“The season is warm
And that’s the charm
But the heat makes you drool!
Can’t wait for it to be cool!”
If you think they are mere stories then you are mistaken; great Poems like Ramayan and Mahabharat are called Ithihasa or History. In one of the versions of Ramayan called the Ram Charit manas, Goswamy Tulsidas had told who should never be your enemy!
It holds true to this day!
read on!
At first when Shoorpanaka urged Ravan to take on Ram, he went to seek advice from his uncle called Marich. Now in an earlier encounter with Ram, Marich had already understood the strength of Ram.
So as a wise counsel who had to deliver a bad news or give proper advice; He told Ravan that he must not try to get in between the fight and leave Ram and Sita alone!
For this Ravan, became very angry and heated!
This is when Tulsidas in the mind of Marich tells the nine kinds of people you must never make an enemy of! Effectively means that these are the people to whom you must always be courteous and kind! Enmity with them is never going to end well for you!
The nine people are; an armed man, a confidant, a powerful master, a dunce, a wealthy person, a bard, a poet and a cook! And finally a Physician!
The above list is not exhaustive but it does make a great cause!
Most of the people in the list are self explanatory like an armed man or woman for that matter!, a confidant who can leak your secrets is always a sensitive spot and a powerful master or a wealthy person are one whom you should not have any tiff with!
A poet or a bard and in the modern times a writer especially one who writes Blogs everyday is also not a person whom yous should have enmity with since they can write stories or blogs or a poem about it and make you infamous!
A dunce or a stupid person is someone who is dangerous is he or she is your enemy! He or she may even harm himself or herself if it means that you can be harmed! As the old saying goes, you must not try to teach those who cannot be taught!
Finally you must not be an enemy of your physician! He or she usually knows your conditions and is always there to help you so why would you try to irritate him or her! Of course if you are getting additional tests and medications then it may have already happened!
The list in modern times includes so many people who are a combination of the above! A wealthy stupid dude or a rich confidant or a powerful armed person or people! There are times in a normal middle class person is simply avoiding any enemies! He or she is just trying to stay in the middle and doing his or her job! He or she neither has the time or energy to have any enemies!
The one person I never argue or have a tiff with is the cook and/or the waiter! I really do not want anything more in my food! If you are not convinced then watch the movie road trip! Then after that you can watch the movie Mohra! I never liked the buffed up muscular brain Suneil Shetty but over the years he is ok! The birthday celebrity of today.
Sketch done in good time and comfort and it shows!
Now do have sleep as your friend and you will be ok!
Shubh ratri!
