________________ misery, one must stop committing crimes/sins. Some say, “We are so attuned to committing sins that it has become our second nature to commit them. What if nature changes its law? In other words, if nature, instead of considering sin as a crime, deems it as a good deed and rewards it, we would not have to face any consequences.” A boy who had appeared for an exam, comes home and tells his mother, “Mother! Mother! What if Colombo were to become the capital of India?” “Why son? Why do you say so? Colombo is the capital of Sri Lanka.” “Mother! This is the answer I gave in the exam.” Look at this! The boy desires that Colombo should become India's capital as that is the answer given by him in his exam. Similarly, one does not want to leave sinning altogether and wishes that by changing its belief, nature should start viewing a crime as a good deed. No problem, nature has a generous disposition. On our saying, it will even change its beliefs. However, if nature were to ask you, “If someone slaps you, should I consider it a good deed and reward that person? Or, if someone commits a breach of trust and makes you incur a financial loss, is it alright for me to reward him ten times that amount?” What will your answer be? You would say, “No, how can he be rewarded? He should be punished.” In other words, shouldn't there be a court of Karmasatta to chastise the offender? Shouldn't there be an officer to enforce the punishment? Do you now agree that laws of nature are A thing can be snatched out of your hand but who can snatch anything from your destiny? 69Page Navigation
