In daily life, we consume good things and eschew bad things. We consume good food and defecate what is not wholesome. This is a basic principle. You must give up the bad to provide room for the intake of what is good. This is the lesson from everyone's daily experience. Unfortunately today men give up what is wholesome and take what is harmful. That is, they are taking in the bad and giving up the good. It is this which accounts for the prevalence of disorder and misery in the world today. Hence, the first need is to cultivate good qualities. Bad thoughts and bad habits have to be cast away. Not recognizing this truth, man makes himself a prey to misery and discontent. Can you say that this misery and worry were caused by Providence? Not at all. You own bad thoughts and actions are the cause of your misery. As you sow, so shall youreap. The seed determines the fruit. When man cherishes bad thoughts, 'bad results haunt him. When he has good thoughts, the results are also good.
