I came across this popular phrase yesterday. Life is unsuspectable and we human get into some unwanted situation without out choices. We may end up taking certain decision and tasks that may result in down fall. It is always advisable, not to take decision in hurry. When we are tough situation our mind does not work in right direction making the decision making very complicated. Taking any steps in such situation may either bring bad name to them and to tbeir family. The similar phrase is mention Sanskrit too that says :
अयशः प्राप्यते येन येन चाधोगतिर्भवेत |
स्वार्थश्च भ्रश्यते येन तत्कर्म न समाचरेत् |
Ayashah praapyate yena yena chaadhogatirbhavet.
Svaarthashch bhrashyate yena tatkarma na samaacharet.
Ayash = infamy.
Praapyate = gets.
Yena = whatever.
Chadhogatirbhavet = cha + adhogatih + bhavet.
Cha = and.
Tatkarma = that action.
Na = not.
Samaacharet = perform, do.
Adhogatih = degradation, downfall.
Bhavet = happens.
Svaarthashch = self interest.
Bhrashyate = corrupt.
i.e. One should never undertake and perform such tasks, which may bring in bad name to him or result in his downfall, as also such acts motivated by his self interest, which may make him corrupt
We have no control over the various things happens in life. In many cases we may undertake certain task which may spoil our name and bring bad words for the family. It is therefore very important to avoid undertaking such tasks. This applies everywhere, be it a human being or a business entity. Practicing unethical practices is alwsys harmful. Actions like infidelity, dishonesty, or betrayal can severely damage trust and lead to the breakdown of relationships is a good example of beinging bad name to the family.
The phrase "when in problems avoid bringing bad name" is a call to action to minimize reputational damage during challenging situations. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a positive image and avoiding actions that could lead to public criticism or negative perceptions. A good name is built on trust, respect, and integrity. Actions that harm this reputation can lead to strained relationships, loss of trust, and social isolation.
