Does having a mere good intention to serve God lead to any fruit in Nivrutti?

[Smt. Priyanka asked: When it comes to fruits related to Nivrutti, we learned about Nishkaama karma yoga (doing service and sacrifice to God with only love towards God, without any desire for fruits in return). But Swami, please forgive me for talking about the fruits of Nivrutti just for the sake of this question. The question is - we learned about karma yoga as the only way that gives fruits in Nivrutti. The first step is knowledge leading to devotion, which should automatically lead to karma yoga, which is service and sacrifice to God. Having mere emotions or thoughts in Nivrutti is not enough, even though it helps develop devotion and is a pre-requisite for any action. Ultimately, the action or karma yoga only provides proof of real towards God, and gives fruits in Nivrutti. Sometimes, devotees may have good intentions of service and sacrifice, but, it may or may not lead to proving their love towards God due to different reasons. In this case, does having a mere good intention to serve God lead to any fruit in Nivrutti? Is the concept of fruits for the intention and thinking related to Pravrutti only? And is this concept limited to wrong or bad intentions only and does not apply to good intentions at all? Can You please clarify this point as well, Swami?]

Swami Replied:- Good intentions without followed good actions in Pravrutti will take the soul to heaven where god Indra will advise the soul to do good actions also so that the soul can get practically good fruits in Pravrutti. The same person in Nivrutti will go to the abode of God where God will advise the soul to do good actions also so that the soul can get practically good fruits in Nivrutti. Similarly, a person having bad intentions and good actions in Pravrutti or Nivrutti will be taken to hell and will be advised to do good intentions in good actions. All these cases will not have fruits practically. Only theoretical advices will be given to them.
