101. Without one’s own merits

There are all kinds of substances, people  and states in the world. A meritorious soul attains favorable things, people and states in life without effort on their own without making any effort. In the rise of previous bondage auspicious karmas, attainment of any favorable thing is not impossible. Even distant, inaccessible and rare things are attainable and accessible to the great pious soul easily. On the other hand, in the rise of inauspicious karmas, even easily attainable things cannot be found. And if it is found, then it cannot be enjoyed. If it is enjoyed then it is the cause of sorrow instead of pleasure. In the rise of acute sin, the medicine becomes poison, the protectors become the killer. Mother, father, brother or guardian become life-destroyer. Wealth causes misery in the form of calamity. Son, friend and other dear ones also become enemies. So avoid such deeds by which intense sinful karmas are bound. It is said-

Sakal Padarath hain Jagmahin

Punyaheen nar paawat nahin

Punyaheen ko na mile, bhali vastu ka Jog
