Passage 8

In English

Our motives should be sublime, deeds righteous

We do not want God nor do we cultivate devotion. But we want God to shower and (peace and divine bliss) on us. If we want peace, we should conduct our life on lines conducive to peace. How can a person, pursuing evil and unrighteous ways, ever obtain peace, truth and joy? Can we have the belch of a gourd by eating a mango? As are the deeds, so are the rewards. As the motives, so are the gifts of God. Hence our motives should 'be sublime and deeds should be righteous.
