AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

Sir, I have tried to find an action that is free from its results, but I could not find any action that is free from results. Is there any action that is free from results🤔?

There is obviously no action that is without consequence. Even inaction and refusal to act has its outer as well as inner consequences.  However the same action has different inner consequences based on our inner attitude and motive. That is the teaching of the Gita. Action done unconsciously in tamasic indifference makes our consciousness dull and obscure. Action done under the stress of desire and rajasic ambition brings joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain as consequence. Action done in a sattwic state considering the right time and place brings peace and light. But the same action done without desire for fruits and as an offering to the Divine brings inner spiritual freedom and growth of the soul. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
