Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

We do both good and bad deeds. Don't our good actions nullify the

evil effects of our bad actions? Don't they at least balance each

other? In other words, will our good actions cancel the bad effects

of our misdeeds?

 

Since you are a Commerce student, you have put this question. All

your thinking is along the direction of credit and debit. But, God,

you know, is a super divine accountant. His balance sheet is not of

your type. He will make you face the consequences of your actions,

good for good actions and bad for bad actions. He will not add or

subtract any of the consequences of your actions.

 

A small example I give you in this context. Suppose you have some

seeds of both thorny plants and fruitbearing trees. When you sow

them, what will happen? The seeds of the thorny plants will germinate

into thorny bushes and the seeds of the fruit bearing trees will

germinate into fruit bearing ones respectively. Germination will

never happen contrary to this, will it? The same is the case with

your sinful deeds and the meritorious.

 

You must have seen persons who vow to offer ten. thousand rupees to

Lord Venkateswara if they win a lottery for ten lakhs. Can't they

understand that God who can give you ten lakh rupees doesn't expect

your ten thousand rupees? They don't think reasonably and logically.

People think according to their worldly standards. But, Swami wants

you to spiritualise your worldly actions as well.
