Doing Good

If you lead a virtuous life, when you die, you will die as a good person. You will not become a saint. You will not attain liberation. There are many good people, but only a handful of saints. Good people can be graded as good, better, or best. In sainthood, all are the same. Good people still have some selfishness in them. Saints see everything as extensions of themselves. Being good is better than just being human. To become a saint requires detachment, dispassion, and a correct attitude in life. In the end, with God’s grace, you will attain your goal. — Satish Daryanani
