INHERITED PROPENSITIES

(Adhyaya V--Slokas 14, 15. Adhyaya Xlll--Slok 30-32. Adhyaya XIV-Slokas 5, 19. Adhyaya XVIII--Slokas 40, 60, 61.)

AS an aid to charity in judging others and to serve to calm the mind in moments of agitation, it is very useful to remember why men act wrongly. There is a load of congenital qualities with which we begin and which tend to find expression whenever we fail to exercise self control. We should think of our own weaknesses when we see others fail. Again, behind everything is God, the real Actor. We should not be disturbed by the constant appearance of whal, seems to our limited understanding to be evil. His will and His plans are inscrutable, thou-h worked through natural laws.

The soul does not exercise any agency or perform action, nor is it concerned with the fruits of action. It is the qualities of material nature that carry on.

V-14
