in free from alcohol and alcohol has pernicious effect on stomach. As soon as the alcohol is pushed inside the stomach, the latter tries to belch it up due to its excessive strength of fermentation. That is why the beginners experience vomiting or nauseous sensation at their primary stage. But a drunken man forcibly prevents it from coming out of his stomach by providing a cover of other food articles, for fear of losing its action. As a result, the liquor fails to get its exit and goes back to harm this important organ. Loss of appetite and symptoms of indigestion are observed at the first stage, then many other dangerous effects appear by and by from its frequent use.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND- IMPATIENCE

                             

 Impatience shunts one from patience or endurance which is slowly the keynote to success. Life is full of wants and sufferings; but being impatient who can get rid of them? Rather, a man of patience, sober and clam by nature meets his demands more rightly and quickly, or is able to tackle a difficult situation more efficiently than a man of impatient habits. Most of us are aware that behind every achievement there is a history of patience and perseverance. 

Impatience generally excites the mind at the sight of some impending dangers, difficulty, loss, wants etc.  A wise and competent man faces those unpleasant situations calmly; because he is well aware that the presence of impatience in the mind would increase the calamity actually touches him.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND ----TEMPTATION

Temptation

There are certainunruly feelings in of which temptation is the strongest one. It always tries to lead a man towards selfishness. When grown unmanageable it drags one’s mind from the original seat of virtue and leads one to move in wilderness ----- in the region of false, illegal or uncertain hopes. Temptation in a mind acts like a piece of iron near some powerful magnet. It aims and jumps on an object from which it cannot free itself.
Temptation alone is sufficient to destroy the moral excellence of man. It misleads an individual or a nation by making the individual or the nation mad to process the belongings of others. It is also responsible for many a catastrophe, devastation, blood-shed, disaster, humiliation and danger which at times claim a heavy tool of human life and property. It also threatens the very existence of many other species --- essential for maintaining nature’s balance.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND -- DISHONESTY

                                    Chapter – ll                                

Dishonesty

Dishonesty is antithesis of honesty. It makes a man to think and do a work which is opposite to all sorts of moral and natural laws. As honesty opens the door for bringing nobler qualities, dishonesty shuts the door from them. Dishonesty corrupts the purity of the mind and helps the growth of vice, such as faithlessness, backbiting, cheating, hypocrisy and the likes. It casts around it a sense of suspicion and distrust.

Dishonesty arises from a sense of making oneself gainer at the cost of others. Whatever a man gains by this means is really by causing loss to others. So it is closely linked up with selfishness. The influence of dishonesty upon men and especially upon men of weak character is more than that of honesty. For man is by nature a follower of imitation and he picks up vice more quickly than virtue; because, vice is acquired mainly for feeding the low desire of instinct. But the attainment of virtue calls for a great deal of pain, effort, sacrifice and knowledge. Dishonesty however kept concealed, is sure to expose itself in the long run. And how? Well, that will be seen when you will turn over the next few pages.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND -- THE RIGHT USE OF MONEY

           

       Chapter – ll    

Money has often been condemned as an evil by various people of every country and every age. Such advice may be applicable and followed only by those who can live and isolated life, being totally detached from a society. But this advice is quite impracticable for men living in a society and having various transactions with one another. So close it the connection of man with money that it may be called as a part of his limb, --limb of that type the necessity of which is constantly felt.

Actually money by itself is not necessarily an evil thing which is often spoken to be; its goodness or badness depends on the use we make of it. Money confers a great blessing in the right hand while its wrong use brings suffering, anguish, fear and implements which themselves are neither good nor bad; but are, what they are made of by the people who use them. Hence, one should learn to use it in a right direction from an early age.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND -- RIGHT USE OF TIME

                                                                        Chapter – ll                      

The right use of time is more important than the right use of money; for time is more precious than money. If anything is passing swiftest in this world it is time and that is why it is said, ”One cannot take a second plunge in the same river.” Like a rapid river time passes on, - this is the law of nature and no one can alter or amend the law of nature.

The vast field of work is lying before us and time come to our doors inviting everyone to seize itself to perform his duties. The wise and the active men arrest it and put it to their service and reap a rich harvest, while the foolish and idle people set it free without acquiring any gain out of it. Though life is short, but is enough for an active one. A study of the lives of great men reveals that unnecessarily long lives are not essential for the attainment of eminence. Their achievements and success were not the outcome of long lives but of their right use of time.

The more we work the more we gain; - this is the law of nature. Work done by any hand will produce some result. A bad man plants a seed and enjoys the fruits of the tree, but a good man who does not do so cannot claim any tree or a fruit. A man in work finds enjoyment, gains, experience and with the progress of work his pleasure or satisfaction increases. But the time of an idle man slips away in idle and unproductive pursuits and throws him to repent in the long run.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND --- DUTIES TO YOUR PARENTS

We can understand that God casts a veil between Him and His creatures, but at the same time continually bestows upon his creatures His unending love and affection through different agents. Of all the human agents, our parents are the foremost to welcome us as soon as we appear on earth. It is, therefore, evident that God’s care and love are first implanted into our parents heart and those are transmitted to us through various ways.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND FELLOW – FEELINGS

                                                                        Chapter – ll                              

Feelings

Men formed themselves into groups and willingly came under the chain of the laws of societies, not only for getting help but to render help as well, to the deserving. The weak joined a society to be helped by the strong and the strong participated in it to give help and protection to the weak. All members in a society indirectly serve each other in varied degrees, for the common comfort and happiness of all and their co-operation and contribution are essential for the happy growth of a society. In an ideal society a member thinks of the society first and then about himself. Such noble feelings, to cite few examples, led to the establishment of schools, colleges, libraries, hospitals and the construction of roads and communications, or say, the invention of machines, tools, weapons, medicine etc, were mainly the outcome of this fellow - feelings.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND --- AMBITION

                                                                   Chapter – ll                                                    

Ambition is a strong desire to become great or to cherish higher hopes for improving oneself in future. It bestows life, speed and strength to a work. The progress, prosperity and achievement of men are the outcome of this feeling.

Ambition is good and desirable when it aims at doing good to mankind or to relieve the distress of men and animals. But when a man desires to possess it to enrich himself by a hook or by crook, or secure for himself an advantageous place or position only to meet his selfish ends, or to take revenge on others being in a superior position, is a perverted ambition. It is better to have no ambition rather than having such self-cent red ambition which is capable of doing infinite harm to mankind.

ADVICE TO A FRIEND --- CONTENTMENT

Contentment means to remain happy with one’s present possession. If we remain satisfied with our present belongings and position, our peace and happiness cannot be disturbed by growing wants. To reconcile with one’s own lot is a great virtue and this makes one to remain free from anxieties and this sort of healthy condition of the mind is called contentment. It is an inborn virtue but may be inculcated and developed. The man who gets it as his nature, can develop it with the acquisition of true knowledge and the man who wants it, can acquire it by slow degrees. It fills out mind with joy, satisfaction and cheerfulness. It fills our mind with joy, satisfaction and cheerfulness. Where there is joy there is life; so, contentment indirectly begets life.

Mind

As all animals have physical organs, so also they have some sense feelings, consciousness, wish or memory, all of which may be termed in one word as mind. Man is distinguished from other animals, because he is endowed with a powerful mind. Physically he is not remarkably strong, but his thinking and inventive mind, his power of judgment and his capacity to distinguish right from wrong, have led him to occupy the leading position on earth, although he has been sent much later than the other created beings on the earth.
