People have seen the external form of worship. They have prayed and fasted according to religion. The internal form of worship is more beautiful. There, people cannot be hurt. The truth has to be spoken and the rules have to be followed. There is no question of taking away anyone’s rights or cheating anyone. If one cannot refrain from behaving in a way that hurts someone unjustly, then prostration in the mosque and worship in the temple will be a waste of time. Therefore, the prohibitions of religious principles must be strictly followed. If other people are not safe from the evil of the hand, the nakedness of the tongue or the evil counsel of the mind, then donations can be a waste of money. People expect good behavior from someone more than expecting two meals a day. If one gets the respect that one deserves, and if one is free where one has the right, then one should understand that religious actions are in force in society.
Coming to the next aisle after the prayer on time, telling lies while fasting or giving charity with bribe money will be a reason for punishment. A person believes in religion and also does unrighteousness – his punishment is double. If someone harasses someone unnecessarily, gives bad advice or cheats them of their rights – the master will not let him off the hook when he sees the worship of the outside world. The first test will be internal. If he passes it, the rest of the calculation will be easy. There is no harm in not doing anyone any good, but if he has harmed someone – punishment has become inevitable. The path of downfall will be inevitable. Hurting people – by word or deed, hitting people – by hand or foot, harassing people – in good times or bad times – there will be no exemption. The justification for every wrongdoing will begin in this world and the final judgment will be in the Hereafter. The punishment is written in fate.
It is not right to show it just because you have power. If a person destroys even the slightest right of another person, how tragic the consequences can be, some signs of that can be seen in this world. In the Hereafter, the responsibility will definitely have to be paid. It will have to be returned from deeds. If you kick someone because they are weak, if you plot to take possession of someone’s share, or if you do not give someone their rightful due – physical worship hangs in the balance. Until the rightful owner understands his right, heavenly peace does not come to the servant. Cheating someone, preventing someone, or preventing someone unjustly – is an act that is disliked by the divine being. Therefore, the external practice of religion will not be fruitful for anyone until the inner desire is purified.
Sitting in the seat of power, one cannot forget the past. People started their journey in a weak state and will fall into the consequences of their weakness again. Time moves on. It has been repeatedly urged that people remember the past and show tolerance in the future. If someone gets the power of two rods and can understand the punishment, then they will have to give an excuse for every moment. If someone’s behavior causes someone to feel pain like an ant bite, then that too cannot go unaccounted for. How many people will think they are believers, will have a scar on their forehead in prostration and will accept the externals of religion but they harbored pride and jealousy in their hearts, and cheated people secretly – it is difficult to get over it. Until the one whose rights have been violated does not forgive, even God will not allow the accused to drink.
We must avoid hurting people. The beauty of digesting power is much greater than showing power. It is better to forgive than to scold and blame when given the opportunity. If someone makes a mistake, we must secretly warn them and help them correct it. If someone hurts you by word or deed, the longer you delay in asking for forgiveness, the more the burden of sin will increase. It is very important to be human in nature and behavior. The respect of a person does not increase with the amount of wealth he has. A place in the heart cannot be found by intimidation. The more humble and pure a person is, the more holy his soul is. The person whose thoughts are for the benefit of others, the welfare of the society, and the progress of the state – he grows. Time makes good people grow. Therefore, one should vow to live without being a cause of pain to anyone. So that one dies before the thought of taking away someone’s rights arises – everyone should be a candidate for such prayers.
