35) Ahimsaa dharmavalabhih, pashutvam na pashurmatah,
Nivruttavapi karshet tvaam, shishyaakarnaya me priya!
My dear disciple! Listen Me. Non-violence is the roof of the justice. The animal nature shall be killed and not the animal! If you succeed in pravrutti, God will drag you in Nivrutti also.
[The greatest sin is violence (ahimsaa paramo dharmah), which means hurting or killing any good living being. People have misunderstood that animals are to be killed in sacrifice done for God. The Veda says that the animal to be killed is the rigid ignorance and stupidity of the animal-nature and not the actual animal itself (manyuh pashuh - Veda)! The word ‘ajaa’ means goat as well as food grains stored for three years (so that they are not useful for germination) from which the flour is prepared and a paste of it is used to prepare the statue of the animal. Such statue of animal is to be cut as a symbolic act. Without understanding the latter intended sense, people have started killing the goats in sacrifice! Any animal including cow or bird of soft nature should not be killed for the sake of food. Scripture says that a Brahmin should not be killed, but, Ravana (Brahmin) was killed by God. Brahmin means any living being (including human being) that does not harm you even if you harm it (ghaatam na ghaatayet viprah). The deity of justice surrendered to God Datta in the form of a cow. Cow slaughter means slaughter of justice. If justice is slaughtered, the cow is slaughtered and not reverse. Any soft-natured animal including cow or bird or human being should not be slaughtered. Slaughter of justice is the whole and slaughter of Cow is a part of it. This is the essence of the climax of justice. If you are not doing the three sins mentioned in the Gita, God will be very much pleased with you and pushes you in the path of Nivrutti also to make you His nearest and dearest!]
36) Parah shreshthah svayam na jnah, krodhaalaabhah sa laabhakrut,
Na kadaapyastu tannindaa, shishyaakarnaya me priya!
My dear disciple! Listen Me. Para means good, but you can’t be the judge. No benefit by revenge, He can compensate loss. Never criticize Him.
[Generally, people think that helping others is good and harming others is bad. The authority for this concept is “Paropakaarah punyaaya, paapaaya parapidanam”. Here, the word ‘para’ means others as well as good people. We shall take the second meaning only here. Hence, it means that helping good people is for good fruit and harming good people is for bad fruit. Jesus did not harm the people, who harmed Him and by this, you shall not take the concept as that one should not harm others including bad people. The context of Jesus was totally different. By such patient nature exhibited, He wanted that the cruel hearts of sinners shall melt and get reformed. If bad people are not punished, fear will not be there, which, at least, gives temporary reformation! When you are harming somebody, you can’t be the judge being the party. A neutral person, who is scholar of ethical scriptures, shall be the judge (alukshaah dharmakaamaah - Veda).
By revenge, your loss is not compensated at all. If you leave revenge to God, He will certainly compensate your loss. God looks to be silent against whom you want to revenge. For His silence, the reason is:- You might have harmed him previously or in the previous birth and your damage by him will end the story of action and reaction or God may be giving some time to him to transform before punishing him. You should not worry that he might escape punishment through becoming reformed. What is the loss for you if he is not punished since God already compensated your loss for your patience! If you have revengeful attitude to him, you are separately punished for your revenge. Draupadi and Subhadra were having revengeful attitude towards Kauravas, for which, both were punished by the loss of their children. Uttara left the revenge to God and hence, her issue (Parikshit) was protected and was made as the King.
Without understanding the background of the doctrine of deeds, don’t criticize God with impatience and earn a fresh sin that gives an additional punishment. Always think that God is omniscient and omnipotent and hence, His administration will never have even a hair split flaw.]
37) Phalamanyatra bodhaaya, Guruvaidyah sa shaktimaan,
Anuhyaat na chyutih kvaapi, shishyaakarnaya me priya!
My dear disciple! Listen Me. For freedom of realization here, fruits are given in the upper world. But, He can break any rule like a doctor or teacher. None can escape the unimaginable God anywhere at any time.
[The general rule is that all the fruits of deeds done in this world are given to the soul in the upper world (hell or heaven) only, which is called as bhoga loka or world of enjoyment of fruits. This is for the sake of giving freedom to the soul in this world called as karma loka or world of deeds. If the soul is stressed by the fruits of the deeds in this world, the soul will not have freedom to learn the spiritual knowledge and get itself transformed. Hence, the human birth in this world is a golden opportunity for the soul to get transformed and escape all the pending punishments forever through realization, repentance and non-repetition of sin from today onwards! God is following every soul in this world as well as in the upper world like a doctor following the health checkup of the patient continuously. God has the special power to break this general rule and give fruit of past good deed or bad deed in any place at any time depending on the requirement for encouragement or rectification of the soul. God is like the teacher following continuously the academic progress of his student to take required steps anywhere at any time. Moreover, there is a special rule that intensive sins or good deeds give immediate results here itself. In view of all these rules, adjusting with each other, it is always better for the soul to avoid the sin even if good deeds are not done! The soul must remember one point very strongly, which is that the unimaginable God will punish the sinner, even if he/she escapes the law of the land here!]
38) Dattaatreya guruproktam, Datta Swami galena hi,
Upadeshaamrutam purnam, shishyaakarnaya me priya!
My dear disciple! Listen Me. This book, called as ‘Upadeshaamrutam’, told by God Dattaatreya through the throat of Dattaswami is completed.
Upadeshaamrutam is completed.
