SYNOPSIS: Victory over corruption, malpractices and misappropriation will only be possible when our inner self restrains us from indulging in it. Today due to a lack of real devotion towards GOD, we have suppressed or may have even killed our inner voice. READ THE FULL ARTICLE BELOW -

There is a temple where great care is taken about cleanliness. I regularly see the temple attendants cleaning and wiping the floor of the temple. Despite the regular cleaning process, we find dirty water and dirt coming out in the process. I have never seen that the water is dirt-free and clean after the cleaning process. I wish to see that day when the water is clean after the cleaning process and when no dirt is discharged. But this does not seem possible because every day a lot of devotees and things keep moving in and out of the temple.

Likewise, we experience the inward and outward movement of earthly thoughts which soils our heart. It takes no time to make a pure heart impure. For example, just see how purified or incorrupt the soul of a 2 - 3 year old child is. Thereafter with every passing year, impurity increases. By looking at the elders the child learns to speak lies and a lot of bad things creep into his behavior. To learn goodness by observing it and to practice goodness in soul and mind needs great labor but bad things stick easily in our mind and soul without any effort.

To imbibe goodness and to upkeep it is very difficult. But to imbibe bad things and to upkeep them is very easy because it is a natural phenomenon which requires no efforts from our side.

We need lots of precautions and efforts to see that those bad things do not stick to us. We need lots of efforts to discard the bad things which are present in our mind and soul. Therefore the easiest way and the easiest method to achieve this is through pure devotion towards GOD and to stay in the companionship of GOD and let devotion cleanses our mind and soul and keeps it tidy and clean. The companionship of GOD has a unique and singular power to spontaneously cleanse our mind and soul. Just like antivirus software in a computer silently does its work and cleanse the computer system from within and disallows unwanted things from entering into the computer. Likewise, devotion cleanses of mind and soul from within and prohibits bad things and impurities from entering.

Nothing in the world is powerful enough or has strength enough to cleanse our mind and soul. This power, this strength is present only and only in the devotion of GOD. For example, a person having fear of GOD and having a devotion for GOD will never do anything which is unethical, unprincipled or immoral. Because he knows that his immoral acts will lead him to punishment upon death and he cannot enter into the gates of the kingdom of GOD with his soiled soul. The devotion of GOD and the love for GOD therefore purifies his mind and soul to such an extent that he lives a life on earth discarding all bad and evils. Such a person will not indulge in corruption and will not take a bribe, he will not indulge in malpractices of business, nor will he indulge in adulteration, neither will he fraudulently snatches someone’s right.

Living in this world, we will never see a day when our soul does not get impure. The world will always transmit impurity and it is only through devotion that we can regularly cleanse our soul.

The act, when bribery will not attract us, when we will not compromise on our life’s values and principles, when we will not indulge in business malpractices and adulteration is only and only possible due to the devotion and on the strength of devotion. This is the true characteristic of pure devotion. If its result is not so then our devotion is not pure but artificial which will not greatly benefit us.

To repel impure ideas, unwarranted needs and desires from our mind and soul, the only and easiest way is through pure devotion towards GOD. Pure devotion of GOD is the key that unlocks pure ideas, pure behavior, pure wish and pure desire.
