Only a pure soul can have humility. And the humility brings
about all other virtues including simplicity, honesty, patience, love,
kindness and above all self-confidence. Humility sprouts from the
heart. It is never practised for effect or benefit. Therefore, everybody
trusts people who are filled with humility. Humility saves the world
from all evils like deception, greed, hatred, anger, competition,
suspicion and discontentment. It spreads simplicity, peace, harmony
and contentment in humankind.
Some may wonder when it is said that honesty sometimes may involve
lies also. But it is true. A lie said with a good intention like saving an
innocent life from a gang of thieves as in a story of Mahabharata epic
amounts to honesty. The test of honesty is doing well to others. Such
acts endear us to all. Simplicity and kindness are the life-blood of
honesty. Only honesty with its simplicity and kindness makes us true
human beings.
Dishonesty may help for the time being but it harms our interests
in the long term. For example, if one tells lies now, he may save
himself from being in trouble. But then, if his lie in uncovered, than, he
is in double trouble for doing the wrong and then on top of it telling the
lie to cover the wrong. So one must not tell lies.
Honesty makes all the people to like him and thus gives him a
good name in the society. It is nice to tell the truth as our conscience
will not be affected and it will also give people a favourable impression
and thus lessen our heavenly punishment.
There are many such examples as these wherein sheer will and
determination took far ahead in life for great accomplishments. Will
and determination do raise a person to greater heights. Humans in
themselves must develop such a quality.

WAR IS DESTRUCTIVE
If peace gets a chance, all nations and all countries prosper. But,
if war befalls on the world, I foresee that by the next century, there
may be almost no one living on the watery planet, the Earth.
During the Kargil war, Afghanistan war and Iraq wars, people in
thousands died due to the use of advanced technology. We must take
these examples to our mind and ask ourselves whether we want
people to die.
Nobody understood the evils of war and the blessings of peace
more than the Mauryan Emperor, Asoka, the Great. How Kalinga war
transformed him to an apostle of peace is a legend now.
