worldly life will appear sweet so that one sinks deeper into it. It would be better if it were bitter instead.
Relative religions tell you to do good deeds. Even if you do the deed with ego, it is still considered good, because the fruit of it will be merit karma (punya). You reap what you sow. If you sow wheat; you will get wheat, and if you sow millet, you will get millet. Therefore, only sow what is suitable for you. You must get rid of your bad thoughts.

The Lord, who is the giver of moksha, is impartial (nishpakshapati). The Vitarag Bhagwan within you is impartial. A Vitarag religion is a religion that is 360 degrees, which means that it is a complete religion. It is a true religion, it has substance,
