EMBELLISHMENT OF ACTIONS

Embellishment of Actions ~ 47 ~ these events (earthquakes, etc.) are nothing more than matters of cause and effect, rather than being manifestations of divine intervention. All such thoughts are deceptions created by Satan. That day is sure to come when the false and the true are differentiated; when good people are rewarded for their good deeds and bad people are punished for their bad deeds. God has bestowed upon everyone the capacity to think and distinguish truth from untruth. One who makes use of his God-given capabilities, receives guidance, while one who does not is left to his own resources. When the truth becomes apparent to a man, his mind receives a jolt. At that moment two paths are open before him. If he accepts the truth, his mind’s course is set in the right direction. On the contrary, if it should happen that, for circumstantial, or psychological reasons, he rejects the truth, he then, more often than not, commits the even greater folly of attempting to justify his failure in order to present a bad deed in a good light.
