There is
no way out of your sufferings. They are of your own making! God is a Dhrishta
(an onlooker). He never interferes with the working of his beings. It is like
a supercomputer duly programmed for every act performed by all Jivas (living beings)
existing in the total Cosmos. As we perform our Karma ((the sum total of all deeds
performed by us) so shall we be paid by God.
If
you need to come out of your sadness... you need to delve into the cause of your
sadness. As you brood over the cause... you shall realize that it was of your
own making. You got what you performed... nothing more or less! Your sadness...
was it a making of God in order that he keeps a track of your pain and sees to
it that you do not suffer further.
How easily we can blame God for our sufferings. of all the happenings in the Cosmos
and on Mother Earth... why should God care about our sufferings and pain? In the
system of God everything is pre-coordinated. As we perform... so shall we get?
Nothing less... or more!
Whatever
pain or suffering we experience in this life is not necessarily making of our
actions in this life alone. Whatever actions we are performing today... the fruits
of our actions may be available to us within this life not necessarily... it is
also possible that the fruits of our actions in this life may be made available
to us in the fourth life hence (the future fourth manifestation from now).
Similarly whatever
pain or happiness we experience in this life is not the result of our Karma in
present life. It is just possible that whatever we are experiencing today may
be the result of our Karma performed in any of our previous manifestations (lives
we have already lived).
Many
a times we observe that someone who has a tendency of committing one sin after
another in this life is always happy... Is he experiencing happiness owing to
the deeds of the present life? No. He is enjoying the fruits of his Karma performed
in past lives and the day the balance merits which got carried over from previous
lives to this life get balanced with the sins being carried out in this life shall
this person experience hell in this life. Not before... it shall never be!
Similarly, one who
keeps doing pious deeds in this life and continuous to suffer for no act committed
in this life shall continue doing so until the bad effects of the previous lives
are nullified. The moment this happens we shall experience pure bliss in this
life. Does it mean that whatever pious deeds we continue to perform... we shall
only suffer in this life! Yes... we need to practice patience and can expedite
achieving happiness only by performing more and more pious deeds at a faster pace...
for we need to compensate for the sinful acts of ours in the previous lives. We
in this life cannot help otherwise.
The
day the negative Karma of the previous lives gets balanced in this life and reduces
to zero... we can only but see the flowering of our actions of the present life.
The golden era of our life starts henceforth. It shall only be happiness and nothing
else we shall experience further.
One manifestation after another goes on. In the cosmic system whatever we may
have performed in our earlier lives may fructify in this life and whatever deeds
we are performing in this life may bear fruits in this life or any other life
in the future. We are supposed to bear with the system built by God. We cannot
afford to but practice patience. Only then can we hope to achieve our goal in
the end.
