The name of Mahatma Vidur comes at the top among the most intelligent and devout guides of the Mahabharata period. As the General Secretary of Hastinapur, the teachings related to life, governance and human nature that he gave to King Dhritarashtra are equally relevant today even after centuries. ‘Vidur Niti’ is not just an ancient text, but a practical guidebook to get out of the troubles of modern life and achieve sure success in difficult situations.
1. Keep the goal a secret and speak only when the work is completed
According to Vidur Niti, an intelligent person does not make public his important decisions, plans and future strategies ahead of time. It is wise to remain silent on any task until it is completely successful.
Often, announcing a plan in advance creates negative obstacles and makes opponents alert. Mahatma Vidur says that a person’s work should yield results before his planning.
2. Protect yourself from excessive anger, ego and jealousy
Vidur ji believes that man’s biggest enemy is not any outsider, but his uncontrolled anger and ego. Anger destroys intelligence and an irrational mind can never take right decisions.
A person who is jealous after seeing the progress of others or is egoistic considering himself supreme, his downfall is certain. In any adverse situation, only a balanced decision taken by keeping one’s mind calm opens the way to victory.
3. Show off more than ability and laziness are the root of failure
To achieve success, it is very important for a person to have accurate knowledge of his actual capabilities, financial situation and limitations. According to Mahatma Vidur, a person who spends more than his income without thinking and lives only for show, remains trapped in stress and debt throughout his life.
Along with this, Vidur ji has considered laziness and the habit of postponing work as a poison hidden within man. Continuous practice and respect for time is the real basis of success.
4. Don’t blindly trust incompetent and selfish people
Vidur Niti clearly states that a man should be extremely cautious while choosing friends and advisors. You should immediately distance yourself from a person who speaks sweet words only in front of you and speaks evil behind your back.
Trusting someone too much without thinking is putting yourself in danger. True friends and guides are those who have the courage to speak the truth in times of crisis and give good advice selflessly.
5. Maintaining equanimity in happiness and sorrow is the real strength.
The real mantra of success is that a person should not become arrogant in favorable times and should not lose patience by getting distracted in adverse times. A person who accepts the ups and downs of life as a normal process and remains firm on his duty, no power in the world can stop him from being successful.
