Guest guest Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Do karma which breeds no consequence, no after-effects which have to be lived through---and you need not be born again. Engage in activity, as duty; or engage in activity, as "offering of worship to God"---then, such activity will breed no after-effects. This problem of escaping death, achieving immortality, is the very core of inquiry. When acts are done as offering to God, one will not be elated at success or disheartened by failure, for He prompts, He helps, He grants joy or grief as He wills, as He cares. The doer will have no attachment to the fruit of the deed, he will not be bound to its consequence; it will leave no trace on his personality which will shape him beyond death. One's duty is to act---act well, act in fear of God, act within the bounds of morality, act in love. Continue acting; the consequences will naturally follow as the fruit follows the flower. One need not worry or exult. Act enthusiastically, with faith---success is yours. Arjuna acted so. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. X, P. 96. Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. VIII, P. 59.
