Your conscience will prick you severely and your heart will bleed when you come to your senses. Your heart should bleed through repentance. Only then can you purify yourself. The habit of taking bribes is very common. This income is nothing but bribes.
People are ignorant.
Even the so-called educated people have no idea of the law of action and reaction, of impressions of the subconscious mind and their force. If you take bribes, you will be punished for such wrong actions. The impression of taking bribes will force you to repeat this habit even in the next birth, and you will become a dishonest man again. Your thoughts and actions are registered in the subconscious mind. You will carry your dishonesty from birth to birth and undergo great suffering.
