Mumbai : terrorist attacks

Here is an incident which demands us to ponder over certain points....

India is the country whose Father of Nation , Mahatma Gandhi said," Hate the sin and not the sinner.." but today none so fool in India who would give it a second thought before saying that the killing of terrorists by armed forces was a right action.....................
What makes them think so? Is it lack of spiritual knowledge or lack of tolerence?

OR is it right to think so .......Yes our scriptures do say that we must know that enlightened as well as ignorant go according to their nature (satoguN ,rajoguN &tamoguN ) we should remain non judgemental....& hating sin means avoiding it by abstaining from doing anything that might hurt others ...we must do to others what we want them to do to us....
But the very same scriptures demand us to perform our duties(kartaVyam kuru karmaNi)...& to be engaged in welfare of all(sarvabhoothiterataah)...here it is noteworthy that Lord Ram himself killed many Rakshsas (monsters) in fact he was born with the divine plan to kill them & to establish Peace....Also Lord KrishNa killed Kansa ,and persuaded Arjuna (who was quite reluctant to fight against & shed blood of his own kinsmen) to pick up weapons and fight (yuddhasva Partha) as it was for general good of the people to kill them & free the land from evil spirits .....hence we can say that being good for all killing the terrorists was right action....
and the "Hate the sin and not the sinner holds "good for the development of self and only as long as sin does not threaten others ...whereas in this case the chief motive behind the act of terrorists was to terrorise general public, they were all devils & monsters.....so each & every javaan performed his prescribed duty and we saw so many Arjunas fighting at the command of the Supreme Lord and freeing the area from terrorists in order to re-establish peace & to uphold the religion of Humanity.....

Lets Salute these brave warriors ,our true heroes.....
Also take few moments to shed a tear or two for those who laid down their lives for this noble cause.........

Shrimad Bhagawat Gita : Chapter 17 ,Verse 15

Anudwegakar vAkyam satyam priyahitam ch yat.
SwadhyAyAbhyasanam chaiv vangmayam tap uchyate.
Translation : -
The speech that is truthful, pleasing, beneficial and does not agitate anyone and also reading and reciting sacred text from scriptures are called Austerity of speech.

Purport :-
In this verse describing the austerity of speech the supreme Lord says that one's speech should be such that it does not arouse in anyone at any time any agitation or disturbance; which is true and is told without vanity or selfishness to others to make them understand; which is loving, sweet, simple and peaceful; which displays the qualities of love, kindness, forbearance and benevolence and which is not meant to harm any one at any time.
As is said Man should speak true and pleasing words. He should utter words which are true but not unpleasant; and which are pleasant but not untrue. This is SaAtan Dharma (Eternal Religion).
The Guru tells a story in this connection- Once a sage saw a cow rushing madly near his Ashram. A man also came running after the cow. Seeing the sage he asked him if he had seen the cow. The sage understood in one glance that he was a butcher and if he told him in which direction the cow had gone he would surely kill her. But he could not utter a lie. so he said "One who saw (the eye saw) can not speak, and the one who can speak (the tongne can speak), did not see.The butcher got confused and walked away... Thus in spite of telling the truth he saved the cow.
Now, on examining we shall find that it is possible to speak such words only if man's heart is free from violence, jealousy, hatred or enmity and he is averse to talking ill about others or insulting other. such a person is always full of divine love for all.
Besides, studying and teaching scriptures, Vedas, Upnishadas, BhAgwat, MahAbhArat etc. for spiritnal development of self and others is called svAdhyAya or self-study -A practice for development of self.
Reciting and repeating such text over and over again, to memorise it; chanting the holy name and praying to God again and again is called abhyas or 'practise'.
Practising all these and exercising restrain in speech (ie neither speaking nor reading anything nonsense) is called penance (Tapah) of speech.
