The Wish-fulfilling Paradise

In Hindu, Jain and Buddhist mythology, paradise or Swarga, is described as a place where the wish-fulfilling tree, Kalpataru, grows; where the wish-fulfilling cow, Kamadhenu, lives; and where Chintamani, the wish-fulfilling jewel, is found. In other words, it is a place of infinite plant, animal and mineral resources, where all needs and wants and dreams are satisfied.

The residents of Swarga are the Devas; Indra is their king. These Devas are invoked in the Rig Veda through hymns of flattery. This is done with the hope that they will share some of their vast fortune with humans. But the Devas are not worshipped in a single Hindu temple. There is no temple to Indra. Why? It's clear that possessing this wish-fulfilling tree or cow or jewel does not make you a God worthy of worship.

भगवद्गीता से सीख: असली जीवन ही श्रेष्ठ है।

हमारी देश की संस्कृति में अनेक गुणों का, जीवन मूल्यों का वर्णन किया गया है जिनसे हम एक अच्छा, सच्चा और कुशल जीवन व्यतीत कर सकते हैं। इनका पालन करने के अनेक मार्ग भी हमारे सामने रखे गए हैं। और कई लोग ऐसे होते भी हैं जो पूरे मन से इन मूल्यों को मानते हैं। लेकिन कुछ लोग ऐसे भी होते हैं जो इन मूल्यों को दिल से मानने की जगह बस मानने का दिखावा कर रहे होते हैं। आइए देखते हैं कि ऐसे दिखावटी व्यवहार के बारे में श्रीकृष्ण क्या कहते हैं।
