Knowledge of LAW OF KARMA is essential for success in spiritual life
HOW DOES THIS WORK?——- EVERY ACTION LEAVE A TRACE OR ” IMPRINT EVERY THING WHICH HAPPENS HAS A CAUSE OR REASON;
NOTHING HAPPENS OR COMES INTO EXISTENCE WITHOUT A REASON. ON THE BASIS OF LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT,
THE LAW OF KARMA EXPLAIN —– –THE CONNECTION BETWEEN A PERSON’S OWN ACTIONS AND HIS OR HER DESTINY: “EVERY ACTION (KARMA) HAS ITS EQUAL AND IDENTICAL REACTION”. THE RESULTS OR “FRUITS”OF A PERSON’S ACTION RETURN SOONER OR LATER TO HIM OR HER.
‘WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND ” OR; ” A MAN REAPS WHAT HE SOWS. THUS , EACH ONE OF US IS TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER BE FALLS ON US.
TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WILL LIKE TO BE TREATED
THE WAY WE TREAT OTHERS IS THE MEASURE WE WILL BE TREATED IN RETURN.
KINDNESS TO FELLOW BEINGS WILL BE RETURNED AS KINDNESS; BUT IF WE HARM OUR FELLOW BEING AND MAKE THEM SUFFER, THIS DEED WILL ULTIMATELY RETURN TO US AND WE WILL SUFFER EXACTLY THE SAME THING TO THE SAME EXTENT.
THE MORE IMPRESSION WE ACCUMULATE ON OUR SOUL FROM OUR ACTIONS, THE MORE REACTIONS WE HAVE TO BEAR. (THIS APPLIES NOT ONLY TO PHYSICAL ACTIONS, BUT ALSO TO THE THOUGHT AND SPEECH: WHETHER NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE )
OUR THOUGHTS ARE REFLECTED IN OUR WHOLE BEING AND CAUSE OTHER TO REACT IN A SIMILAR MANNER. IT MAY TAKE TIME OR EVEN SEVERAL LIFE TIMES (i.e “GENERATIONS”) , FOR THE CORRESPONDING BENEFICIAL OR DETRIMENTAL EFFECT OF AN ACTION TO ‘RIPEN” AND RETURN TO THE DOER. THUS, THE LAW OF KARMA IS THE EXPLANATION FOR APPARENTLY UN- EXPLAINABLE CRUELTIES AND UNFAIR DESTINIES LIKE THE MURDER OF INNOCENTS,, OR CHILDREN BORN WITH HANDICAPS.
KARMA i.e ACTIONS AND ITS RESULTS ARE THE SOURCE OF BOTH SUFFERING AND HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD. TAKING THE LAW OF KARMA IN TO CONSIDERATION CAN INSPIRE US TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR LIVES AND ACT WISELY.

MAN NEEDS TO ACCEPT THE KARMIC LAW IN THOUGHTS, SPEECH, AND ACTION, IF HE WANTS TO FOLLOW THE PATH OF SPIRITUALITY; THERE IS NO WAY TO UNION WITH GOD WITHOUT THE LAW OF KARMA.–
THREE KIND of KARMA——-;
(1) KRIYAMANA or Agami (Action being done in the present life )
(2) PRABDHA (So much of past action has given rise to the present birth )
(3) SANCHITA (Balance of past action that will give rise to the future births, the store house of accumulated action )
What ever ,we do in this life becomes FATE for our next life; and some of this is kept in reserve by KARMIC LAW to be given to us, .
At present , we are acting in a dual function—
. (a) In regard to FATE, we are helpless;
but, ( b) in new actions we have a free hand to sow for the future.
.Cutting the root of KARMA—
All actions are performed with a motive , and it is the motive which binds us.
By doing the actions , however good, there is no escape. Charity, offering or pilgrimages must bring their rewards, and the soul doing these things must receive the reward in one incarnation or another.
The escape of the Karma lies in the protection afforded by the SAINTS. SAINTS are themselves KARMA-LESS. Their actions are not binding on them , for their spirits work from, a center DASHWADWAR above the three spheres of mind and forms , SAINTS show us the way out. They say, ” Let new actions be performed in the name of the MASTER (Guru) , the individual working in the capacity of an agent only. ” The new actions done in this spirit will not be binding. The fate actions will have be undergone by the time the life comes to an end; as for the reserve actions, the saints partly take them upon themselves ( i.e. they make them ineffective by the sound current ), and some are undergone by the devotees, as the saint think proper.
