10. Proper - Improper Attitude
With an analytical vision, a person should give importance to a thing as per its benefits. The form of Parmatma is the most beneficial than everything else. Therefore, He should be given the utmost importance and special humble efforts should be made to achieve Him. This is called perfect attitude.
To establish proper relationship with Parmatma, it is essential for us to perform, the duties entrusted by Him for us, faithfully and to quit other misdeeds rationally.
The person, who leaves aside ethics as well as justice, gets driven away from humanity too. Our super most welfare is desired only by Parmatma and His Muktas. To disobey their words or to violate the laws laid by them is injustice, sinful and improper attitude.
Proper humble attitude with Parmatma the Supreme Lord as well as His realized saints is the only perfect and resolved remedy for a human being to fulfil his ultimate aim. Success due to proper humble behaviour and failure due to improper attitude is definitely achieved. It is very useful as well as necessary for a worshipper to establish relations with Parmatma, like master-disciple, to be worshipped -worshipper and father-son.
A worshipper can know, by means of self observation, what type of and how much relation -as told before exists with Parmatma. If the worshipper fails in maintaining such relationship with Parmatma, then his attitude with Him is improper.
When a worshipper gets reputation - respect on acquiring good qualities while doing worship, meditation, devotion etc. of God and when he considers himself to be more important than God and saints then it is an improper attitude towards God. As a result of this, God is not achieved.
When a worshipper listens to or does not protest a person who out of ignorance or rancour, insults, slanders, abuses God and His saints then this also is considered as improper attitude with God and saint. The path of achievement of God becomes difficult for such weak and coward worshipper.
The actions not preferred by God and His saints may be perhaps proper from worldly point of view. Even then to perform such deeds is an improper attitude. Hence, only such deeds should be done in which God as well as Mukta Purush are pleased.
The worshipper, who is trying to get united with God, will always behave in a proper way with the worldly relations also because due to the grace of God, truthfulness, transparency and politeness garnishes the words and deeds of the worshipper.
