It is important to note that no two Neetis are identical although they might have some similarities. There are instances where Neetis could contradict one another, totally. Neeti that is acceptable in one family may not be acceptable in another, at all. What is found acceptable by one society may be termed contemptible by another. Neeti considered “decent” by one religion could be interpreted as otherwise by another one. In many ways Neeti, that is being followed by a set of people, also describes and defines the character and personality of that specific group of people. Hence, understanding Neeti in its essence, and adhering to it in one’s day-to-day life, plays a crucial role in establishing peace, happiness and prosperity in the entire society.
No civilization has had a greater understanding of the Neeti than the Vedic one. The Vedic people, who looked within for finding answers for sustainable health, wealth, happiness, prosperity and peace, propounded the importance of Neeti for thousands of years. However, instead of creating stringent rules or commandments, Vedic people emphasized universal compassion in individual and collective actions. It was because, without compassion, humans were sure to fail to understand, and even misunderstand, one another. Therefore, without understanding of Neeti, and practicing them as a way of life, misunderstandings would become a norm, and then chaos would be rampant.
यस्य नास्ति स्वयं प्रज्ञा शास्त्रं तस्य करोति किम्। लोचनाभ्यांविहीनस्य दर्पणः किं करिष्यति॥ अर्थ: जसरी एक दृष्टिविहिन व्यक्तिको लागि दर्पण अर्थात् ऐनाको प्रयोजन व्यर्थ हुन्छ त्यस्तै प्रकारले स्वविवेकले हीन व्यक्तिको लागि शास्त्रको प्रयोजन व्यर्थ रहन्छ।
