Premanand Maharaj Ji
Does chanting or charity count if I cheat and hurt others?
Showy devotion with deceit does not save
Someone who deceives and hurts others, follows his own whims, and turns the mala or gives in charity for show will go to hell, and his welfare will not come about. His chanting will not work while he gives pain to others. Fix your conduct, cause no one suffering, and then the Ram Ram you say takes you across the ocean of worldly life.
One who cheats others, hurts others and acts on his own whims, who turns the mala or gives in charity only for show, will go to hell.
