(Around the beginning of the month, a nugget of Wisdom from the Jagadguru may be posted
on the Chaturamnaya list : http://lists.advaita-vedanta.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/chaturamnaya )
?
?
Nowadays, some people harbour a misconception. For?
instance, when asked to perform good deeds, they simply?
put off the request saying: "This is the Kali Yuga. What good?
can we do?"?
?
At a time when assistance should be offered to a person in?
need, they offer excuses like: "That is his fate. This is Kali?
Yuga" and without an iota of compassion (daya) or empathy,?
they refrain from offering help.?
?
In a similar manner, when a certain situation demands a?
truthful statement, they utter falsehood and totally ruin?
the task.?
?
Such people are only deceiving themselves under the?
pretext of ?Kali Yuga.? This attitude is not right.?
?
Qualities like speaking the truth, compassion and offering?
help to another without any expectation are considered 'sat?
gunas' (virtuous qualities) at all times. Righteous and?
unrighteous people exist in all Yugas. Therefore, one must?
not utter untruth, be devoid of compassion or refrain from?
helping others, citing Kali Yuga as a reason.

It means: What can Kali Yuga do to that person whose?
heart is filled with compassion, speech is ever truthful and?
body is ever engaged in the service of others??
?
When a person's speech, mind and body are well aligned,?
no harm will befall him, he will beget only good. Our?
Blessings to all to understand and practise this in their?
lives.
