People try to find out the laws and principles of life in order to manipulate them to their own advantage, i.e. so that the good stuff happens to them and not the bad stuff.
This is merely selfishness.
It is not spirituality at all.
We think that if we do the right thing we will be rewarded.
To do the right thing regardless of the consequences is closer to the truth.
Jesus was crucified for testifying to the truth.
The prophets were killed and persecuted.
J.F.K. was shot for trying to implement idealism.
Martin Luther King Jnr. was shot for daring to demand civil rights for black people.
Robert Kennedy was shot for his idealism and vision.
Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated for freeing India.
Anwar Sadat was assassinated for daring to bring peace with Israel.
These are the things which can happen if you challenge the powers of the world.
It is not rewards for good deeds and punishment for bad deeds.
People act out of their own free will.
There are no laws and principles to manipulate.
Only the presence and absence of Love.
