attention to property and children. This is an open betrayal of his pledge of Faith. The gravity of this betrayal becomes painfully obvious when it is realized that the things for which man betrays God are in themselves gifts from God. What are a man’s property and his children? Are they not gifts from God? They are a trust given by God to his subject. The best use of this trust is that when its Donor wants it, it should be willingly surrendered to Him. But when God exhorts the people to rise and strive with all their might in the cause of His religion, they make an excuse of that very trust of God which they should have sacrificed for God’s religion and thus fulfilled their pledge of Faith to Him.

An action becomes a crime in the eyes of God only when it is perpetrated in the full knowledge that it is wrong. o Our vernacular websites: www.peaceandspiritualityinkannada.com www.peaceandspiritualityinmarathi.com www.peaceandspiritualityinmalayalam.com www.peaceandspiritualityintamil.com
