Vithura Needhi is from the Udyoga Parvadham of Mahabharatham. King Dhirudrarastra who was in a state of restlessness and sleeplessness seeks advice from Vithura.
For the last week or so I had the opportunity to read and hear about Vithura Needhi.
It describes the qualities of a wise man. First and foremost thing I learnt is that ' advice only if requested'. In every day's life I do get sidetracked with what may be good for my dear and near ones that I do occasionally advice people. From today, I will remind myself and refrain myself from doing it.
Secondly, as one is detached from something he will not be affected from its drawbacks. It is very true and the minute I see a drawback in something I know I am attached to that object. I bought something, but later found that it was damaged. I did not even bother about it and left it aside. Basically if I were attached to that object I would have returned the item for a new one.
The same applies to human relations. The more detached I am with a person, the less I will be affected by their behaviours be it good or bad. If I am detached to everything then Nothing will affect me.
I hope I will complete Vithuta Needhi and gain more insight into the qualities of wise men.
