After having done one's duty, one should leave the outcome to Rama.

Even when Sri Maharaj exposed a person's faults, he did so with such tact that the person's feeling was not hurt. Because the mind is an aspect of God, hurting someone's sensibility is tantamount to hurting God. Sri Maharaj used to say that a Sadhaka (seeker) should never hurt the feelings of anyone.
A young boy, although grown to twenty years of age, did not engage himself in any work, nor was he interested in pursuing studies. His mother therefore used to suffer mental anguish. Sri Maharaj spoke to a well-meaning bank officer, who got the boy a job in a factory. After some days the owner of the factory said to the officer, "The boy left the factory without informing anyone. Besides, he also misbehaved. You should not have recommended such a boy to us." These remarks hurt the officer. He decided that he would never again get involved in finding employment for anyone. He felt that he had been insulted for no reason at all. Soon after, he happened to meet Sri Maharaj, when the latter said, "Suppose we build a large bungalow and employ a gardener to raise a garden. The gardener plants many saplings. Some of them die. He therefore becomes dejected, and decides that he will no longer plant any trees.Will this make practical sense? It is his job to plant flowering shrubs. He should carry it out. He should not feel sorry because some of those may wither and die: he should, on the other hand, consider that those that flower do so by the Grace of God."With these words of Sri Mharaj, the officer quickly overcame his dejection and regained normalcy of nature.
