Is God Punishing Us Now?

The sudden cataclysms that occur in nature, creating havoc and mass injury, are not ‘acts of God.’ Such disasters result from the thoughts and actions of man. Wherever the world’s vibratory balance of good and evil is disturbed by an accumulation of harmful vibrations, the result of man’s wrong thinking and wrong doing, you will see devastation....

The world will continue to have...natural calamities until all people correct their wrong thoughts and behavior...

When materiality predominates in man’s consciousness, there is an emission of subtle negative rays; their cumulative power disturb the electrical balance of nature, and that is when earthquakes, floods, and other disasters happen. God is not responsible for them! Man's thoughts have to be controlled before nature can be controlled...

"He who ignores the scriptural commands and who follows his own foolish desires does not find happiness pr perfection or the infinite Goal. Take the scriptures as your guide in determining what should be done and what should vbe avoided. Act in accordance with the wisdom given in the holy books." (Bhagavad Gita 16-23-24)
