be a wrong remedy, but worsens the situation further. An important point which needs to
be emphasized here is that Man habitually forgets the actions performed by him in the

past. However, when he faces the results of those actions in the form of sorrow and pain,
he does not make efforts to understand and even avoids accepting the underlying truth

that the root cause of all the bad events in his life are the results of his past actions. Man
must realise that the truth never loses its truthfulness nor can its results be avoided, no

matter how vigorously the truth is denied. It is therefore essential for every person in the
world to realise that by not accepting the above mentioned truth, he only tries to avoid

his responsibilities and ignorantly attributes the result of his past actions to his fate.
Thus, if Man has accumulated Pāpa in his Divine Invisible Bank, his life is full of sorrow,

grief and misery, but if he has abundance of Punya in his Divine Invisible Bank, he is
bound to experience a happy, prosperous, successful and contented life. In fact happy,

successful people seldom realise that it is only on the strength of their accumulated
Punya together with their efforts that they experience a good, prosperous life. However,

people forget the truth that they enjoy happy and successful life mainly because they are
utilising Punya in their Divine Invisible Bank and that the Punya so consumed has to be

replenished, if they wish to continue with their happy life. If they fail to understand this
truth and continue to spend Punya to live a good, happy life without replenishing it, a

time will come when the balance of Punya in their Divine Invisible Bank will be depleted
and they will become bankrupt in terms of Punya. The result of this bankruptcy is that

the accumulated Pāpa in the Divine Invisible Bank starts influencing their lives, as a
result of which they experience ill effects of Pāpa and eventually their lives become

miserable and unsuccessful. Their efforts, and other factors are not sufficient to help
them in this situation because of their bankruptcy, in terms of Punya, in the Divine

Invisible Bank.
Festival of Joy

As stated earlier, the omnipresent God manifests himself in the universe as a
beautiful systematised order which is very proportionate and magnificiently planned. Just

as this systematised order exists everywhere in the universe, similarly this same order
exists also in the form of the human body. The intention of this systematised order is

that, everywhere in the universe, there should be a festival of joy which should also
manifest itself through human life. In this context, it is necessary to understand the

difference between real joy and deceptive joy. The joy which gives birth to joy is the real
joy. On the contrary, the so-called joy which generates sorrow is the deceptive form of
