CHENNAI: The aggressive students movement in Indian capital city of Delhi in recent days has clearly taught everyone one lesson that ‘Every action has an equal and opposite reaction’. It’s a matter of common understanding that when we want happiness and peace for ourselves, we should keep others also happy and peaceful. However, if we would make anyone unhappy, then we too would also be unhappy, as this is a natural phenomenon working in the universe.
The method of retaliation has lately become a norm in order to bring home to the opposite party, our viewpoint. However, little do such elements know that they are destroying their own national property and wasting their money thereby making everyone anxious. It would, in these circumstances, be highly beneficial to draw people's attention to the teachings of the almighty which says that we should not do anything which may cause pain to others or to ourselves.
We have first of all, to remember that whichever method of protest we adopt, we do not take it up with any feeling of compulsion or despair. Because any agency, party or a certain individual has done something that is wrong in principle, it would be wrong on our part to allow any feeling of pain or sorrow to enter our minds.
If anyone has committed a wrong or bad action, should we, on that account, commit a wrong action; in other words, take to badness as our weapon ? NO!.. We should ask ourselves, has ever evil been wiped out by another evil? If, while observing the evil ways of a person, we, so to say, also allow evil to enter us, we have thereby given into vice which is our enemy. Such people should never be allowed to thrive good conduct, peace and goodwill.
Thus, it is clear that if we wish well for ourselves and to all mankind and desire good to all, we should never let ourselves, even in the gravest situation, receive pain or sorrow by transmission, as otherwise, all our actions will simply be a negation, an agent of destruction and sorrow and bring in unrest in ourselves.
