One gentleman who had spent his most of the life in doing bad things, promised to behave himself. He said that I am ready to stop doing bad things like playing gamble, selling his wife’s jewelry, not returning people’s money, constantly lying, guiding people to gamble and all. But only on one condition that I do not have to face any bad result. I am afraid of that.
First of all, I laughed that if you arr doing good or bad, you are doing for yourself. How can you put condition on me. Second thing, if you want to stop doing bad things because you have fear of facing consequences then it’s your choice. But still you have to face the consequences of what you have already done. Second thing, you cannot avoid result of what you have done, it’s like action and reaction but you can start doing good things. Not doing bad things does’t mean you are doing good things. So once you start doing good things, eventually result of that also would start coming for you and that also may mitigate what bad you have done. Still I cannot say how much it would be. But yes, when you start doing good things, it will bring forward good things too.
So what would be those good things? Like you misguided people, now, you can support in children’s education, you kept people’s money, return it, accept sorry for it, help poor people in managing their food etc. Give love to someone who is crying. Give a hand to someone who is falling. Offer a glass of water to someone who is thirsty. Give food to the hungry. You were doing bad where ever you can but now start doing good, where ever you can.
It took him a year or more but yes he was a changed man. After one year he shared that now, he feels more love for himself from himself and others. He feels more respected and he feels he is taken care of.
We all can do that!
