In the previous chapter, we have already noted down the kinds of debts and meeting of debts. One must repay the same at any cost at any point of time; if not in this birth the next; because, it is a kind of energy, which is indestructible. By reading good books, one can acquire good information and can distribute it among people, which is a kind of repayment of debt. Inspiring others to do good things through “SWADHYAYA” or self-analysis is another kind of repayment. One should accept or confess his mistakes for the welfare of society, which is too a kind of repayment. While performing duty, one should analyze the past, which is a kind of repayment. Reformed children can repay debt by performing their duty properly towards their parents. Again, by building a child properly, one can repay his debt. Besides the above, helping disabled persons, speaking the truth, working for the peace and security of others, performing social duty etc. are some kinds of repayment. In the process of repayment, money is devalued. Hence, we can say, repayment of debt is nothing but one’s social duty for the cause of greater benefit of society. Debt is always associated with relation, which has to be maintained by economic strength, understanding, sacrifice, love, kindness etc. More clearly speaking, relation is the outcome of necessity. Establishing relation with someone is a kind of repayment of debt; because, in a family even we pay each other’s debt that we had in the previous birth. After the repayment is completed, the soul goes away to its destination. We call it “death”. Hence, everything in the universe is related through a kind of debt, which is otherwise defined- DONETION ESSENTIAL TO MAKE THE BOND TRUSTWORTHY.

Human is the highest form of living creature on this earth. He/she is the supreme of all on this earth. He/she comes here owing to his/her “KARMAPHALA”, i.e. due to his/her good deeds. He/she comes to this earth to repay his/her debts of previous birth, which we call “Relation”. He/she repays his/her debts in different forms. For example, cow gives us milk; dog watches our home and bullock ploughs our land etc.

This debt of human is of different kinds, such as- “PITRU-RUNA” (debt of father), “MATRU-RUNA” (debt of mother), “RISHI-RUNA” (debt of sages), “DEBA-RUNA” (debt of the God), “ATITHI-RUNA” (debt of guest). In a general sense, debt means, to take something from others for time being. However, philosophically we can define it differently; because, it refers to the theory or connectivity of souls. Different souls are connected through this concept knowingly or unknowingly.

Hence, we can define debt as “Donation essential to make the bond trustworthy”. Human has different kinds of relation-bonds, such as- bond with mother, bond with father, bond with sages, bond with teachers etc. All these bonds are considered as the God; because, he/she gets benefit from them. Hence, all kinds of bond he/she has are bond of the God (Deba-runa). Therefore, he/she comes to this earth repeatedly to repay his/her debts.

He/she is indebted to nature too. Here, nature means, air, water, soil and trees etc. because, they too play a great role for a healthy life of human. Hence, he/she has a sense of responsibility towards these natural objects. He/she can repay his/her debts to these objects of nature by controlling pollution. By reading different books, one can control pollution and inspire others for the same. Not only that, human comes to the earth just to realize his mistake and by this he/she repays the debts of nature; because, acceptance of mistake brings realization in him/her and reforms him/her ultimately.

There is a saying, ‘right direction is the key of success. However, right direction must be followed by right determination. When right direction and right determination go together, right knowledge comes to human. One’s power of determination becomes more sharpen when he/she has deep interest to do something. So, the Geeta says-

                                                     “¸ÉrùÉ´ÉÉ&±É¦ÉiÉä \ÉÉxÉÆ iÉiÉÂ{É®ú& ºÉªÉÆiÉäÎxpùªÉ&;

                 \ÉÉxÉÆ ±É¤v´ÉÉ {É®úÉÆ ¶ÉÉÎxiɨÉÊSÉ®äúhÉÉÊvÉMÉUôÊiÉ*”

This power of determination means, “VRATA” or “DIKSHYA”, for which one needs a teacher or “GURU”; because, one cannot have complete knowledge without a right teacher.

            Now, let us see, who can be a real Guru or right teacher? A right teacher is one, who knows the Veda; a person well versed in the Veda is “SHROTRIYA”. Hence, “SHROTRIYA” is one of the qualities of a right Guru. The second important feature of the Guru is “BRAHMANISTHA”, which means who knows about ATMA and PARAMATMA or relation between the soul and the God. Hence, a Guru acts as a light-post. Under his able guidance, one can have right direction and right determination; consequently, one can take right decision.

Great people say that a Guru is like a living “GRANTHA” or scripture; because, he has all the qualities that a “GRANTHA” has. Here, “GRANTHA” stands for scientific knowledge. So also, a Guru directs his disciples scientifically while taking decision. One’s right direction, right determination, right decision generate right happiness and this happiness leads one towards awareness. Once awareness is on, one becomes a benevolent soul; because, he/she can distinguish between right and wrong easily by applying his/her sixth sense.

Determination power can give one “MOKSHYA” or “NIRVANA”, which no Guru can give. He can only show the right path. It is the disciple to walk on that path. Hence, Guru is not the sole authority of the universe. He is only a spiritual platform on which one can experiment and expose himself in right direction. It is only a route to reach the destination. A Guru cannot walk on that; because, he has many things to do or has a vast responsibility to deliver. Hence, we can call him rightly a right instrument or “SHADHANA". According to the law of the universe, a right teacher repays his debt of his previous birth to his disciples by imparting right knowledge.

 Hence, while attaining perfection, one should see carefully that he is under a right teacher. Three ‘D’s can produce a great ‘H’. That means right direction, right determination and right decision can produce right happiness.
