Note – when we read Manu’s advice to Dhruva, we get surprised to see its relevance in today’s social and political atmosphere.  We can see that hundreds of innocent people are hunted to captivate one single enemy. Helpless children and women become victims of such ruthless revenge. We need Manu’s wisdom to stop this madness and Dhruva’s humility to receive that wisdom.

Manu’s outstanding advice reveals the secret that the Lord is omnipresent in all. When we cause fear and misery to others, in reality, it is directed to the Lord in them. Then, the ill effects will definitely come back to us causing the same misery. So, beware!

 Look at Kubera, what a graceful tolerance he has shown here. Only a truly divine mind can bless an enemy who killed these many (innocent) people.

The beauty of our culture lies in the way we treat our as well as others’ mistakes. We never condemn a person for his follies forever. The Guru points out when the Shishya goes wrong and advises him, how to come out of it. The Shishya accepts it wholeheartedly and takes committed efforts to rectify his mistakes. They both drop the past and move ahead with mutual love and respect. This constant evolution ultimately transforms an ordinary man into God!
