The superconscious mind, the mind of our soul, knows and inspires good conduct, out of which comes a re\u00adfined, sustainable culture. Wrong\u00addoing and vice lead us away from God, deep into the darkness of doubt, despair and self-condemnation. This brings the asuras around us. We are out of harmony with ourselves and our family and must seek com\u00adpan\u00adionship elsewhere, amongst those who are al\u00adso crude, unmindful, greedy and lacking in self-control. In this bad company, burdensome new karma is created, as good conduct cannot be followed. This p\u0101pa ac\u00adcum\u00adulates, blinding us to the religious life we once lived. Pen\u00adance and throwing ourselves upon the mercy of God and the Gods are the only re\u00adlease for the unvirtuous, those who conduct them\u00adselves poorly. Fortunately, our Gods are compassionate and love their devotees.
