In chapter 16 of the Amazing Simple Gita, my Guru has added an important element for many virtues in the first 3 verses. One of pragmatism and practicality.
Some people try to conflate the virtues given with perpetual application. In every single situation.
The virtue list asks to tell the truth? Well tell the truth all the time then, even if it hurts someone, especially a dharmic person.
Here’s one:
Kshama: An automatic, effortless (non-reactive) forgiveness. No stupidity, Great Prithviraj Chawhan, forgave his enemy 7 times and got killed in the 8th battle. Never forgive durjanas.
Adhroha: Bearing no enmity, dislike to none. Yet applied depending on your duty. For instance border protector, soldier and police. Don’t wait to get killed by other’s tricks.
See the stuff in bold? How practical is that!
