________________ SWADHARMA restless man. The organ of speech brings great distraction of mind. Control of speech really means the control of the mind. There is a sharp sword in the tongue. One harsh word or a mild rebuke breaks a long-standing friendship and results in fighting and actual bloodshed The restlessness of the world is due to too much talking, gossiping, back-biting and scandal-mongering Ladies are more talkative. They disturb the peaceful atmosphere of their homes. If all people of the world practise Mowna for two hours daily this will undoubtedly contribute to the peace of the world to a considerable degree 5. THE PSEUDO-KARMA YOGI A man puts on Khaddar clothes and dons a Khaddar cap He will not have any of the qualifications or attributes of the man who has introduced Khaddar. He will not follow his instructions even. He may not have the least tinge of self-sacrifice. He may have a big almirah of mill-made clothes. He may do a little charity and feed some poor people just for the sake of name and fame He himself will write to the papers about his charitable act in the name of a correspondent He may donate a small sum to a public cause. He will eagerly watch in the newspapers whether his name is published or not. He will be restless till he sees his name in the papers. Such a man is called a pseudo-Karma Yogi. The world abounds now in such sort of Karma Yogis 141
