here is a Telugu verse by Vemana
Medi pandu chooda melimaiyundu
Potta vippi chooda purugulundu
Pirikivani madibinkamilagura
Viswadhaabhirama vinura Vema..
English translation:
Medi, a fruit, looks gorgeous externally,
But when we rip it, we find worms within.
In a similar manner, a coward appears brave outside, but in reality he is not.
Beloved of the Bounteous, Vema, listen!
Medi is a fig
What encompases good : Truth, sincerity, honesty, innocence, kindness, purity, patience, straightforwardness, love, affection, care, passion, love, being compassionate and the list goes on...
What encompases Evil : Untruthfulness, deceit, hatred, dishonesty, emotional blackmail, emotionally and physically hurting others, blaming others for your mistakes, violence, cursing others...and the list goes on
Good: Goodness in a person.. in any form.. touches your heart... it is no doubt hard to follow, but that is what your heart and your conscience approves of,,,being good does good to you in the long run
Evil: Evil is tempting... if you choose to be evil.. you can get a lot more things lot more easily, it's tempting for the mind.. but does your heart approve it ..does your conscience approve it - No...being evil does bad for you in the long run
Why do we like gopi and not Rashi?
Why do we like Gopi-Ahem and not Rashi-Jigar?
Why do we like the pandavas in Mahabharat and why do we celebrate their win?
Why do we like Ram winning over Ravan in Ramayan?
the answer is simple, goodness touches your heart, evilness tempts your brain.. and there is a saying which says "follow your heart" heart will tell to be good, no heart or no conscience approves you to do bad...
Then why are people like Rashi and Urmi doing all the evil stuff? either they do not have conscience or their cerebrum (brain ) overwrites their myogenic muscular organ (heart)
Gopi Vs Rashi:
- Gopi is an epitome of goodness, but she is termed as being dumb and stupid.. so be it..because that is what her conscience approves of
- Rashi is an epitome of evilness.. but what is that makes one love rashi, ? her outward looks is more pleasing to the eyes than her evil nature..even if she is hell bent on hurting people physically and emotionally.. what makes one love her... as i said.. evil is tempting and pleasing.. people love her for her looks and forget about her innate evilness...
can Rashi, who is hurting others intentionally with selfish reason and evil to the core, be tagged as bubbly, chirpy, childish, smart... - May be yes...
because when gopi being good can be termed as stupid and dumb.. rashi being evil can also be termed as bubbly and chirpy...Am i being sarcastic - May be i am
Gopi-Ahem vs Rashi-Jigar:
- why do most of them love GoHem and not Rashi-Jigar,
because here again GoHem gives contentment and happiness to heart.. rashi and jigar are eye-candy.. they make ur eyes delighted and happy but does that touch your heart - No
A relation which is based on truth and honesty reaches your heart and the relation which is based on nothing but dishonesty and untruthfulness does not reach your heart and i can guarantee that with many more examples...
Conclusion:
Goodness pleases your heart and evilness pleases your mind...Goodness has God's approval.. and evilness has Demons approval
Measure goodness and evilness not on the outward appearance,..look at the intentions behind the pleasant face..
just like a (Fig ) Medi fruit.. behind rashi's pleasant face, her bubbly nature and her childish acts are her pure evil intentions
Be good and Do good all your life😊
P.S: i know it is more like saying something which is known to everyone universally , sorry for the long and known rant
