परमार्थ की पुण्य- प्रवृत्ति

The Kind Act of Benevolence

प्रत्येक श्रेष्ठ व्यक्ति ने, प्रत्येक बुद्धिमान और विचारशील मनुष्य ने यह ध्यान रखा है कि भजन-पूजन, तीर्थ-उद्यापन, कथा-कीर्तन आत्मबल बढ़ाने के लिए आवश्यक विधान हैं पर उनका संबंध अपने तक ही सीमित है। उनका लाभ उपयोगी, उचित एवं महत्वपूर्ण तो हैं, पर पुण्य-परमार्थ की श्रेणी में नहीं गिने जा सकते । परमार्थ वे हैं जिनसे संसार में सद्-विचारों और सद्भावों की वृद्धि होती है तथा पिछड़े हुओं को उठने का अवसर मिलता है । प्राचीनकाल में ब्राह्मण वर्ग इस परमार्थ में ही अपना सारा जीवन लगाता था।   -पं. श्रीराम शर्मा आचार्य युग निर्माण योजना - दर्शन, स्वरूप व कार्यक्रम-६६ (३.२९)		Almost every virtuous individuals, wise and thoughtful people, have paid due attention to the fact that worship, devotional songs, rituals, pilgrimage, religious observances, religious discourses, etc. are all indeed essential tools for spiritual growth but their usefulness is purely limited to the person who actually performs them. The benefits they yield are truly useful, desirable and indispensable. Despite that these observances cannot be considered as benevolent acts beneficial to the masses. A truly unselfish, noble action of benevolence is one that helps to cultivate good thoughts, good feelings and goodwill among all and creates opportunities to improve the life of the backward and disadvantaged people in society. In ancient times, people with sublime qualities of a Brahmin caliber used to dedicate their entire life to doing such noble altruistic work helpful to the masses.     -Pt. Shriram Sharma Acharya Translated from - Pandit Shriram Sharma Acharya’s work Yug Nirman Yojna - philosophy, format and program -66 (3.29)
