Men today seek the fruits of good deeds without engaging themselves in good actions. They wish
to avoid the consequences of sinful actions while indulging in such actions. If you want to avoid
the results of bad deeds, you should avoid such actions. If you desire the fruits of meritorious
deeds, you must do meritorious acts... develop the qualities of love and forbearance. Love grows by giving and forgiving... make good use of every minute of your time. See that your heart remains pure and
unsullied.
- Divine Discourse, 18th June 1989. |
