others, and who enjoys living with his family and friends, will have to reap the fruits of the mistakes accumulated during his lifetime. violence and inequity.

For example, if a man gets money by killing someone and uses it to support his family, those who benefit from these obscure gains must also take some responsibility, and for that reason go to hell. ; but the head of the family will be particularly chastised. The result of material enjoyment is that one brings with oneself the consequence of sin, but not money. The money that we have been able to earn remains in this world, and we keep only the following of sin with us. One can see even in this world that if a person commits a murder for money, his family will not be hanged, even if the fault affects him. But the man who was guilty of murder and who maintained his family with the money thus earned is, for his part, well hanged for his crime. The one who has directly done wrong is naturally more responsible for the fault committed than those who benefited from it indirectly. That is why it is better to spend what you have for the cause of God, the Supreme Person, since you can not take your possessions with you into the next world.

If, rather than using it to obtain liberation, the being uses it only to maintain his alleged family, and for this purpose indulges in foolish acts contrary to any authorized way, he becomes like a a man who would have lost his fortune and who would feel sorry for it. Once the money is lost, there is no point in whining about it, but as long as it is still in its possession, it must be used properly and thus derive an eternal benefit. The following argument can be made here: when a man leaves behind the money he has acquired by committing various faults, he also discharges his culpable activities. But according to arrangements made at a higher level, the man carries with him the effects of his faults, although he leaves behind him the money he acquired dishonestly. If, for example, a man steals money, stops it and agrees to give back the money he has taken, he will not escape the punishment he is due. According to the law of the state,
