PUNYA AND PAP :
The sou! said, "Do your respective jobs. Are you drunk ? Have you forgotten that you are workers ?".
The eyes have been instructed to see only noble sights, noble men and the Paramatma but what kind of sights do they see?
We should hear with our ears spiritual discourses and scriptural recitations and should create in ourselves a spiritual awakening. The benefit that we get from our ears must be used for our spiritual development. It must bring us spiritual serenity. The duty of the tongue is to glorify the Paramatma and the benefit that we get from it must result in our spiritual elevation. Thus, every organ has its allotted duty. But on that day those workers were rebelling against their master. Each had been saying, "I am somebody. I am inferior to none. I too must have POWER'. Because of this kind of egoistic attitude of each organ, there arose a serious dissension among them.
At the end the soul said to them, ''What has happened to you? Have some sense and carry out your respective duties. Your welfare lies in helping one another. If you do not take my advice; if you do not love me ; and if you do not carry out my commands, I will go away from you and find some other residence and then you can exercise your power".
At once, there was an emergency meeting of the organs. The notice issued by the soul was read out at the meeting. All were present and all began discussing the point in detail. The notice said that if they did not unite in twenty four hours, the soul would leave them and go away.
All said, "Ah! If the soul goes away what place can we have in this world? Our arrogance will be burnt or buried":
