Salam, Here i past some of the lines i have selected from "The Book of Destiny" by G. A. Par e!

" Everything in the universe, with the exception of man, must- and doesobey the laws of nature Therefore, every event in the universe takes place within the bounds of these laws. It is known as The !aw of "#$%E #nd E&&E"T' in general, and The !aw of (E%$!T of #ctions' in particular reference to the human world, i.e., each and every act by man- even his thoughts- produces a result. The whole universe is bound but man is not. The basic difference between man and the rest of creation is that the universe is forced and bound to follow the laws of nature while man is not. )e is free to choose- either to live by these or any other laws. *an is free to choose the laws he wishes to live by+ but the must bear the conse,uences of his choice. &or instance, one is free to consume poison as well as sugar, but the natural effect of one cannot be replaced by that of the other. That is beyond man. This state of the !aws of -ature is applicable to man's earthly life as well as the hereafter. *an has not .and cannot/ set standards to the universe. %tandards have been set to all things in the universe 0by 1od2. # law is different from an order3 law is based upon its consistency .if you do this that will #!4#5% happen/. 6rder is a decision. # master issues a variety of orders to his servants therefore orders are decisions which are sub7ect to change. 8ut when an order .decision/ become consistent .with no possibility of change/, it becomes law .unchangeable decision/. #llah's decisions about the universe .standards and measures/ are unchangeable.

#llah's promises are nothing but )is !aws and keeping promises means that the !aws are permanent and consistent. #llah cannot contradict )imself .)is !aws and 9ecisions:/ #llah makes )imself a reliable #llah that can be trusted and despite having power to break )is !aws, )e doesn't. *an is created responsible for all his actions which conse,uently bear results. The entire system of (eward and ;unishment rests on man's being responsible for his actions. (esponsibility has to come from freedom of choice. 5ou are free to do whatever you wish but not free to alter the natural result of that action. 5ou can't follow path # and expect to end up at the other end of path 8. Every action has a set reaction. <Ta,deer< is -ature's law which becomes functional according to the action taken by *an. Thus, permanent values work on man's personality 7ust as physical laws do on his body. The law of cause and effect in both domains are natural and divine. ;ermanent values came to man through 9ivine (evelation. 5our destiny is what you do: "hance is nothing but lack of knowledge: It has been stated that, according to the !aw of (eturns, the time gap between ac action and the manifestation of its result is a period of respite termed as <a7al< in the =ur'an. The waiting period .respite/ between a human action and its result really comprises of transitory phases unobservable by man. )e can only notice the destination of an event and not the transitory phases.

6ur actions are unnoticeably moving towards their destination. #bsolute 1ood and Evil standard i.e., good is which develops and integrates the human personality+ and evil is that disintegrates and damages it, since the human personality is non-physical. The standard of 1ood and Evil for the human personality, therefore is the ;ermanent >alues .*orality/. "onscience' is 7ust the code of behavior learnt during early years of a child. It varies from one society to another, one time to another. *en cannot sometimes see the truth because material benefits are readily achievable and the 1ood takes a while in materiali?ing+ such men are hasty. "lash with evil brings out the good in man. This is known as the development of the self .personality/. *an is free to choose one of the two paths but is not free to choose the destination .result/. *an is free to choose his action but is not free to change the natural conse,uences of that action.
