Pt. Vijayshankar Mehta's column: We should learn not to make fun of sainthood

The conduct of the society has become such these days that the monk has to be extremely careful. If there is politics in religion, then there will be political faults. But whenever this happens, we ordinary people should learn one thing not to make fun of the sainthood. Because it is these saints who explained power from time to time, but did not take interest in politics. Vashisht ji had explained to Shri Ram how to remain dispassionate in the taste of power for 21 consecutive days. This is called Yoga Vashishta. In such difficult times, increase your faith in God. We should not be too disturbed by the relationship between society, sages, power. Time will show a different view. If God is present in life, then one gets the benefit that the Pandavas got. Drona taught both the Kauravas and the Pandavas how to wield weapons, but Shri Krishna explained the meaning of war. So weapons alone will not suffice, the psychology of war will have to be understood. Therefore, no matter what field we belong to, we should not take up arms without understanding war.
