Even the greatest sinner is good if he is His devotee

[dattaswami]

Even the greatest sinner is good if he is His devotee

Gita says that even the greatest sinner – is good if he is His devotee,
Gita further says that such a sinner - becomes shortly a good person.
The devotee will not become good – simply by singing songs on God
To attain boons from God, – it is a crude primary stage in devotion.
A devotee will try to study the nature – of God in advanced devotion.
The devotee gradually becomes interested – to know the nature of God.
As time proceeds, he looses interest in himself, – interested in God only.
It is the main part of spiritual knowledge, – which is of three items.
Knowledge of God, path to please God – and soul as non-God item
Constitutes Triputi of divine knowledge, – this turns devotee good.

 

[Paidion]

What good is he, if he is still the greatest sinner? When one changes his mind and heart about the way he lives, and becomes a disciple of Jesus, he is regenerated and transformed by the power of God, so that he is truly good.

The knowledge of God avoids crime and corruption in devotee

What good is he, if he is still the greatest sinner? When one changes his mind and heart about the way he lives, and becomes a disciple of Jesus, he is regenerated and transformed by the power of God, so that he is truly good.

The knowledge of God avoids crime and corruption in devotee

Now the criminal nature is put off, – society becomes peaceful.
Similarly the devotee will not be corrupt – by knowing God’s nature.
God will give you whatever is necessary – at the appropriate time.
You are His devotee, why to worry? – no need of corruption.
Even if you accumulate wealth, – it may harm your family.
Your child may be spoiled due wealth, – then wealth is harmful.
Yes, the wealth is terrible poison, – if it is earned by corruption.
God may bless your child directly – to earn infinite wealth here,
If He is pleased with your selfless service, - which is better?
The knowledge of God avoids – crime and corruption in devotee.

If individuals are transformed – the society is perfectly peaceful.
You cannot control crime and corruption – by employing controllers.
Controllers become criminal and corrupt, – no end to your effort.
Ancient kings supported – the propagation of spiritual knowledge.
It could control the sin, – crime and corruption are the two halves of
The sin, you are spending ten times – on employing controllers, but
There is no trace of control, - spend a small part of it on scholars
To propagate spiritual knowledge, – the sin is controlled fully.

In the name of secularism – the present Government neglects
This aspect and tries to cure – symptom of disease but not cause.

What good is knowledge?

Even if you are knowledgeable your desires will still overcome your reasoning.


Knowledge isn't power, it is understanding of fear. The more you know the more you fear,

And the more you know the more guilty you feel when you sin.


having knowledge doesn't mean your suddenly this new awesome God person like Paul. That comes from your acts and from your heart, only a change in your heart by Following Jesus will make you a more godly person, bearing the fruit of the spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 is the way to being Godly, not knowing more

What is divine knowledge?

The Knowledge given by the Lord in human form like the Bible, Gita etc is divine knowledge. If the concept of human incarnation is realized, the divine knowledge is recognized. If people can believe in Krishna, Jesus etc as the Lord in human form, the Gita, Bible etc are recognized as the divine knowledge. But the problem is that there are several interpretations of such divine scriptures. These interpretations are contradicting each other. These interpretations are given by different human beings and no human being can decide the correct interpretation. You yourself cannot decide the correct interpretation because you are also a human being. Therefore the original author of that sacred scripture alone can convince you with the correct interpretation. Such correct interpretation is called as the real divine knowledge. For this you have to recognize the human form of the Lord present in your generation. The identity of such recognition is revealed to your inner self, which gets convinced by such real interpretation. The identification must be aided by your careful and patient analytical faculty of the intelligence called as buddhi. Even an illiterate person has this inner self and the analytical faculty even in the absence of language.
