THE ZEROED DOWN 'DUTY OF MINE!'

'na karmanam anarambhan naiskarmyam puruso snute

na ca sannyasanad eva siddhim samadhigacchati!'

..Srimad Bhagavad Gita 

'A person can never achieve freedom from reactions to activities without first performing the Vedic duties prescribed; neither perfection would be attained by renouncing them as well!' 

'Do your duty' 

is the oft taught Precept in life. And equally the most important aspect of this Precept is knowing well that duty.. 

The 3 golden ways of assessing this duty of mine to a reasonable level with an ever open mind to modify the same for betterment of me as well the world are 

Thru' the oft emphasized guidelines given by my religion, tradition, customs, culture and the law of the land.. 

Thru' what the people around me feel I should do in the situation..

And 

Thru' what my inner consciousness feels as the Right in that context.. 

As long as there is no conflict between these 3, 

my basic duty 

forever lies in accepting the 3 guidelines as they are and following them a 100%! 

But when a conflict surfaces, I should never hurry up here but pause, study carefully the whole effect of doing a particular activity and then only go ahead with my doing there 

my safety and peace of mind 

reasonably ensured! 

All along, I should again remember that 

I myself is never a static personality in the situation being subjected to cognizable changes within me with the passage of time, 

Equally me changing drastically too when a threat situation of serious nature prevails 

And

Once in a way but very rarely certain change of my personality coming up in me instantaneously without no going back on that! 

When I take such a well-knit Care with me, naturally I can say that I've well planned in my life with my own adjustment in a trifling situation! 

And when I go ahead thus along with a firm faith in my doing, 

The Almighty 

Sure steers my sails for my betterment in this life.. 

No doubt.. Herein, I have done the best in my life respecting every element of Mother Nature around me all along never neglecting an inch of care from me! 

Seen thus, the 

Traditional Austerities, Rituals and Practices 

involved in my day to day life invariably amount to performing this single activity with all due care in my life Viz.; 

The Title of the Post! 

The best thing that happened to me in the post-truth world is becoming me aware of more of the my basic duty described above and sticking to it as much

for the good of me as well as for the good of others

with the

Caring of me stressed upon to core

and

Caring of others equally

upheld..
