God has provided everything for man’s good in the world. But there is one condition that must be observed. The result of your actions will be according to their nature, whether they are good or bad. Men today want to reap the fruits of good deeds without performing good deeds. This is impossible. Nor can they escape the consequences of their evil actions. God is only a witness. From now on, develop good thoughts, do good actions and redeem your lives. You must start with Karma Marga (Path of Action) and end with Jnana Marga (Path of Knowledge). In between, there is Upasana Marga (Path of Worship). This is the path you must follow today. For this, you must get the conviction that God is omnipresent. When you have that conviction, you will not indulge in falsehood or practice deception, you will not abuse others or cause harm to them, you will acquire all virtues.
