glued to it, be it a temple. If someone says something provocative or if something is misplaced or displaced, your temper hits the roof. There is no let up. You want to keep on filling the syringe of life with sewage water and then you expect rose water. Is it fair? Alternatively, everything is blamed on God, “For five years, I have taken a pilgrimage on the fifteenth day of the bright phase of the lunar month (full moon day) but my miseries have not yet alleviated”. You want to keep on committing crimes and do not wish a punishment. Such a thing has never happened in the past nor is it likely to occur in the future. Yet, just suppose that nature accepts this proposition, then you yourself will refuse.
“No, we will never refuse”. “Hold on. Can you define a crime?” “No”.
"You are in denial. Most of you know what crimes are. If I start naming them, you will acknowledge the first one to be ‘Pranatipata', second ‘Mrushavad, third 'Adattadan' and so on. There are 18 designated crimes. In short, everything prohibited by the Lord constitutes a crime, for which nature punishes you. In other words, what is considered as a crime, under the law of nature, is which has been prohibited and regarded as a sin by the Lord. Those who do not want a punishment have to refrain from sins altogether.”
Many argue that they do not consider eating after
Pranatipata = violence Mrushavad = untruism / False utterance Adattadan = stealing
