What we are now at present is
the result of what we thought and did in the past. What we shall be in the
future will be the result of what we think and do now. We find an environment
which is best suited to the tendencies we acquired in a former life. We can
create better conditions for the future. We can make our choice on what we
choose. We can rise to a very high state of perfection. We can change our
character, thoughts and actions. A boatman without oars, rudder and sails is
carried away helplessly by the winds and currents; but a clever boatman with
oars, sails and rudder, ably directs the boat in any direction he likes and
reaches the other shore safely. Even so, he who knows the Laws of Nature can
sail fearlessly in the ocean and reach the other shore of quite safely.
Knowledge is a torch-light. Hence, knowledge is absolutely indispensable.
Ignorance is the greatest sin. An ignorant man becomes a victim or a slave of
nature.
