Sage of Kanchi –

Pranams at the lotus feet of Sri Paramacharya !

Sri Paramacharya speaks about ‘Manushyadharmam’/duties and responsibilities of humans who perform various deeds in order to earn money and remove hunger, a headache can be removed with swallowing pill, but hunger does not stop with medicine, it keeps coming and going, this illness is one of its kinds same for all and it does not require medication other than food.   Therefore he is working for earning grains or money, he should constantly use his body for various deeds otherwise, it will become waste.    He is utilizing his body for various types of labor to earn grains or money, he works for the family, works for his dependents, and work for himself.  People who are at home has the responsibility to keep the house clean, the number of families constitute a village,  in this way it is the responsibility of  the people of a village to keep their village clean with basic amenities,  people of the village should be responsible like members of the families.  He has to perform duties for himself and others as well. He has to work for the family and for the society as well, work for the welfare of the society, building hospital, park, garden, digging well, etc..  Humans are born with certain responsibilities; he has to take care of himself as well as others too.  A child is taken care of by its parents during childhood when he grows into the young man he is taking care of his aged parents like the rich classes of the society have to contribute substantial money for the weaker sections of the society.  This method of living keeps continuing, this is applicable for animals too.  Humans’ need three types of necessities of life, firstly food for hunger, secondly clothing for covering nudity, and finally shelter place to relax.   He has to work to remove his illness like hunger, he should adopt simplicity in every walk of life, he should not chase for a sumptuous meal, and a person should not be a glutton, he should eat for a living.  Human has to do some more responsible work other than earning and eating.
