Ninda Ras: More Dangerous Than Alcohol, Resolve To Stay Away From Such Vices In The New Year 2025
Ninda Ras: When someone or something is criticised in simple terms, it's called 'ninda.' However, 'Ninda Ras' is even more harmful. Let’s understand the meaning of Ninda Ras.
Ninda Ras: While living in a family or society, we face various situations, one of which is ‘criticism.’ When we are unable to oppose someone directly, many people resort to criticism. You must have encountered such people in life.
Typically, when jealousy toward someone increases, people start criticising them to bring them down. At times, individuals criticise others to elevate their own status or hide their flaws. However, there is a difference between criticism and the poison of criticism. The poison of criticism is considered even more dangerous than alcohol. Let’s understand how.
The Poison Of Criticism
Criticising or criticising someone and then savoring that criticism is called the "poison of criticism." It means taking pleasure in criticism. The poison of criticism reflects a sense of ego. The person criticising feels they are superior and begins to belittle others. Some people criticise to mock others, some to prove themselves better, and some simply to pass time. Later, they start enjoying it and get immersed in the poison of criticism. They develop the habit of speaking ill of others and become filled with negative energy. By the time they realise this bad habit, it’s often too late. Therefore, we should avoid seeing the faults in others and instead take the good from others' virtues. Additionally, make a resolution for the New Year (2025) to stay away from the bad habit of criticism.
Criticising Is Like A Sin
- According to the Rigveda, those who criticise others, knowingly or unknowingly, are causing harm to themselves.
- Criticising is considered the greatest sin, and it always leads to negative consequences.
- Criticism reflects inferiority and weakness. Those who criticise are considered sinners in the eyes of God.
Criticising Is More Dangerous Than Alcohol
The poison of criticism is considered more dangerous than alcohol or wine. The effect of alcohol fades after a day, but harsh, insensitive, or sarcastic criticism can lead to depression. Therefore, its use can sometimes be destructive. Criticism reflects feelings of jealousy or envy towards a person. It can make the individual feel a lack of self-respect and may lead to depression. Hence, be constructive in your thoughts and do not use criticism to belittle or harm others.
Ninda Ras By Harishankar Parsai
Harishankar Parsai, the famous Indian writer, has said that criticism is harmful, especially when presented in a harsh, sarcastic, or unnecessary manner, making it difficult to accept. However, at times, it becomes necessary because criticism is a part of life that cannot be avoided. Although it is often used destructively, you can accept critiques, work on your weaknesses, and use them as an opportunity to improve and become better.
