About the topic: You have been told that you will go to hell if you accumulate sins and to heaven if you gain merits. Society simply uses these concepts to control you through fear of hell and greed of heaven. When you are caught in fear, naturally you are ready to do what society tells you. You are under the control of society. There is no hell or heaven existing physically somewhere. Hell and heaven are psychological states of our mind. When you think good thoughts, when you do good needs, you feel good and you are in heaven, when you think evil, when you act evil, you feel evil, you are in hell. That is all. This is the cosmic cause and effect principle. When you realize that the whole universe is energy, you will understand it is a living existence. The universe of which our solar system is a very small part has constant creative and constant rejunuvation. If you look little deeply, we invite not only the physical diseases but also the accidents as well. The problem is that our thinking is so unconscious we are not able to connect the cause and effect. You are what your intent is .you become what your intent
