23. INTENTIONS

23. Intentions ~ 64 ~ full well what a man’s thought processes and feelings are. People can be deluded by appearances, but God has complete knowledge of everything. He will deal with people according to His knowledge and will reward everyone exactly as he or she deserves. Intention has to do with the inner reality. A thing, which loses its reality or its meaningfulness, is valueless. Similarly, an act, which is performed with ill intention or with no good intention, has no value – neither in the eyes of man, nor of God. Things are of value only when they are pure, without any adulteration. An act done with right intention is a pure act, and an act performed without right intention is an impure act.
