Like the moon that illumines the night, The sun that illumines the day, and that illumines the three worlds, A good son sheds light on his entire lineage. (Sanskrith poem) THIS vast world needs light for its existence. A man of wisdom is more powerful than a physically strong man, just as a puny is able to control an elephant. It is not enough for people to rely on physical strength alone. Man depends on four sources of light for dispelling darkness. The moon dispels darkness at night. No one except thieves loves darkness. Good people, well-intentioned persons have no liking for darkness. Darkness also signifies ignorance. During the day the sun is the natural source of light. Human life will be impossible without the light of the sun. The sun is the cause for rains, which enable crops to grow and sustain human life. Sun is also the source of health and of happiness. (right conduct) illumines the entire world. The word means that which "upholds". It is which teaches the right relationship between man and man, man and society and society and society. reveals to man through his heart what is right and what is wrong, what is true and what is false. It is which promotes the welfare of society. protects its protector. The world cannot exist without . A good son is one who sets an example by his conduct: One who pursues selfish ends cannot be a good son. A good son is one who reveres and serves his parents, who honours his preceptor, who is humble and respectful towards elders and who cams a good name by his service to society. It is because such sons have become rare that the country is today bedevilled by wickedness and evil practices.
