Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 16
There is one more vital point, which needs attention. A man cannot totally renounce, divine traits. How to know this fact? If a man, decides to speak the truth, he could speak the truth, throughout his life. But if he decides to tell a lie, even for a day, he cannot do so. If someone asks him, whether he is hungry, and he tells a lie, by saying that he is not, he will, have to face a lot of difficulty. But if a person takes an oath, to tell a lie, even if he dies, his oath will prove to be true. Similar, is the case with other divine traits, because all of these are eternal, and natural. A striver, has only to renounce his attachment for the perishable, because attachment to it is assumed, not natural.
Demoniac nature, is unnatural, it appears and disappears, while divine nature is natural. If a man has bad conduct, everybody asks him, why he is behaving, badly. But, no one asks him the reason, when his conduct, is good.
