पूर्वजन्मकृतं कर्म तद् दैवमिति कथ्यते ।
तस्मात् पुरुषकारेण यत्नं कुर्यादतन्द्रितः ॥
This is a verse from the sanskrit treasure of Subhashitani that is more appropriate in these days of a faulty education system driving the loose socio-economic upheaval. The population explosion with insufficient supply of jobs against free market economy which implores to supply of cash, has a cascading effect on the hopelessness and despair on the mind of the youth who want only white collar jobs. The young man of the present time is a worried one. With a degree at hand, which is acquired at market place as a commodity, not through hard study and knowledge, he is disheartened and forced to break down. Let's see the beauty of the verse.
The childhood is the time to learn through hard study, training and disciplined life. Our time does not allow him to move in a proper way.
1. Our education system is mark oriented. End justifies the means here.
2. Intension is not to acquire knowledge and expertise through discipline, austerity, hard work, practice. Purpose now is to get a certificate with top percentage and make a bee line for job.
3. Political manoeuvre like reservation and pass without examination has degraded the value of the certificates thus obtained.
4. Jobs, as a result, have been in a low supply as a policy by Government which is the main supplier. And the certificate holders are fit for nothing else.
As such, the youth of the present time is a disgusted lot suffering from worries, tension, difficulties and hopelessness. It forces him to be misguided and indulge in violence, high BP, unsocial activities.
More and more young men are giving up hope and loosing faith in the social discipline and are joining groups against established norms.
The main complaint is, they say, inspite of hard work, they don't get their desired effect. Their labour is not productive. They are suffering for what they have not done. This verse explains this angle. The karma for previous life is carried on in this too and is called "daiva" (fate). Hence one should never give up his efforts and work harder. We suffer for something we have not done is not a justified argument. We have to undergo the effect of what we had done in our earlier birth and the result was not enjoyed spilling over to this birth. We must be careful to work on the right path so that we may accrue good results.
Friends, I was a little excess in explaining things. Please bear with it.
