ek samay ki bat hai ki indr, brahman ka roop dharan karake danashoor karn ke pas kavach aur kundal maangane ae. karn in kavach–kundaloan ko pahane hue hi janma tha. jab soory ne jana ki indr kavach–kundal maangane ja raha hai, tab usane pahale hi se karn ko soochana de di thi ki tum apane kavach–kundal kisi ko dan mat dena. yah soochana dete samay soory ne karn se kaha ki 'isamean sandeh nahian hai ki too b da dani hai, parantu yadi too apane kavach–kundal dan mean de dega to tere jivan hi ki hani ho jaegi. isalie too inhean kisi ko n dena. mar jane par kirti ka kya upayog hai?– mritasy kirtya kian karyamh. yah sunakar karn ne spasht uttar diya ki jivitenapi me rakshya kirtistadviddhi me vratamh– arthat; jan chali jae to bhi kuchh paravah nahian. parantu apani kirti ki raksha karana hi mera vrat hai.[1] saraansh yah hai ki 'yadi mar jaega to svarg ki prapti hogi aur jit jaega to prithvi ka rajy milega' ityadi kshatr–dharm[2] aur 'svadharme nidhanan shreyah'[3] yah siddhaant ukt tattv par hi avalanbit hai. isi tattv ke anusar shri samarth ramadas svami kahate haian 'kirti ki or dekhane se sukh nahian hai aur sukh ki or dekhane se kirti nahian milati[4]; aur ve upadesh bhi karate haian ki 'he sajjan man! aisa kam karo jisase marane par kirti bani rahe.'
yahaan prashn ho sakata hai ki yadyapi paropakar se kirti hoti hai tathapi mrityu ke bad kirti ka kya upayog hai? athava kisi sabhy manushy ko apakirti ki apeksha mar jana[5]; ya zianda rahane se paropakar karana adhik priy kyoan hona chahie? is prashn ka uchit uttar dene ke lie atm–anatm vichar mean pravesh karana hoga. aur isi ke sath karm–akarm shastr ka bhi vichar karake yah jan lena hoga ki kis mauke par jan dene ke lie taiyar hona uchit ya anuchit hai. yadi is bat ka vichar nahian kiya jaega to jan dene se yash ki prapti to door hi rahi, parantu moorkhata se atmahatya karane ka pap matthe chadh jaega.
mata, pita, guru adi vandaniy aur poojaniy purushoan ki pooja tatha shushrusha karana bhi sarvamany dharmoan mean se ek pradhan dharm samajha jata hai. yadi aisa n ho to kutuanb, gurukul aur sare samaj ki vyavastha thik–thik kabhi rah n sakegi. yahi karan hai ki sirf smriti–granthoan hi mean nahian, kiantu upanishadoan mean bhi 'satyan vad, dharm char’' kaha gaya hai. aur jab shishy ka adhyayan poora ho jata aur vah apane ghar jane lagata, tab pratyek guru ka yahi guru ka yahi upadesh hota tha ki 'matri devo bhav pitri devo bhav,achary devo bhav'.[6] mahabharat ke brahman–vyadh akhyan ka tatpary bhi yahi hai.[7] parantu is dharm mean bhi kabhi–kabhi akalpit badha kh di ho jati hai.
