Column by Pandit Vijayshankar Mehta- A new environment will be created by the style of conversation in homes | पं. विजयशंकर मेहता का कॉलम: घरों में बातचीत की शैली से नया वातावरण तैयार होगा

Pt. Vijayshankar Mehta

Shri Ram teaches us how to have intimate discussions with our loved ones. He had decided that now he had to end his life and leave, then he had a final discussion with the people of Ayodhya. He said, ‘Sunahu Sakal Purjan Maam Bani. What should I say, Mamta ur aani…’. ‘O citizens of the city, listen to me. I am not saying this with any affection in my heart.

Neither am I talking about immorality, nor is there any sovereignty in it. Therefore, leaving aside fear and hesitation, listen to my words carefully and do whatever you like. There is humility in each of its words, a suggestion, a slight order, but there is a taste of familiarity. Today, when we talk in our homes, adopt this style of conversation of Lord Shri Ram.

You should not hesitate to follow it, give up fear and listen carefully to what your people say. And in belonging there should always be a scope for you to accept what we are saying, but still you should remain independent. It is our request that you do such good work, but we are not putting pressure.

If we talk to our loved ones in this way, then the accusations of giving orders to each other in homes today will disappear and a new environment will be created.
