On the other hand, the God-oriented life is
one in which man considers himself
subservient to God. He moulds his feelings
and emotions according to God’s
commands. To such a person a successful
life is one in which one lives and dies in
accordance with God’s pleasure.
On the contrary, the self-oriented way of life
engenders such feelings as pride, jealousy,
malice and egoism. Man comes to think that
truth is what he believes and falsehood is
what he rejects.
However, the case of the God-oriented life
is completely the opposite, in that it
promotes an awakening of such feelings as
the willingness to serve, devotion, humility,
gratitude and accountability. If in the first
case, man becomes a self-worshipper, in the
other, he becomes a God-worshipper.
