HUMAN VALUES

DO YOU KNOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES IN LIFE?

It is very important for you to know your responsibilities in life.

If you are conscious of this element it means you are following the manual of life, which also forms part of spirituality.

You must be very strict in life and you must never shirk your responsibilities.

You must never pass on your responsibilities to others.

And when you take a responsibility you must stick to it till the end.

This also applies to the vows that you have taken in life.

If you have taken a responsibility to live with someone, when you must live with it.

You must not suddenly decide that you like someone else and that you want to make your life with that person.

You have many important responsibilities in life.

But there are no responsibilities that are less important than others.

Your first responsibility is towards yourself.

You must keep yourself in good physical and mental condition.

You must have a clear and tranquil brain.

You must look after your tidiness and after your looks.

You must also choose well your words and your tone when you speak.

These must not cause any ill feeling in others.

Through your words you can make others suffer.

You can offend someone by reproaching him, by telling him that you have given food to him or that you had helped him when he was in need.

You would be responsible if someone puts an end to his life because of the words you said.

So you have a responsibility to watch your words.

These are your first responsibilities.

You must then look after your immediate environment which should be clean and tidy.

Then come your education, your credibility, your dignity and your obedience.

Your humility is also one of your responsibilities.

All these qualities are your responsibilities.

These will help you to live according to spirituality.

You also have a responsibility to save the planet.

Don’t expect others to protect the environment when you are polluting it.

If there are calamities today, it means that you may partly responsible.

Animals also have a right to live.

You must not destroy them to please your palate.

Your responsibility is to cultivate and not to destroy.

Your responsibility is to protect all living things.

Finally you have a responsibility in life as a child, as a parent, as a grandparent, as a wife or as a husband.

You must take all your responsibilities to the letter, without shirking them, or putting them on the shoulders of others.

If you know all your responsibilities and assume them, you will then be living a spiritual life.
