Karma

In talking with Vishal the other night; I was dejected to know about some not-so-good incidents in one of my friend’s life. The recurrent question arose regarding Karma… Why did that thing happen to him… what did he do to deserve that… why is he been suffering… why it keeps on happening one after another…

Our karma is determined by how we react… how we deal with the events and the actions of others. If we return love and kindness for hatred and spite; we will surely smooth the path of our own consciousness. Perhaps the events around us; the events outside of our control may flame into greater fury… but the only thing we have any real control over… is our own state of mind. Events outside of our control are always affecting us; in a neutral and non-specific manner… That is fate or the god is testing us… or throwing things into our paths. However; we must inevitably deal with adverse events… whether physical; emotional or psychological. Our immediate reaction to these events is the seed upon which our future instantly begins to crystallize.

We have all sinned and deserve God's judgment. What goes around… comes around. As a man sows… so shall he also reap... That's the LAW OF GOD and we shouldn’t mess with it.

Seems to me that we all are able to walk up to the edge of a moral precipice… look over… think how cool it would be to just fly off the edge but then decide that it's something we simply cannot do. If we want to believe in karma in the sense of a burden carried between incarnations, perhaps then we can look into our present life and evaluate ourselves. Did we learn something about our self and about life from the experience…Maybe we have definite thoughts about whether we will ever again knowingly get involved into something which have caused us for serious regret and guilt.

Lies; Fights; Cheats; Jealousy; Ego; Immoral Acts… we are all guilty in our lives. But what lightens my remorse is the phrase from Holy Bible… Jesus says – “Forgive them; they don’t know what they are doing”
