MahajyothiAs You Sow, So Shall You Reap
If you have accumulated the consequences of vices across several earlier births, it is you who must counterbalance them with virtue.
What you sow, you reap. If the soil is fertile, you will get good harvest. A barren land does not yield any produce. A Mahaan’s abode is a fertile land. If you sow good there, you will reap good. If you sow your evil thoughts there, you will reap evil consequences.
Duryodhana prostrated in front of Krishna, with the thought, ‘I will be relieved of my sins thus. Krishna, I surrender all my sins to you’. He did not mention it, though. Krishna laughed and declared, ‘Duryodhana, whatever anyone gives me, I will return it to them ten-fold’.
It is up to those who sin to make amends. If you have taken a loan of 10 rupees, you must earn 11 rupees to be able to return the amount.
If you have accumulated the consequences of vices across several earlier births, it is you who must counterbalance them with virtue. Is it not brazen impudence that makes one think of submitting one’s evil acts to the Lord? One must offer to Him the best one has.
The day you offer the best you have to the Lord who has given you the senses to perceive the world, you will become wealthy.
