What is Karma or Karmic debt? The accumulated karmic tendencies, inherited in the course of previous lives. This is the prevalent Karma Theory. Karma serves as a deterrent! Because of consequences people try to do good karma so they can reap good fruit in present life and next life. No issue in the doctrine which motivates people for good action. However, Karma is not that simple.
Karma is an evolution process for mankind! We need to break karmic pattern to get out from the trap. Goal is only to elevate humane essence. Happiness and miseries are a part of life. Most of the time we run towards the solution without understanding the problem due to lack of clarity about the real problem.
Ignorance or not knowing things as they truly are, is the chief cause of Karma. That ‘why patch work done every now and then instead of concrete solution. Solution doesn’t mean to end the problem once and for all. But it works as a stepping stone for internal growth and progression. Your free- choice may not end the suffering at once but you won’t be miserable any more. Intention behind every action should always be the upliftment of life than pursuing the material cause.
Karmic structure is repetitive in nature. Events generally repeat themselves in cycles. Right approach to deal with Karmic pattern is to break limitations and go beyond the limitations.
You need to be consciously aware about the happenings. People around you may not approve this because they don't relate with you the kind of being you are, Now!
Have no fear about the process. Accept everything lovingly and joyfully. It will break your old personality and transform you with great humane possibilities.
Any kind of intentional action whether mental, verbal, or physical, is regarded as Karma. What is the intention behind stealing is more important than the stealing itself? Though, Karma is very complex and intertwined with free-will, destiny, intentional actions, external circumstances, surroundings, personality, individual striving, and so forth.
Was it the Karmic effect or something else that the Jews had gone through the extreme sufferings in Auschwitz extermination centers? Undetermined numbers of people died from overwork, starvation, disease, malnutrition, arbitrary executions, tortures and the list are never ending. Their daily struggle for survival in brutal living conditions. The hardship of life……Millions died because of hunger and malnutrition. Extreme cruelty people were doing to other people. What was the previous Karma of the people that they had to gone through this inhumane sufferings and death? Children even were not spared. Nature’s aggression explodes in a brutal way when it let suffer to babies and small children.
Who is doing mass killing all over the world today? Karma doesn’t see race, ethnicity and culture. May be those days tyrant Nazis are Today’ worst sufferers all around the world by the hands of some other tyrants. Karma works for the redemption of mankind.
People hid their lack of humanity in the excuse of Karma theory. Forget about other’s Karma, What will be your Karma without compassion towards mankind, towards animals, and towards all creatures.
This Sloka explained the humanity very well:
सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः
सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः।
सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चिद्दुःखभाग्भवेत।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥
May all sentient beings be at peace,
may no one suffer from illness,
May all see what is auspicious, may no one suffer.
Om peace, peace, peace.
What was green pastures thousands of years before now a desert and vice-versa. Yesteryear's, Tyrants are today kind and liberal in their ideologies and today's tyrants, suppressors and killers may be yesteryear's suffered, subjugated, and oppressed people.
What was your past is now your present and will become your future? For some time, forget about previous lives, focus on present life. Aim of karma is evolution of mankind and upliftment of human essence. Karma checks how comfortable we are to cross our comfort zone for growth and progression. Everybody has to give Agnipariksha in life and Karma is there to check the humane potential to what extent a humane spirit can strive for betterment.
We tied ourselves in various Karmic bandages in our present life and it’s our responsibility to break it in this lifetime only.
Unless we accept our truth, our weakness, our mistakes, we won’t have clarity in life. Without clarity about ourselves and situations around, there is no free-will, no conscious choice. No appropriate actions could be taken what is supposed to take. Conscious choice-making is the most effective way of creating future consequences.
In Mahabharat, Yudhistera had gone through worst adversities of life because of his unawareness of the world around him. Wailing of Panchali on the day of Dyut, was the extremity of life that one has to suffer in life. We suffer because of our ignorance and unawareness of truth, we always have fear to accept the truth and then life teach us the big lesson in a very strict way to emancipate our spirit from the karmic debt.
Karma is most often explained in terms of cause and effect. What is the cause of the inequality that exists among mankind? Some people born in beggar’s house and some born with silver spoon…………..of course, this is the consequence of previous life Karma. But now onward, how you conduct your life, what choices you make, what actions you do, how you discharge your duty with peace of mind and harmony play a major role in formation of your future. I don’t mean all in materialistically, of course material pursuance is necessary to survive but it shouldn’t over shadow your Inner being.
Your Karmic account determines your ascendant sign you are born with. Then the 12 houses in your horoscope guide your life cycle.
5th house represents one’s Inner self! I would say it is the house of destiny which tells about the purpose of life. And Who decides destiny? Again, your Inner self! Somewhere deep inside in the subconscious, we know our desire, our inclination but avoid it due to various material causes. But destiny finds its way and one day we do it on our own by using free-will. During this time period we perform several actions to go away from predestined goal. This way we create multiple parallel realities. Many different paths may lead to different outcomes or similar outcome as it was destined. Parallel realities exist in uncertainties, fear, insecurity, and ignorance. Once you made a conscious choice the rest are vanished. Similar to wave-particle superposition mechanism.
Ultimate goal is predestined and we choose it consciously using our free-will. Free will is doubtless and free from fear and any worldly compulsion.
Karma is influenced to some extent by external circumstances, surroundings, personality, individual striving, and so forth. What happened within you it must happen with your way. Solution is inside, not outside. Outside events are not in your control. That doesn’t mean to find an easy escape in destiny. You can never reach to inside with clutter of garbage, lies, pretensions, and ignorance. Need to clean up the mess to have the clarity of vision.
Karma is one’s own deeds; it is neither fate, nor predestination imposed upon us by some unknown power. It is we who decides our purpose in life and do actions to achieve that. What we accumulate during present life determines next life purpose and the purpose is same for all. It is the ascension of self from present being.
Disciplined life reduced the effect of Karma. Discipline doesn’t mean routine time-table; it’s mere a small part of it. Self-Discipline is the capacity to restrain our impulses, resist temptation and do things consciously. It is the intent of one's actions that generates karma.
