Devotion to God will always give good fruits not only in this world but also in the upper world because God is the ultimate controller of the entire creation. The success in this worldly life and success in spiritual life-both are in the hands of God only. People misunderstand that the spiritual life will spoil the worldly life. This is utter nonsense. The same God is Lord for both lives and is the Lord for all the worlds and all the souls.
If you are pleasing God through spiritual line, both salvation and success in this world are certainly after you. God is omniscient as well as omnipotent, people say that God Datta is the destroyer (Dattaṃ chinnam). This statement does not say what is destroyed by Him. Real scholars will say that misery in this worldly life as well as misery in the upper worlds (like going to hell) is destroyed, false scholars say that the worldly life is destroyed.
Why do they say so? They are egoistic and do not tolerate the happiness of a devotee granted by God Datta here as well as there since they are jealous about the true devotee of God Datta. They want to pull back the legs of the devotee through such additional statements. Hence, the devotee must not be emotional only but also should have sharp logic based spiritual knowledge.
Will devotion to God spoil the worldly life?
