Fear and Temptation

Ensure yourself that Fear and Temptation doesn't get involved in any act that you do.

In your career, Fear of failure and Temptation for success diverts you from concentrating on the work-to-do.

Fear of being punished for the mistakes committed in past and Temptation for fulfillment of desires in Future had been the tools of religion fanatics since ages to manipulate the masses. Beware of such acts. No religion says that GOD punishes a person for mistakes that he had committed. (I am not referring to the degraded principles in any religion that exists today but am referring to the original principles that was, when so called religion is formed for introducing the concept of GOD to masess for betterment of society) No one exist to punish you, except your self. Thought is powerful. Fear for mistakes committed in past makes you guilty. Guilt is the only sin, if it ever exists. Guilt makes you uncomfortable and naturally seeks a way to get out of it. In the process, to satisy your ego, you'll involve in some charity related activities or become captives of religion fanatics, doing whatever they ask you to do, not knowing what it really meant. "Past is past. Nothing can change it. Keeping this simple fact in mind, if ever one accepts the mistakes commmitted in past and takes a resolution to not repeat the mistake hereafter, there ends the formation of guilt. This is all one really needs to do."

Temptation for fulfillment of desires in future makes you involved in foolish things. I, myself after my graduation, had an agreement with GOD that if ever i get a job i'll offer HIM my first salary (its a one side agreement :-)). Temptation for job made me to even bribe GOD. This is just an instance in my life. I had such agreements with HIM in many phases of my life. But fortunately, not NOW anymore. Imagine the consequences, if u bribe your Mother to make your favourite curry. Mother definately feels odd, perhaps laughs and forgives your ignorance in lack of understanding her LOVE for you and ofcourse, makes your favourite curry. Mother does everthing for you out of love without expectations. So is GOD. Mother knows what is good for you. If you ask her to make an icecream for you in cold winter. She denies because she knows that its not good for your health, So is GOD. GOD knows what to give and what not to give to each indivdual. So temptation for future is utter foolishness.

Dear Friend, fear for past and temptation for future marks your absence in PRESENT and diverts you from doership. Simply avoid Fear and temptation. Thereafter, you will experience the beauty of living in PRESENT.
