P. 83
Nothing in this world happens without a cause, a reason.
Cause leads to effect.
Hence here in Sita’s incident in the forest, you have to consider
Karma to be the main reason because no human efforts are
involved here. Inspite of being left alone in the forest, she
enjoys a luxurious stay in the palace. Her delivery also took
place there with utmost care. All this is result of Punya !
The effect of Punya and Papa plays an elemental role in the
course of life. Thus favourable circumstances and facilities are
all merely an indication of Punya in action and hence should
not be used for satisfying temptations and strengthening our
negative passions. Instead this Punya should be optimally
utilized for acts of charity, devotion of God-Guru, Samayika,
accepting various vows, for cultivating virtues of forgiveness,
honesty, etc.
Thus, you should keep in mind :
That these favorable facilities and circumstances is not a fruit
of past misdeeds but a result of good acts (Punya) done in
the past. Thus is it appropriate to attain the fruits of Punya
and use it in strengthening your Papa (doing acts that leads
to Papa) ?
