The prosperity enjoyed by some and the agony experienced by others, make devotees wonder whether God showers His compassion only on those whom He likes and is unkind to those who incur His displeasure.These skeptics should just analyse the causes that make God appear to show much such a differential treatment if God appears to be angry towards some and dislikes them,the reason lies only with the people themselves,because of their defiance of the directives given by Him.God has prescribed a Constitution for mankind and if its laws are violated,naturally He will be Unhappily.Hence people should not blame the Almighty for their own defaults;if so,they can be likened to youngsters who, refusing to be disciplined, not attending to their study and disobeying their parents,complain that the latter are not favourably disposed towards them.
In a discourse,Sri Abhinava Vidya Thirtha,Sringeri Sankarcharya said everyman,to the extent possible and with sincerity,should follow the injunctions contained in the sastras.He should abide by the Law of Dharma,undertake to carry out the specific duties enjoined upon him and refrain from doing prohibited acts.For this, he should know what constitutes Dharma and what Adharma means.What is good for him and what is to be abjured as evil and vice are laid down in scriptural texts.One of man's essential duties is to respect his aged parents and attend to their comforts instead of neglecting them, considering them as a burden.For this, certain rites and austerities ought to be conducted by him,daily and on specified occasions,certain deeds are to be practised,like helping a brilliant but poor student.All his acts should be considered as a dedication to God.
