Aum.<br><br>BH\u0100SHYA<br>Divine laws cannot be avoided. They do not rule us from above but are wrought into our very nature. Even death cannot efface the karma created by evil deeds. Good con\u00adduct alone can resolve woeful karmas. Therefore, it is essential that we learn and adhere to good conduct. Good people are the best teachers of good conduct, and should be sought out and heeded when we need help or advice. Talk with them, the wise ones, and in good judgment be guided accordingly. Ethical scriptures should be read and studied regularly and their wisdom followed. The loud voice of our soul, ever heard within our conscience, is a worthy guide. When we grasp the subtle mechanism of karma, we wisely fol\u00adlow the good path. Good conduct, or sad\u0101ch\u0101ra, for the Hin\u00addu is summarized in five ob\u00adli\u00adgatory duties, called pa\u00f1cha nitya karmas: virtuous living, dhar\u00adma; worship, up\u0101san\u0101; holy days, utsava; pilgrimage, t\u012br\u00adtha\u00ad\u00ady\u0101tr\u0101; and sacraments, sa\u1e41\u00adsk\u0101ras. The Vedas offer this guidance, \u201cIf you have doubt concerning conduct, follow the example of high souls who are competent to judge, devout, not led by oth\u00ad\u00aders, not harsh, but lovers of virtue.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Whom Is Good Conduct Learned? \u015aLOKA 63The first teacher in matters of good conduct is our conscience.
