Today, we are going to discuss an important topic that how do lokamangal and atmamangal happen? Atmamngal can be accommodated in lokamangal. Is more effort made for atmamangal? Let’s understand the meaning of lokamangal. The earth, air, sky, atmosphere, sun, moon, constellation, river, forest, mountains, rains and sea are collectively known as ‘lok’ and its welfare is known as ‘lokamangal’.
The human being is an important unit of these ingredients of lok. All these ingredients have their own importance. For example, the environment wants to be healthy but we have to find the reasons for it. Similarly, how can the aquatic animals be safeguarded? We should ponder over maintaining greenery in the world. Sri Swami Ramdev Jee Maharaj and Sri Acharya Balkrishna Jee have dedicated their life for ayurveda and herbals.

The human being should protect aquatic animals. They should not kill wild animals for their livelihood. The human beings should be responsible for safety of entire universe. The ignorance of human beings destroys the universe.

If the human beings don’t involve in the cycle, there will be no disturbance in the universe. The misdeed and the ignorance of human beings is the cause of imbalance in the universe. Around 50 years ago vulture used to clean the atmosphere by eating died animals. Now the number of vulture has reduced. The medicines containing salt is used in the animals. It makes adverse effect on the vulture. The river water got polluted. It makes adverse effect on the aquatic animals. The present lifestyle polluted the atmosphere. Yagya was conducted to clean atmosphere. We should focus on agriculture and cow farming. We should impart proper education to the children. Those who are neglected get deviated from their path.

We want to find the ways for lokamangal. We have seen that the human being is the cause of all the problems. The human beings are facing ignorance, lack of resources, lack of mutual harmony, problem unhealthy and lack of true education. Nobody can solve all the problems. The people working for welfare of the universe must contribute in this yagya.

It seems that first step of lokamangal is the harmony of lokamangal. The people must be aware of it. They should make contribution as farmer, teacher, painter, writer, shopkeeper, doctor, police, driver and banker. It means that everybody has unique quality.

In this series, somebody loses interest in the worldly life. But at the same time, he/she is also playing a pivotal role in the lokamangal.

Those who are serving with material are also plying role in maintaining materialistic existence. For example, if the farmers don’t engage in farming and the industrialists don’t produce required articles, we will face problems in the life. Police and military also serve the people by maintaining law and  order. The labourers are also essential. We can’t construct houses without labourers. It will make adverse affect on the greenery. We can see that the labourers play important role in the world. The fourth type of people is those who do brainstorm like painter, writer, poet, storyteller, teacher, professor and preacher. The scientist and philosopher conduct research. Einstein, Stephen Hokins played tremendous role in the world. But the question arises that what is the role of saints in lokamangal?

See! Those who lead a peaceful life create similar atmosphere because themselves. Estranged people are playing the role of teacher. Their effect can be imagined easily. The great personalities define that teacher works on disciple with three types- teaching, visionary and effect. Some teacher orders the student ‘to do’ or ‘not to do’.  Second type of teacher teaches the student how to be peaceful. They give example to their students. The third type of teacher transforms the student through their effect. The students should be receptive to grasp the knowledge. Vision is more important than teaching. Effect is more important than vision. We should understand that the teacher or estrange saint assumes more spiritual power. The sun shines in the sky but somebody shuts the window.

Sri Arbind writes- the effect is more important than vision. The effect meant the teacher doesn’t possess the student but the power of his presence. The main characteristic of the teacher is to pour in divine light, power, purity and bliss in the students.

Similarly, the role of such estrange saints can’t be devaluated for lokamangal. You can say that such type of student is rarely found. This world is a big market. The crowd is seen at grocery shop, very few customers visit jewellery shop. Similarly, dance programme has large crowd, while spiritual persons have very few followers around them. Novel has the highest number of readers, while veda has less number readers. It means that if the estrange saint helps even a single person, it will fulfil the aim of lokamangal. The seekers search for an authentic personality.

It can be said that the means of lokamangal is material, word, thought and thoughtless. Acharya Vinoba Jee has said that ‘the people generally give importance to the duty. But at the same time, the word is powerful than duty. Thought is more important than word. The thoughtless is more important than thought.

The cruelty is more dangerous than physical violence. It’s said that physical wound is filled but wound of word is not filled. Similarly, cruel thought is dangerous. A person can think about welfare of the world. He  can attain moksha. The estrange persons also play instrumental role bringing lokamangal in the world as they remain in thoughtless position.

It’s worth mentioning that those who remain in thoughtless position can never indulge in cruelty. Prayers are mentioned in veda—

Tanme manah shivasadkalpamastu (Yajurveda—34.1), manasah kamamakuti vachah satyamashiya (Yajurveda—39.4 )

I wish for Shiva dedication, encouragement, truth of speech. If someone wishes for good thought, it will bring lokamangal in the world. The being innocent is the first step of good thought. They wish for prosperity of all. One saint prays for no bad for anyone. I have no right to consider anyone bad.
