Chapter 10 verse 38
“I am just punishment amongst means of preventing lawlessness, and proper conduct amongst those who seek victory. Amongst secrets I am silence, and in the wise I am their wisdom.”
Sanatana dharma has reams of literature on how to run a just society with consequences of lawless action including avatars of Lord to rid society of evils by eliminating such evil. Violence is not encouraged but suitable punishment to prevent lawlessness is absolutely prescribed. Lord has indicated that such punishment is also meted out by Him. When someone earns a victory or success in their endeavor, it is only natural to celebrate. However the best of us celebrate with humility and contentment. The victory itself is obtained through moral means. This is a great lesson and reminder in current times of political and global anarchy. There is no secret which can be kept unless the person keeps it to himself/herself. It doesn’t remain a secret when another person knows about the secret. That’s why silence is the best way to keep a secret. That silence represents the glory of the Lord. There are countless secrets of the multi-verse He holds in his bosom without divulging to anyone over eons. The wisdom to see that all creation is His and love, compassion is the way of the world makes the wise stand out. That wisdom emanates from the Lord through His GRACE alone.
