As an example...
As an example, think of a man who is a drunkard and within a week drinks so much that he is inflicted with a severe ulcer in the stomach, which it [ 215 ] will not be cured throughout his life. Does any body object here that the standard with which the sin has been measured for the ulcer punishment is not based on justice? Another instance of this can be a driver, who observes not the safety precautions, and in an instance through an accident, he becomes blind for life!
How do we want to concern and judge the cause with effect here? On the contrary to the said instances we may have a farmer who sprinkles a handful of flower seeds upon a large piece of fertile land, and after a period of time the whole extensive land is seen to have been covered with tens of thousands of beautiful flowers of various colours! What is the relation between that handful of seeds, and that extensive beauty of the flowers, and what has the effect to do with the cause?
THE MEANS OF PROSPERITY AND MISERY Prosperity is something that all peoples are in search of it, and is defined as successful progress and true happiness. It consists of having the means of development, and also spiritual and physical development in the path of Man's evolution. The antonym for prosperity is, ©FAILURE¨, misery, misfortune, and etc, the main cause of which is having no means of development and progress.
Having the means and instruments for a thing, and using it not, is another question. Prosperity and wretchedness are not instinctive, natural, and inborn gift or loss. Man has the faculty and power of being fortunate, if he works for it for having Free-Will. If he decides to be prosperous he must work for it and earn it, and if he does not avoid being wretched who can deliever him. In fact, life is what we make it, and God will help those who help themselves.
AND WE SHALL GIVE THEM THEIR SHARE IN FULL AND UNDIMINISHED.
