Thought for the Day

There is a law of cause and effect; every karma (action) has a consequence, whether you like it, anticipate it or not! A good karma produces good results; a bad one will produce a bad result. Birth is the result of the karma done before death. If you are asked what happens to a person after death, you can point to yourself and declare, "This is what happens - Re-birth happens!” This is no religion of despair; it is a religion of hope, of assurance, of encouragement to lead an active, useful and beneficent life. For, the future is in your hands. Though today has already been shaped by yesterday, tomorrow can be shaped by today! Various types of Karma are performed to induce detachment, to channelise the desire towards eternal and universal ends, to transmute all acts into acts of worship, to offer adoration to God who presides over every force of Nature, every energy of man, and every limb of his anatomy!
