Our ancient 7000 year old scriptures say:

 "A forehead without a Tilak, 

a woman without a husband, 

a Mantra the meaning of which is not known while doing Japa (recitation),

the head that does not bend before holy personages,

a heart without mercy, 

a house without a well, 

a village without a temple, 

a country without a river, 

a society without a leader, 

wealth which wont give anything away in charity, 

a preceptor without a disciple,

 a country without justice, 

a king without an able minister, 

a woman not obedient to her husband,

  a well without water, 

a flower without smell,

  a soul devoid of holiness, 

a field without rains,

 an intellect without clearness,

 a disciple who does not consider his preceptor as a form of God, 

a body devoid of health,

 a custom (Achar) without purity,

  austerity devoid of fellow-feeling, 

 speech in which truth is not the basis,

  a country without good people, 

work without wages, 

Sannyasa without renunciation,

 legs that have not performed pilgrimages, 

determination unaided by Viveka or discrimination, 

a knife which is blunt, 

a spear without a point- all these are worthy of condemnation. 

They exist for name´s sake only."
