Altruism is a term used to describe a selfless concern for the well-being
of others. It involves actions or behaviors that are motivated by a desire
to benefit others, even at one's own expense. Altruistic individuals
prioritize the needs and interests of others, often without expecting
anything in return.Altruism can manifest in various forms, ranging from
simple acts of kindness and generosity to more significant sacrifices for
the greater good of society. Examples of altruistic behaviors include
helping someone in need, volunteering time or resources for charitable
causes, and engaging in philanthropic activities.The concept of altruism
has been studied extensively in fields such as psychology, sociology, and
evolutionary biology. Researchers seek to understand the underlying
motivations and mechanisms that drive altruistic behavior, as well as its
implications for human society and cooperation.While some theories suggest
that altruism may be rooted in evolutionary instincts, such as kin
selection or reciprocal altruism, others emphasize the role of social
norms, empathy, and moral values in shaping altruistic actions. Regardless
of its origins, altruism plays a fundamental role in fostering compassion,
cooperation, and social cohesion within communities.
If one were to reach altruism status, then unless fate or karma strikes
him, cannot recede back. And that status is
ॐ सह नाववतु ।सह नौ भुनक्तु ।सह वीर्यं करवावहै ।तेजस्वि नावधीतमस्तु मा
विद्विषावहै ।ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ॥
Om Saha Nau-Avatu |Saha Nau Bhunaktu |Saha Viiryam Karavaavahai |Tejasvi
Nau-Adhiitam-Astu Maa Vidvissaavahai |
Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih ||
Aum! May He protect us both together; may He nourish us both together;May
we work conjointly with great energy,
May our study be vigorous and effective;May we not mutually dispute (or may
we not hate any).Aum! Let there be peace in me!Let there be peace in my
environment!Let there be peace in the forces that act on me!
One cares for the other.
The mantra “Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu” holds a profound and
significance in the ancient Indian culture. It is derived from Sanskrit,
and the mantra has been passed down through generations, preserved in
ancient Indian texts and scriptures. Within the Vedas, the mantra is found
in the Shukla Yajurveda, and in The Taittiriya Samhita is a part of the
Krishna Yajurveda and consists of various sections known as kandas. The
mantra appears in the tenth kanda, also known as the Maha Narayana
Upanishad. Besides the Vedas, the mantra can also be found in other ancient
Indian scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras of
Patanjali. It became a part of the broader spiritual heritage, linking
different communities in their pursuit of peace, harmony, and well-being.By
chanting and practicing this mantra, individuals seek to connect with their
inner selves and contribute to the betterment of the world.It serves as a
reminder to extend kindness and goodwill to others, promoting unity and
equality in society.Compassion is a fundamental aspect of the philosophy
behind the Sanskrit phrase “Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu.” It encourages
individuals to cultivate a deep sense of empathy and understanding towards
all living beings. Selflessness and altruism are key values associated with
the of “Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu.” The mantra encourages individuals
to transcend their own self-interests and act with a genuine concern for
the welfare of others. It calls for a shift in perspective, urging
individuals to prioritize the needs of others and work towards the
betterment of society as a whole.Peace, in this context, refers not only to
the absence of conflict but also to a state of inner tranquility and
contentment. It encourages individuals to cultivate a peaceful mindset,
free from negative emotions such as anger, hatred, and resentment. By
nurturing inner peace, individuals can radiate positivity and contribute to
a harmonious environment around them.Furthermore, the mantra promotes the
idea that peace is not limited to individual experiences but extends to the
collective.
When we chant this mantra, we are reminded of our interconnectedness
with every living being on this planet. It encourages us to transcend
boundaries of race, religion, and nationality and recognize that we are all
part of a larger whole. By promoting unity, the mantra emphasizes the idea
that we are stronger when we come By fostering empathy, the mantra helps us
develop a greater sense of connection with others.
The concept of universal well-being and harmony is not limited to just
mantras. It transcends religious boundaries and can be found in various
world religions. For example, in Christianity, the teachings of Jesus
Christ emphasize love, compassion, and the well-being of all individuals.
The commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself” reflects the universal
theme of treating others with kindness and empathy.Similarly, in Judaism,
the principle of “Tikkun Olam” calls for repairing the world and pursuing
justice and righteousness. This concept encompasses the idea of making
positive changes in society and working towards the well-being of all
people, regardless of their background or beliefs. In Buddhism, the concept
of “Metta,” or loving-kindness, is central to the teachings. Practicing
Metta involves cultivating a sense of benevolence and goodwill towards all
living beings. This universal theme aligns with the intention behind “Lokah
Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu” to promote compassion and the well-being of all.
Karma means “action.” It covers all actions-thought, word, and deed. The
law of karma says that for every action there is a reaction. Albert
Einstein was reminding us of the law of karma when he pointed out that
space is curved. Whatever is thrown out there will eventually, but
inevitably, find its way back to its origin. So we should be careful about
what we choose to think, say or do, because we will be revisited by our
actions in due time. This may be a difficult idea for some of us to grasp,
as we have been so thoroughly conditioned by our culture of slavery,
violence and denial. We have been told over and over again that we don’t
have to take responsibility for our actions, and that our individual
actions don’t matter much to the whole-much less to ourselves. In the
United States there is a common refrain when one’s actions are challenged
or questioned: “It’s a free country!” Legally free, yes, but where are our
actions taking us? Our actions are in fact probably the most important and
defining aspect of how our future world will be shaped.
