Why is it important to always follow the divine injunctions? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today.

One may have immense faith in God. But from time to time, the power of maya may undermine this faith. In Mahabharata, even staunch devotees of Krishna like Dharmaja and Arjuna displayed hesitancy in acting up to the advice of Krishna and had to be taught their duty through Bhishma and Draupadi respectively. Faith in God should never waver. In no circumstance should anyone go against the injunctions of the Divine because the Divine has no selfish objective or aim. Whatever worship one may offer, however intensely one may meditate, if one transgresses the commands of the Lord, these devotional practices become futile. It is out of small-minded selfish motives that people act against the sacred commands of the Lord. Even small acts of transgression may in due course assume dangerous proportions.
