Discourses-----Day 22 August 21, 1940 On the subject of whether or not work for Ideal absolves one from sufferings caused by past deeds Sri Sri Thakur said, “That you will immediately reap all good fruits when you embark on right location---that is not idea. The effect of wrong action is bound to appear first. Every action gets its effect. Nothing can stop it. But man can manipulate the situation arising out of the action and can so utilize it for the benefit of the Ideal that it cannot give rise to anything but good. The bad thing will come but will not be able to do harm. Take for instance Narenda. He burned his hands and feet in the bus that caught on fire. But he took such a pose even in this situation that the environment was charmed. Without paying the least heed to his own burns he started helping others out. He started elating them even in the crisis. He was able to create an atmosphere wherein those who were less injured forgot their own pains and started following Narenda’s instructions. This is how he could utilize such a serious accident for winning his environment. This is what an adverse situation can become.” Nafarda is very unwell. Sri Sri Thakur spoke to him while sitting in the Philanthropy Office. “There is some complex or other at the root of all illness. A man gets overpowered by the passion and moves accordingly ; then follows the disease. If you don’t search there and do not lay your hands on that, wherever and however you may seek, whatever may be the quantity of medicine administered, nothing is of any avail. Lawgiver is one of the names of God. One cannot manage without abiding by the laws. Man submits to the life-denying laws of passion but does not go by the laws of life and happiness. That is why suffering becomes inevitable.”
