If a person kills a mosquito in someone’s house and if the house owner files a law suit that the accused killed a mosquito, court will laugh at it. If a buffalo is killed? Court will direct to replacement or it might charge market price of buffalo as a compensation. But if human is killed? Murderer could be hanged to death.

Spiritual government judges the crime against any person by the spiritual standing. There are broadly four levels. The lowest being the people who loot others, make others suffer for self gain. Person who are of the philosophy of enjoying life through legitimate joy as allowed by scriptures are the next. Then come those who work for betterment of others through material welfare and at the top are spiritual persons who work only for the benefit of others spiritually by suppressing their own infinite happiness.

Crime against spiritual person fetches highest penalty. The guilty loses on both the fronts spiritual as well as material. Penalty goes on reducing as one goes down the level. At the lowest level there may not be any punishment at all.

First step to any outer action is thinking. God notes thinking of mind. Any negative thinking is a crime. In fact, any thinking that does not help the cause of attaining infinite happiness is a misdeed. Hence thinking of mind needs to be controlled. However, it is impossible to exercise control over mind even for greatest of ascetics. When mind begins wrong thinking, break it. Take mind to another area which it likes but do not allow any negative thinking related to God and saint. Mind usually forms link of thoughts. One thought leads to another thought that supports the earlier one. In such situations, mind loses the track of correct and incorrect, of good and evil, of useful and harmful. Link can be broken by realizing that mind has gone on self-destruction mode. If the danger is perceived, mind will stop and soon after give it another positive thought to work on.

If there are sufferings then soul must understand that they are the outcome of sins in the past lives. God and saint can be of help to a soul just as a doctor can be of help to a patient. The condition is patient should accept doctor in good faith and the doctor should have complete knowledge of the subject. In addition, patient should take the medicine directed by the doctor. God and saint can be of help only if soul accepts God and saint in good faith. Tulsidas says that the saint must be genuine and soul must have confidence in him. If soul has no confidence or if soul thinks negatively of saint, nothing can be achieved and if saint is not genuine, soul will be doomed because fake saint will put soul on the wrong track.

One line should be inscribed on the mind that God can never think of any evil for anyone. To get out of the sufferings, mind must stop doing misdeeds. That will happen only if heart is pure and to purify heart constant remembrance of God is must. As it is said in Gita,’I am easily available to those who remember by constantly without any gap’.
