Query:
If everything happens according to God then why we commit sins. Why previous birth
Karma influence us... Is it punishment given by "Yama". Out
of Advaita of Adi Shankaracharya, Vishist advaita propogated by Sri Ramanuajacharya
and Dvaita by Madhavacharya... Which is correct? How to practice Karma Yoga? Can
we control Karma?
Vijay
Kumar:
Who says
that "every happening in the Cosmos ... on the Mother Earth is a wish ... a creation
of God. True, everything exists in the Cosmos because someone has created it ...
we may call
it Brahma, Brahman (not Brahmin), Karta, Parmatman or God Almighty.
We may even consider the whole Cosmos to be beginning less ... that also is a
truth. When God created the whole Cosmos ... he created a self-propelling system
... he never interferes in the working of the cosmos ... he is a mere Dhrishta
(an onlooker). Once the Cosmos has been created ... until the dissolution of cosmos
occurs (pralaya as the call it in Hinduism) ... everything moves in the Cosmos
as per the guidelines fixed by God ... none can change or mould the cosmic rules.
And
what are these cosmic rules ... they are the fundamentals on which survives the
whole humanity ... the whole system of the cosmos ... the life of every living
being right from an insect to a human being. Soon
after the occurrence of the Big Bang ... all atmans souls get scattered all over
the Cosmos. These Atmans while traveling accumulate dross within themselves.
As they proceed on cosmic journey ... they can purify and come back to their original
pure pristine form only by passing through the cycle of various manifestations.
Starting as an amoeba (a single cell formation) ... Atman (soul within) subsequently
evolves into insect life, then plant, animal and finally as a human being. This
process of evolution is gradual... it takes a total of 8.4 million
manifestations and a total journey of 96.4 million years before atman the soul
within gets purified ... liberate forever from the cycle
of birth and death ... the form of the human being thus attaining the
level of Moksha Salvation.
During
the process of evolution ... to remove the dross within ... every living being
has to carry out its Karma. It is process of Karma in which sometimes we face
happiness and at other times we suffer. The suffering and the happiness are two
sides of the same coin. They go side by side. If the sufferings did not exist
... how could we have measured happiness ... remaining in one state all the time
... it would be difficult to bear with the monotonous life ... even if it was
happiness throughout. As in our normal lives we sometimes face the sun and at
other times we enjoy the cool breeze ... similarly in the process of evolution
... we have to face the sufferings and also the happiness.
It is a totally different matter that during summers we enjoy the cool breeze
and shun the sun ... whereas in winters we enjoy the sun and do not totally discard
the breeze! For some people likewise a cause may result in a suffering ... whereas
for the other it may be a means to happiness.
Whether
we suffer more or enjoy more of happiness is solely dependent upon the residual
Karma of our past lives and the present life. If we continue doing Punya Karma
then there is no reason that God shall bless us with happiness throughout ...
if we indulge in papa Karma ... insurmountable sufferings await us. In the cosmic
system ... in the Spiritual realm ... it is not like in mathematics that two plus
two is equal to four ... in the cosmic system two plus two is equal to four but
the result of Karma performed in this life may not bear fruit in the present life
... it is possible that for the Karma done in this life we may reap the fruits
four manifestations ahead.
Similarly,
whatever our destiny has in hold for us ... we never know that Karma of which
of our previous lives may bear fruits in this life ... if it is Punya Karma then
we shall get happiness ... if for some reason it is papa Karma ... then we are
bound to suffer in this life because of the deeds of the earlier life. None has
control over this feature of the cosmos ... we cannot continue to blame the circumstances
or the God for whatever we suffer in this life ... it has to be the result of
deeds performed in the earlier lives. It was our doing ... God has got nothing
to do with it.
President
Bush is stated to be (by American themselves ... all newspapers and magazines
compound this fact) an incompetent and an ignorant man ... yet, he is the president
of the superpower number one of the world ... it just cannot be that the deeds
of his present life has brought him to this stage ... it has got to do with the
Punya Karma he must have accumulated in the past lives ... and which are now bearing
fruit. We have many times observed that some people ... from the day they are
born continue to indulge in wanton desires, papa Karma and still, they live a
life of happiness ... we need to understand clearly that they are reaping the
fruits of the residual Punya Karma of past lives.
As
has been stated by Lord
Krishna in Bhagavad Gita... that until hundred sins get completed can
one be punished by God ... it is only when we the cross this limit that we shall
be punished ... at this stage one cannot escape the fury of God ... now is the
time for punishment ... and starts the journey of sufferings for this person.
Similarly, we also have seen in the society that a very gentlemanly person who
has never committed a sin in this life ... seems to suffer all along ... it is
not because of the Karma of his present life that he suffering ... he has definitely
committed some sin in the past lives ... the fruits of which are bearing now.
It is totally unavoidable ... none on Mother Earth or the cosmic system can get
away with it.

If we desire our future manifestations to be without sufferings (rather least
sufferings) then we need to increase Punya Karma compared to the papa Karma ...
it is the residual Karma of all the lives and the present life which shall decide
what shall our fate be in next life ... we also need to remember that it is our
atman the soul within that has taken the body and not vice versa. The sufferings
and the happiness ... all belong to the body ... our atman the soul within is
not the least concerned how we perform our Karma ... yes, our atman the soul within
always prompts us through the sweet small inner voice coming from our heart and
guides us on the right path. Whether we try to follow or not these promptings
of our atman the soul within is entirely unto us.
Our
atman the soul within only desires one thing ... it always prompts the body to
complete the journey at the earliest ... as Moksha Salvation is only possible
in form of a human being ... the sooner the journey is completed ... the better
for atman the soul within. Our atman the soul within also cannot carry out its
purification on its own ... it needs a body to do that.
If
we need to separate one KG of gold from a lump of hundred KG of gold ore then
we require the requisite mining machinery. The one KG of gold cannot purify itself...
it cannot remove the 99% impurities on its own. It has to be passed through various
phases of the mining process before it comes back to its original pristine pure
form. One KG of pure gold is our Atman soul in its pristine pure form ... and
hundred KG of gold ore is the stage of Atman before manifesting the first body
on its cosmic journey.
The process of committing a sin is imbibed within the system as someone has to
suffer ... if there were no sins ... there would not have been any sufferings
... and it would not have been possible for the Cosmos to continue without a break
... and breaks are not permitted in the cosmic system. The sum total of the cosmos
at any point of time always remains zero. If God has the power of plus hundred
then, Satan also has power of minus hundred. It is only when the system gets disturbed
temporarily ... that we suffer natural calamities ... and natural calamities occur
to maintain the balance of the system. They are the release valves of the cosmic
system.
If we observe
the working of a water geyser in a bathroom ... we find that it has a release
valve at the top for emergencies ... if the pressure of the steam increases beyond
limits then the geyser shall not explode and harm us... but the pressure would
be released through the valve provided at the top. Whatever we call suffering
and happiness ... these both feelings ... both experiences ... are but release
valves in the journey of life ... we just cannot do without them. Life would become
so monotonous without sufferings and happiness that it would not be worthwhile
to live.
If you had
put this question to Swami Vivekananda then he would have been very glad to answer
your question ... he never believed in the concept of suffering ... he only did
what he wanted to ... though he did not Realize God in the present life ... that
was not his aim also. Like Mother Teresa he wanted to serve the society physically
... gaining Self Realization takes one much away from the physical realm of life
... one even fails to recognize ... rather willing to admit his own wife and children
as his own. After Self Realization ... all children ... all ladies existing on
Mother Earth are but like sons and daughters of God for him. There is no other
relationship, which holds well.
What are sufferings ... it is our senses which make us feel the sufferings ...
no senses ... no sufferings! Suffering would be there but we may not be able to
feel it. What happens in an operation ... before the surgical operation is conducted
on a human being ... he is given anesthesia ... does it mean that the body is
not suffering ... the body suffers but the human being does not feel it because
of sedation. If there were no sufferings then whenever our body got injured we
would not even come to know of it ... this system of sufferings was created by
God to keep the sufferings in check ... after all there is a limit to which one
can suffer. It is only when the sufferings increase beyond our capacity that we
pray
to God. Normally never before! This is a particular trait of character
of a human being even God fails to understand (;-)
If
we forget for the time being that we are a body ... dwelling in the domain of
Atmans souls ... we find that there is nothing like suffering. Why so? What is
death for the body is in fact a new life for atman the soul within. Ask a schooling
child how happy he feels when he gets a new blazer for the new class. Similarly,
when body dies and atman the soul within awaits a new body ... it is time for
Cheers ... but on Mother Earth ... all hell breaks loose for one of our near and
dear ones has died.
Every
living being has an atman the soul within ... and what is an Atman? It is a miniscule
part of ParmAtman soul, the Almighty God. All Atmans are equal ... it is only
that some Atmans may be in their 8 millionth manifestation and the other two hundred
lives ahead. The intelligence within all Human Beings would always remain the
same because of atman the soul within ... but based on the intellect (Buddhi)
... our capacity to use our brain and also the mind power varies from person to
person. The intellect (Buddhi) is only required to live the physical manifested
part of life ... it is not the least necessary while proceeding on the path of
spirituality. It is primarily the power of faith in the system of God (and that
too absolute faith), which guides and helps us progressing smoothly on the path
of pure Spirituality ... the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi ... the stage of Self
Realization!

Yama, the God of death is primarily a concept ... nothing of such sort ever exists.
If you feel there was one like Shiva ... you are mistaken ... if you feel there
is a Vishnu ... you are again mistaken. All the concepts are required to explain
the various facets of God and his creation. Without personification ... the explanation
would just not be possible. At the time of Mahabharata
it was only Arjuna who was competent to decipher what Lord Krishna was saying.
None other human being on Mother Earth was competent including the other Pandavas
to understand the meaning of words of Lord Krishna. If we need an image in the
temple to worship God ... we also need to personify various powers of God. Be
it Durga or Brahma ... all are different aspects of the same Almighty God, the
Creator of the cosmos.
Remember
that example of five blind people. When they were asked to define an elephant
... the one holding the trunk of the elephant stated that elephant is like a snake
... the one holding the tale stated that elephant is a hairy being ... the one
holding the leg stated that elephant is like a tree and so on. Various people
describing the same thing in a different format ... it is only because of the
ignorance of the blind people. Until, our atman the soul within reaches the 8.4
millionth manifestation ... we are all ignorant to the fact that it is our atman
the soul within which is the only absolute truth in the Cosmos ... the significance
of a body does not hold good ... it shall wither and die in every manifestation.
It is only the power of the residual Karma, which shall be carried on into the
next manifestation through the chromosomes.
As
many people ... as many chains of thought and as many gods exist in this world.
Object remaining the same ... every human being describes it in a different manner.
There is no harm in everybody having a personal God. Who stops us from doing that
(;-)
Vedanta
(the end of the Vedas) is one and only one ... there can never be two ... truth
is only one ... it shall always remain one. The
advaita vedanta propagated by Adi Shankaracharya is the only truth.
God does not have a dual personality. The theories and the concepts put forward
by Ramanujacharya and Madhavacharya have their own flaws ... Advaita Vedanta is
without a flaw ... it is purely flawless ... it is the essence of Bhagavad Gita
as preached by Lord Krishna.
There
are many ... not one, two but in millions ... who may refute bluntly whatever
I have stated above ... who cares ... I have realized my real self ... I have
seen the truth in its entirety ... the whole humanity on one side ... I know I
am never wrong now... for I have realized self ... I have Realized God.
It is as simple as that
... to view the whole of New York City ... we need to climb to the top of Empire
State building ... standing on the 31st and the 51st floor ... the whole view
shall never be available to us. We need to climb to the top ... we need to awaken
our kundalini fully ... we need to practice Celibacy for a continuous period of
12 years ... only then shall we be able to Realize God and assimilate the truth
of the teachings of Lord Krishna as contained in Bhagavad Gita in its entirety.
I have reached the last
leg of my manifestation ... this is my 8.4 millionth manifestation ... I have
nowhere else to go ... I have reached the climax of my cosmic life ... I have
become a pure Atman ... having reached the Mount Everest of my life ... I but
desire to give back to the humanity whatever I have learnt with the grace of God
... and that is what I am doing right now!
Always
remember ... the moment the last query within every human being dissolves ...
it is all over for us ... we can but attain Moksha Salvation after that. Do not
hesitate to send a query ... it is only the process of cross-examination ... coming
to a logical conclusion in every matter whatsoever that we rise higher and higher
on the Spiritual platform ... this is the way it has been destined by God ...
beyond it Human Beings have no control whatsoever. We need to bear with it all.
May God bless us!
