| For behind the
moral universe there is a spiritual universe where all differences are reconciled, all
conflicts between good and evil cease and all our sins melt away in the
Grace of God. As
the physical world is subject to the law of causation and the moral world is subject to
the Law of Karma, so the spiritual world is subject to the law of love.
The Gita teaches us
that the spiritual progress of a man lies between two types of character-a Sakta and a Yukta. The former is one who works from attachment to the world. The latter is one who works out of love of God. Both of them work with zeal. But there is a world of difference in their motives and hence in the consequences of their actions. The work of the man of the world results in bondage, as all actions good and bad, when they are prompted by self-centered desires, bind the soul to the wheel of Samsara; where as the work of the man of God results in freedom, as all actions which are prompted by a desire to co-operate with God set free the soul. |
