Theory of Karma - Chapter 1 1. GAHANA KARMANO GATIHI The track (GATIHI) of KARMA (ACTION) is mysterious (GAHANA).

Lord Shri Krishna has himself proclaimed in Geeta that it is difficult to understand th intricacies and indefinite extent and shape of Karma (Action), as it is so complicated intricate, zigzag, unfathomable, dynamic, inscrutable and mysterious because the lif The trail of Karma (Action) is jagged and intractable.

Shri Sudama, a friend of Lord Krishna says about the complex nature of Karma as u The working of Karma seems so complex We two, the students of the same Guru (Teacher). He (Krishna) became the king of this earth While I have nothing even to eat. He used to play with monkeys in Gokul And used to fetch wood at teacher's house. Now he sits on the throne today While I possess only a begging bowl and a stick in hand.

Thus, nobody can escape or avoid the punishment for his sinful actions even after 5 hundred births.

Thus there is neither delay nor any chaos or con the realm of God. God is full of both mercy and justice. There are innumerable such and episodes in our scriptures and also in our day-to-day life propounding this doctr Karma that "as you sow, so shall you reap" the fruits either immediately or in due co time as and when they become ripe - either in the present life or in the subsequent births to come.

Unfortunately, while exhausting his pred Prarabdha Karmas during one lifetime, he creates and accumulates many more new during the same lifetime which are again deposited in the stock of his previous Sanc Karmas and this situation is repeated in every birth. Thus the vicious cycle goes on uninterruptedly increasing, instead of decreasing, the total balance of Sanchit Karm end of each birth. The stock of Sanchit Karmas is increasing by leaps and bounds a accumulation is much more than the expenditure during each birth and there is no e process. Therefore, the cycle of birth and death goes on indefinitely and there does appear to be any hope of chance for liberation of emancipation. Recognising this, Shri Shankaracharya has humbly requested God as under: PUNARAPI JANANAM PUNARAPI MARANAM PUNARAPI JANANI JATHARE SHAYANAM. IHA SANSARE KHALU DUSTARE KRUPAYA PARE PAHI MURARE.

It is the most fundamental principle of this law that happiness is the direct result of p deeds (Punya Karmas) and unhappiness is the direct result of the sinful deeds (Pap Karmas). There can never be happiness without pious deeds (Punya Karmas) unhappiness without sinful deeds (Pap Karmas). Just for an example -

In villages, people keep storage tanks - barrels. storage tins, silo (known as Kothi in the storage and preservation of corn grain. Corn grain is added in the barrel from the top and taken out when required through a hole at the bottom of the barrel. barrel of Mr. A is full of barley (inferior corn) and Mr. B's barrel is full of wheat (superior corn).

Mr. A is, therefore, surprised worried as to why he gets barley even when he is adding wheat in his barrel and why Mr. B who is adding barley in his barrel is still getting wheat from the bottom in fact, for Mr. A there is nothing to be surprised or worried. This happens because Mr. A is ignorant of the fact that he has previously earned and accumulate his barrel and so long as that stock of barley is not fully exhausted he is not going to get from the bottom hole wheat which he is at present adding from the top barrel.

Theory of Karma - Chapter 28 28. ACTIONS PERFORMED WITHOUT ANY EGO OF DOING-DOER

In a battle-field (crusade) a warrior slaughters so many persons under the orders of commander-in-chief as a part of his duty to kill the enemies, dangerous to the socie and hence this action of the warrior, void of any ego, does not bind him in the cycle and death. Devoid of self-pride arising from l-doism when one takes activities within of fairness, justice and righteous conduct, in the spirit of his self-apparent duties, then he is not trapped or enslaved by such actions. those Kriyaman Karmas wrapped up in self-pride and sense of self-importance and with egoistic mentality are added as Sanchit Karmas and they are to be faced as Pr when matured and ripened in subsequent births.

The seeker of Knowledge and Truth is like a thief in one very significant respect. If a else comes to know what he is about, then that in itself will become a hindrance in h for the Truth.

In manner, other exalted souls in recent times such as Bhikshu Akhandanand and Gan staunch disciple Shri Thakkar Bapa, have also shown noble and exemplary courage confessing to their adulterous misadventures in their written self-documentaries. By their own soul through such public confessions and with full self-contrition, they hav unburdened themselves from the onerous Karmic effects of their misconceived actio such great sages as Vyasa and Narada have courageously and uncompromisingly a the so-called blemished and dubious past of their own mothers, thereby exposing th to public censure and ridicule. But ironically, their very courage and candour in expo truth spared them from public ridicule, while those of us who painstakingly strive to h blemishes and misdeeds committed consciously but stealthily have to carry the full the painful consequences just as soon as they catch up with us.
