Everyone should cultivate good thoughts and eschew all bad feelings. God has no dislike for anyone. He envies no one. He has no ill-will towards anyone. Nor does He have favourites. The grace one gets is the result of one's own feelings. "Bhaavaatheetham Thriguna Rahitham" (The Divine is beyond feelings and attributes). He is "Ekam Sathyam Vimalam Achalam" (the One, Truth, Pure, Immovable). He is "Sarvadhee Saakshibhuutham" (Eternal Witness in all minds). When devotees complain nowadays as to why they are being punished by the Lord in various ways, they do not realize that it is not God who is punishing them. Their own fears and fancies are the cause for their troubles. He alone is a true devotee who recognizes that the sufferings that one undergoes are the consequences of one’s own bad thoughts and actions.
