And over all in the family affairs there is always misunderstanding between father mother and sons, between wellwishers, between brothers and even with husband and wife there is always a strain of mind and quarrel. #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="PURPORT"#PURPORT#/span##/h4# #div class="purport"# A conditioned living being in endowed with four principles of malpractices namely errors, insanity, inability and cheating. These are signs of imperfectness and out of the four one malpractice namely the propensity for cheating others is most prominent. And why this cheating practice is there in the conditioned soul because the conditioned souls are primarily in the material world imbued with an unnatural desire for lording it over the material world. A living being in his pure state is not conditioned by the laws because in his pure state he is conscious that a living being is eternally subservient to the Supreme Being and as such it is always good for him to remain as subservient, instead of falsely trying to lord it over the property of the Supreme Lord. In the conditioned state such living being is not satisfied even if he becomes actually the Lord of all that he surveys which he never becomes and therefore he becomes the victim of all kinds of cheating even with his most nearest and intimate relations. In such unsatisfactory state of affairs there is no harmony even between the father and the sons or between the husband and the wife. But all these contending difficultes can be mitigated by one sanguine process and that is devotional service of the Lord. The world of hypocrisy can be checked only by counteraction of devotional service of the Lord, and nothing else. Maharaj Yudhisthir having observed the disparities, conjectured dislocation of the Lord's presence on the earth. #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"##p class="mw-empty-elt"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_4"#TEXT 4#/span##/h4# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#jihma-prāyaṁ vyavahṛtaṁ#/dd# #dd#śāṭhya-miśraṁ ca sauhṛdam#/dd# #dd#pitṛ-mātṛ-suhṛd-bhrātṛ-#/dd# #dd#dam-patīnāṁ ca kalkanam#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=jihma&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#jihma-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=prāyam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#prāyam#/i# — cheating; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=vyavahṛtam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#vyavahṛtam#/i# — in all ordinary transactions; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=śāṭhya&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#śāṭhya#/i# — duplicity; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=miśram&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#miśram#/i# — adulterated in; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ca&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ca#/i# — and; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=sauhṛdam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#sauhṛdam#/i# — regarding friendly well-wishers; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=pitṛ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#pitṛ#/i# — father; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=mātṛ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#mātṛ#/i# — regarding the mother; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=suhṛt&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#suhṛt#/i# — well-wishers; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=bhrātṛ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#bhrātṛ#/i# — one's own brother; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dam-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=patīnām&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#patīnām#/i# — regarding husband and wife; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ca&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ca#/i# — also; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=kalkanam&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#kalkanam#/i# — mutual quarrel. #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# All ordinary transactions and dealings became polluted with cheating, even between friends.
