UTTAM MAARDAV DHARAM

Uttam Mardava Dharama ( PERFECT PRIDELESSNESS)==till such time pride exists, Mardava Dharama can not manifest.the desires to have name and fame make us hard. and that destroyed the softness of our nature.only those,who have the feelings of renunciation from the mundane pleasure and have kindness/compassion towards all living beings , can cross the world.
pride of knowledge is of no use. the purpose of aquiring knowledge is to reduce /give up pride or arrogance. but at present,if one  is hurt  in one's pride, the matter is taken to the court.manifestation of Maardav dharama occurs when pride is given up.when desire for recognition is not met,there is creation of anger.in absence of gentleness , even a small thing hurts and ego develops.when ego is developed , the fire of anger gets activated with in a moment.

Dashlakshan Day 2 :Uttam Maardav
10 sept 2013

This day celebrates UttamMaardav meaning Supreme Tenderness/Humility.

Shloka :

मान महा विष रूप, करहि नीचगति जगत में ।
कोमल सुधा अनूप, सुख पावै प्रानी सदा ॥
उत्तम मार्दव गुन मन माना, मान करन को कौन ठिकाना ।
बस्यो निगोद माहिं तैं आया, दमरी रूंकन भाग बिकाया ॥
रूंकन बिकाया भाग वशतै, देव इक इन्द्री भया ।
उत्तम मुआ चान्डाल हूवा, भूप कीडों में गया ॥
जीतव्य जोवन धन गुमान, कहा करै जल-बुदबुदा ।
करि विनय बहु-गुन बडे जन की, ग्यान का पावै उदा ॥

Meaning:

Proud is like venom that causes us to fall. And the nectar of humility/tenderness is incomparable. A person with this quality always gain happiness. We should try to achieve Supreme tenderness because a person who is proud has no future. And what is he proud of ?Of going to the worst place in this world (Hell)? Or of getting sold in dimes (cheap price) when it was a plant ?Or of going to the “One sense state” from the Heaven. We should always be modest as even a king with proud becomes aं small insect. All this money, property, youth etc are like a bubble of water, which are temporary and can burst anytime. If we respect our elders and the people who are knowledgeable, we will also be able to gain the true knowledge.
