The extraordinary causality of Paramatma in the doership of the jiva is only in the activity of karma karma Action. Deed. Any thought, word, or deed that will sooner or later reap its consequences.

Bhagvãn is the giver of the rewards of the karmas; good deeds reap pleasant rewards, and bad deeds reap painful fruits. Karmas remain with a jeev until it has received its rewards. Tap to open in glossary → if we believe Paramatma's extraordinary causality to be in that itself, then to the jiva who performs all karmas only by the inspiration of Paramatma... Good desire or bad desire, God does not stop one from having them. In that, the jiva has been given independence. Then, He stops. Someone had a bad desire, that 'I want to murder someone.' Then he may not be able to do it. God stops him. That 'you do not have the capacity yet.' Someone had a good desire, but worldly. 'I want to donate this much.' Then he may not be able to do it. So, because it has not come within his capacity, then He stops him. He does not stop him from making the initial resolve. He does not stop at all in making resolves related to God. Even his prarabdha does not stop him. So, there are two types of these. In making a good resolve, he made a good resolve, for example, someone made a resolve, that 'I want to donate.' 'I want to feed Brahmins.' 'I want to observe Chaturmas.' He did that. He might have done it for merit. Then God gives the fruit of that resolve. And if he performs the action, He gives the fruit of the action in addition. He gives the fruit of a good resolve. So, God does not stop him in that. And if he performs the action, He gives more fruit. And if one wants to walk on the path of God, He does not stop him at all in that. If there is some hindrance, then his samskaras stop him. Samskaras might have been formed, weak ones. So, they stop him. So, how to rise above those samskaras, for that, he, should form good samskaras, and do satsang satsang 1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.

Tap to open in glossary → If someone is better than us, and he develops affection for them, then he gets help. Like that. If we believe Paramatma's extraordinary causality to be in that itself, then to the jiva who performs all karmas only by the inspiration of Paramatma, there would be no scope at all to follow the rules and prohibitions. So, to make a good resolve, God does not stop him at all in that. Ever. As much power as one has, one should do it. And as much, as much power as one has, that much, burning desire should be brought. So, if it is a good resolve, on this path of God, if he makes a good resolve, 'I want to serve God in this way,' 'I want to serve God's mission in this way,' then on the contrary, God helps, because it is His own work. And if he has a burning desire, then there is no question of prarabdha, prarabdha does not hinder anyone in that. That is, everything runs on intention itself. So, there are two divisions. One is worldly good karma karma Action. Deed. Any thought, word, or deed that will sooner or later reap its consequences. Karmas of a person are linked to their rewards (cause and effect).

Karmas remain with a jeev until it has received its rewards. Tap to open in glossary → there remains some obstacle. If it is not in one's destiny, then, he cannot do it. Even if he has a resolve to do good work, still he cannot do it. But still, God gives the fruit of the resolve. He has made a good resolve, right? So, God gives the fruit of that. In Kaliyuga, one gets the fruit of a good resolve. In Kaliyuga, that came in the dharma dharma 1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion, Tap to open in glossary → It came in Satsangijivan. It came in Satsangijivan. In Kaliyuga, of a good resolve, Kaliyuga's very, plus points were extracted by all the sages, in that, this was one plus point extracted of Kaliyuga. That one gets the fruit of a good resolve. So, what does that mean? If a resolve arises in my mind that 'I want to donate ten million rupees,' and 'I have done it,' then do I get any fruit? Eh? Related to God. The meaning of a good resolve is, towards God, and towards the ekantik devotee of God, if one makes a good resolve, then one gets its full fruit. Like that. If one makes a good resolve, in this world, Maharaj... it is written in Gunatitanand Swami's talks, 'what is the happiness of Akshardham in this world?' 'And what is the misery of hell in this world?' So, what is said? Towards God, towards God and God's devotee, good... A good resolve arises, in that, only this much is said, that a good resolve is the happiness of Akshardham. And if a weak resolve arises, if bad resolves arise, then, the misery of hell. Its meaning also should be expanded a little more. That if a good resolve arises towards the Satpurush of God, then it is the happiness of Akshardham. If a general good resolve arises, then the happiness of Akshardham cannot come. Someone felt in his mind, 'I should help this poor person.' Or 'I should do some other good work.' Then from good work, he certainly gets peace. We talked about it earlier, that good work itself is such, that its influence is felt immediately. But does its influence give the happiness of Akshardham like this? That is, Maharaj said that, by serving whom, God is served. And by betraying whom, God is betrayed. In whom, by having affection, affection for God is developed. And by breaking affection with whom, affection for God is broken, it means that. So, by making a resolve towards him, a resolve is made towards God. And a resolve is made towards God, so he gets the happiness of Akshardham. And if a weak resolve arises towards him, then he gets the misery of hell. Like that. So, the meaning of making a good resolve in Kaliyuga is this. If one only does good, then good certainly happens, bad never happens. Even if one makes a good resolve, the happiness of Akshardham comes, that comes specially in this, otherwise it does not. It does not come in common. Like that. Therefore, when the jiva sometimes desires something due to the awakening of old vasana because of the fluctuation of the three gunas like sattva, etc., or due to such special reasons, and also makes corresponding efforts, Ji... God does not stop the initiation. He stops the action a little bit. If it is related to the world, then God applies brakes in the form of prarabdha, that 'this is your prarabdha and your capacity' 'is not this much, so now you cannot do it.' Even if it is a good deed. But if it is a good deed, and if he desires it very much, then God fulfills it. If it is a good deed, a meritorious deed, then He fulfills it. And if it is related to God, then in that, God Himself gets to work and gets it fulfilled. But why does a good resolve not last long? From within, we do not... what did Maharaj say about it? That divine nature, and that nature, weak nature. If he has a divine nature, then his good resolves last longer. And, if our past karmas are a little weak and do not support us, then they do not, they do not last long. So, to make them last, we have to work harder. Everyone's, everyone's antahkaran is not the same. Someone is there, his natural, grip is such that he walks on the path of God. And some cannot walk. The reason for that is, that he, his past samskaras are not very strong. Even if we make a good resolve, then who averts it? Samskaras.
