WHAT IS DUTY? 01 

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA 

It is fundamental in the investigation of Karma-Yoga to comprehend what obligation is. In the event that I need to accomplish something I should initially realize that it is my obligation, and afterward I can do it. The possibility of obligation again is distinctive in various countries. The Mohammedan says what is composed in his book, the Koran, is his obligation; the Hindu says what is in the Vedas is his obligation; and the Christian says what is in the Bible is his obligation. We find that there are fluctuated thoughts of obligation, contrasting as per distinctive states throughout everyday life, diverse authentic periods and distinctive countries. The expression "obligation", like each other all inclusive theoretical term, is outlandish plainly to characterize; we can just get a thought of it by knowing its viable activities and results. At the point when certain things happen before us, we have each of the a characteristic or prepared drive to act in a specific way towards them; when this motivation comes, the mind starts to consider the circumstance. At times it believes that it regards act in a specific way under the given conditions; at different occasions it conceives that it isn't right to act in a similar way even in the simple same conditions. The customary thought of obligation wherever is that each great man takes after the directs of his inner voice. In any case, would could it be that makes a demonstration an obligation? On the off chance that a Christian finds a bit of meat before him and does not eat it to spare his very own life, or won't offer it to spare the life of another man, he is certain to feel that he has not done his obligation. Yet, on the off chance that a Hindu sets out to eat that bit of meat or to offer it to another Hindu, he is similarly certain to feel that he too has not done his

obligation; the Hindu's preparation and training make him feel that way. In the most recent century there were famous groups of criminals in India called hooligans; they thought it their obligation to slaughter any man they could and take away his cash; the bigger the quantity of men they executed, the better they thought they were. Usually if a man goes out into the road and shoots down another man, he is well-suited to feel frustrated about it, believing that he has fouled up. In any case, if the simple same man, as a trooper in his regiment, murders not one but rather twenty, he is sure to feel happy and imagine that he has done his obligation surprisingly well. Along these lines we see that it isn't the thing done that characterizes an obligation. To give a target meaning of obligation is subsequently altogether outlandish. However there is obligation from the emotional side. Any activity that influences us to go Godward is a decent activity, and is our obligation; any activity that influences us to go descending is malicious, and isn't our obligation. From the abstract outlook we may see that specific demonstrations tend to lift up and honor us, while certain different demonstrations tend to corrupt and to brutalize us. In any case, it isn't conceivable to make out with assurance which acts have which sort of propensity in connection to all people, of assorted types and conditions. There is, be that as it may, just a single thought of obligation which has been all around acknowledged by all humankind, all things considered and orders and nations, and that has been summed up in a Sanskrit truism along these lines: "Don't harm any being; not harming any being is righteousness, harming any being is sin."(to be proceeded)
