Avoid Hating, Envying and Disliking
संस्कार
Dr. Manoj Kumar Patel
Why should we give importance to the right
endeavors and thoughts all through life?
A merchant calculates debit and credit at the end
of a week, month, year and draws up the balance sheet to arrive at one value —
his earnings. So too, in this business of life, everything ends leaving some
net positive, after all the give and take is accounted for. The experiences
that persist to the very last moment of life, the two or three that well up
into consciousness when one recalls all that has happened in life, these are
the genuine achievements. At the point of death, if one yearns to cater to the
tongue, it is proof that throughout life the tongue has been the master. Or if
a woman remembers her child and seeks to fondle it, the inner desire (संस्कार)
of child-love has been predominant all through life. It proves that all other
experiences have been thrown into oblivion. Therefore, direct the entire
current of life towards acquisition of the mental (संस्कार) that you want to
have during the last moment. Fix your attention upon it, day and night.
Avoid hating, envying or even disliking anyone.
Practice selfless love through acts of genuine service.

In Indian
philosophy and Indian religions, samskaras or sanskaras are mental impressions,
