God’s Proximity Bestows Good Results
We are now bidding farewell to 1993 and welcoming the New Year, 1994. There is an intimate relationship between the two years. We give a send-off to one while welcoming the new one. In the same way, we should bid farewell to bad qualities and welcome good divine qualities. One should offer all bad qualities to God and receive good qualities from Him. One should improve sacred qualities in oneself. There is nothing wrong in offering bad qualities to God. In reality, what we have to offer to God are our bad qualities. It is only God who can accept and bear them. For example, if you have a hundred- currency note which is soiled, dirty, with streaks of oil, does not look pleasing, and cannot even be touched; no one will accept it. But, if the banknote number is intact, the Reserve Bank will accept it and give a new note of the same value in return. Only Reserve Bank will accept and no one else. Similarly, shortcomings, bad thoughts, and bad feelings will not be accepted and hailed by anyone. Only God will readily accept them and will confer blissful results.
