   praise will go on increasing and in the process they will finally   
   turn out to be inferior people.  Any dishonest people, merely by   
   praising them, can easily get them to perform even bad actions.   
      
   So those persons who do not possess genuine love for God, who are   
   averse to spiritual practice, who only read books and scrounge for   
   bits of intellectual information, who go to listen to the   
   instructions of religious teachers, cannot do any really good work   
   in the world.  And worst of all, those people, by hankering after   
   others' praise, become worse than ordinary people." (HOW AN IDEAL   
   PERSON SHOULD LIVE, Subha's'ita Sam'graha Part 12, Ananda Purnima   
   1979, Calcutta)   
      
   So, remember, God loves all.   
      
   "God has equal love and affection for white ants, mosquitoes and   
   mammoths. Even though a mammoth has a huge body, God shows no   
   special partiality for it. He is as concerned about a tiny mosquito   
   as He is about the entire universe. Although this vast universe,   
   along with the so-called heaven and the so-called hell and this   
   world of mortals, is so complex and vast, God does not devote any   
   extra time to it, nor does He devote any extra time to the tiny ant.   
   Behind every created thing there functions a particular force   
   assigned by the Supreme Consciousness. According to scriptures this   
   force is called divine. Everything has a special manifestation of   
   divine power, a special effulgence radiated from the Supreme   
   Consciousness. Thus no entity should be hated, and none is   
   insignificant.   
      
   The poets say for, God, heaven and hell all become hallowed by the   
   sacred water that has washed Your feet.
