Dr. Jai Narayan Vyas Man makes various efforts to progress, increase his activity, get comfort. Sometimes there is success and sometimes there are challenges. Often times, the solution to the world's biggest problems is lighter than a blade of grass. A small story disproves the fact that you can acquire knowledge and become a scholar only because you study in colleges or in big research laboratories. It is about two goats. A baby goat crossed a narrow bridge to graze on green grass. A few times passed and the goat did not see her kid, so she said. The baby goat understood Ma's words. He made his way across the narrow bridge to the other side. Meanwhile it happened that a goat came across the bridge from the opposite end. The bridge was not that wide. There was a situation where only one animal could go at a time. These two dumb animals stood facing each other. Look at each other. It was a moment of crisis. The minds of these dumb animals must be in terrible turmoil. Suddenly, as if what had happened, the big goat sat down and in the sixth quarter of an hour the kid jumped up to my own mother. The question is solved. Often small things trip up a great scholar and then when the solution is found he thinks, I didn't think of that. Life has its questions, none of them are no. It is true that everyone faces different questions. Often times the environment is hostile, we have to keep one small thing in mind when we have to swim against it. The first rule of question solving is that every question is born with its twin brother, the answer. No question arises alone. Second, there is some precedent for solving this question. You have faced the question for the first time, but everything that has happened so far has a direct solution. Life is an 'open book exam'. Third, what if we even bother to use our brains? If a little bit of common sense is used, the answers to those questions can be found, not only that, but there is a way out of the disaster. Vaniya's com is said to be intelligent. Mother used to say, 'Vanio was in front and Brahm was behind.' In my experience this is true to a large extent. A Brahmin is also an intelligent com. Studying the Vedas, studying justice and grammar, having the ability to give advice. From Sir Prabhashankar Patni Saheb to Vishwasaraiya and S2 Madhavrao, many other efficient administrators were Brahmins. But when it comes to thinking for itself, it spins very thin. As a result, the mold of 'Dirghasutri Vinshyati' will be formed. Vanio Shighrabudi against this. It is said that he can see the future and that is why he can venture into business with a fair calculation. Ramanlal Soni has a poem 'Ek Idar Vanio' which is summarized as follows. An eider went out to do business. There is a forest on the way. Hoofed robbers in the jungle are ready to rob any such lone traveller. Dusk had passed. The robbers intercepted Vaniya. Vania had special goods. In a moment he took a decision. He had a bag on his shoulder. There were scales (weighing spoons) along with the goods in that bag. There were four robbers in front. Without even thinking, Vania grabbed her sack tightly and started to wring it vigorously. Anyone who comes near, the teeth start beating. Whoever hits it gets doubled. Vanio now came into color. He said to those thieves, 'Tell the dust to the thief: I am not alone, I took one, twelve people, take care.' Those thieves thought, if one is so strong, what will happen to us if twelve people get together? And the thief ran away with a vertical tail. Vanio Hemkhem reached home, Jami-Parwari told this to the children. 'This story of dust, asks all children, who twelve were you? Now count the name, the dust says: these two hands, two eyes, two feet, four bags of bones, it is ten if found! The last two true companions – courage and faith, without those two, all others are special in the impossible!' There is a saying that wisdom does not belong to one's father. It is said in Sanskrit: Budhiryasya balantasya nirbuddheshcha kutobalam, meaning he who has the power of intelligence is truly strong.
