Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Q:What about motives? Are there motivesfor performing actions not important?A:Whatever is done lovingly, with righteous purityand with peace of mind, is a good action.Everything which is done with the stain of desire and withagitation filling the mind is classified as a bad action.Do not perform any good action [karma] through a bad means,thinking "It is sufficient if it bears good fruit".Because, if the means is bad, even a good action will turnout to be a bad one.Therefore, even the means of doing actions should be pure.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BE AS YOU ARE , The Teachings of Sri Ramana MaharshiEdited by David Godman~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
