Shloka : 75

गुह्यवार्ता तु कस्यापि प्रकाश्या नैव कुत्रचित् ।

समदृष्ट्या न कार्यश्च यथार्हार्चाव्यतिक्तम: ॥ 75 ॥

અને કોઈની પણ જે ગુહ્યવાર્તા તે તો કોઈ ઠેકાણે પણ પ્રકાશ કરવી જ નહિ. અને જે જીવનું જેવી રીતે સન્માન કરવું ઘટતું હોય તેનું તેવી જ રીતે સન્માન કરવું, પણ સમદૃષ્ટિએ કરીને એ મર્યાદાનું ઉલ્લંઘન કરવું નહિ. ॥ 75 ।

And one should never disclose the secret of anybody anywhere and one should pay due respect to all the the living beings as per their eligibility and one should never give up polite and cour­teous behaviour for the sake of equality. || 75 ||

Commentary

One should never disclose anybody’s 'secret' i.e. a fact which is kept from being known by others. Because by disclosing the secret, one discloses the fact for which one has been trusted. So it is breach of trust. Secondly, it is an accusation. Thirdly, it hurts the feelings of a person whose secret has been disclosed. So, it is a sin to hurt anybody. If one is sincerely interested in improving the drawbacks of the other person, one should lovingly advice him in private with good intention and should not humil­iate him.

And impartiality means the same Brahm i.e. Supreme Being is residing in everyone. By following such concept, one should not give up the prudence required to pay respect. Because if good as well as bad people are treated in the same manner, there is no way to distinguish between the truth and the untruth. Among the absolute devotees of God who follow the code of conduct, the learned devotees are the best and none is better than such abso­lute devotees. Because God is residing in the heart of such devotees. Thus, the absolute devotees of Shri Hari should be paid supreme (respect) honour considering their eligibility. A person, who is not aware of this and treats truth and untruth equally, commits the biggest sin. Therefore, the devotees of God should learn to discriminate between proper and improper.
