All the religions in the world have prescribed one way or the other for the realization of God--the Immaterial Absolute. They have also given higher ideals of life and most of the people have begun to follow them. As the time went on, they began to peep into other sides as well, because the scythe of time brought about these changes in them.  The environment of the living world began to attract them and the necessities of life compelled them to take the other course.  Arts and crafts also developed and deities of different sorts were carved out by the artists under the name of different Gods and people worshiped them. The wise men of the times, to start with, had to prescribe those modes of worship that may, ultimately, take them to Yoga--the sure-shot of Realisation.  But, according to the laws  of Nature, devolution follows evolution and vice versa.  Their minds did not travel further to the real side with the result that the images became personified God.

All the inventions and discoveries of science are the result of hard work only. We must think and understand that God has sent us with some purpose into this world and that purpose must be useful and wholesome for society.

Whatever may be the sphere of activity of a person, he is expected to discharge his obligations to the best of his ability, honestly, diligently, and with a dedication to God. Every act should be governed by absolute honesty. Everybody must be aware that God is in our heart and he is closely watching our attitude whether the work is carried out with honesty or with corrupt motive and attempt to cheat others. If this righteous conduct is maintained in day-to-day activities, there will be no imbalance in
