Isn’t there any difference in the violence, theft, injustice,
corruption, dishonestly, animosity, jealousy, hatred, etc.
exercised by the two ? We have acquired this Arya land,
religious family, good cultures and values because of our
abundant Punya. Then isn’t it wise to value this Punya ? The
Anaryas have only the happiness of this birth in their mind
while living their routine life because they do not believe in the
existence of the soul, rebirth, Punya, Papa, etc. On the other
hand, because of being brought up in this Arya culture we
believe in the existence of the soul, rebirth, Punya and Papa.
Hence, being an Arya we do not believe in lavishly enjoying
this birth and thus destroying the soul’s welfare in the next
birth.
An Arya in the true sense means a person who believes in the
existence of the soul and its transfer from one birth to another.
If we truly believe this, then would we act in a manner by
which our soul is thrown in the dungcons of hell or other
such painful births ? Such a behaviour suits an Anarya and
not an Arya.
The real intention of an Arya is to cultivate the virtues of
the soul and thus improve and glorify the next birth.
The one who does not believe in the soul’s existence and
only desires the body’s wellbeing will always pay attention
towards the body’s comfort. Sitaji was a true Arya and very
well understood the value of being an Arya. Hence it isn’t
surprising if she was well acquainted with the qualities of
spiritual welfare, maturity and the difference between the right
and wrong. But what is really surprising is that inspite of
claiming to believe in the soul’s existence, we still resort to
vices like injustice, low mentality and live a life full of bad
thoughts and bad actions.
