I
get it. I recently read many books by Dada Bhagwan Foundation, a spiritual
group in India (that doesnot promote any particular religion) says that no individual God is running this
world. Every worldly phase is a natural happening governed by Vyavasthit (Scientific
Circumstantial Evidences) which requires many elements
to come together for an event to take place. There is no God overhead as the Do-er of it.
A human being is also one of the element. For example, it is wrong to
say ‘I’ made tea. Tea could be made when all elements like water, tea leaves,
milk, sugar, fire etc were present. I became an instrument to make it. Left
only to me, I cannot make tea on, say, ...
a road side because all evidences are not present. He calls these evidences
scientific because even if one evidence is missing event will not take place.
Thats why he says when an accident takes place, it requires many many evidences
to be present at that particular place and time otherwise there will be no
accident. I found this quite acceptable.
Now if we combine this with Laws of Karma, it explains so many
things. Like how a particular person
swapped the seat and did not go on that ill fated Malaysian Airline that was
shot down recently or why the one he swapped the seat with went on that flight. Evidences were coming together to make this
thing happen in a precise manner. That
doesnot mean that this law will let the offenders of crash go scot free. Even if they escape justice on earth in this
lifetime, the scientic circumstances will bring them to justice in one of the
next lifetimes. That time they will not
know the reason and would probably crib as to why this happened to
innocent. The karmic repayment is not
exact like eye for an eye. But the
feelings and emotions of suffering that is caused due to accidents will be felt
by them.
World often confuses Karma.
When it sees someone being slapped, killed, promoted, demoted,
successful, sent to prison, it says this is karma, whereas this is not
karma. This is result of karma. Karma was already formed earlier and this is
result of that. Karma is formed
internally through our bhav(intentions),
our inner communication with ourselves.
Universe records it all and through scientific circumstantial evidences
arranges for the result and sends it back to us at appropriate time. It doesnot necessarily come from same person
but the result is the same that we caused to someone else earlier, whether
knowingly or unknowingly. When it is said that we are creating our reality and that we are responsible for whatever is happening in our life it means that a man is responsible for his bhaav (innert intention) behind any action of body, mind and speech. This is what human freewill is. While tasting the fruit of past karma(intentions), how a man reacts(creates new or no karma) determines his future. You reap what you sow.
Our hand gets burned, whether we put our hand in fire knowingly or
unknowingly. A willful act involves
strict and precise return whereas unintentional action brings returns too in
such a manner that person calls it exceptional.
When we hold anger, greed, resentment, pride, hatred, attachment inside
for some person, place or a thing, it definitely attracts returns. Intense feelings create ‘sticky karma’ for
which there is no escape in form of close negative lifetime relationships etc. When we get
such returns in next lifetime we are left wondering why things are happening
that way since we did not do anything wrong. None remembers the deeds of the past.
When we hold
strong resentment for someone, it follows us into lifetimes till we learn to
love that person. Act of forgiveness is
a sure ticket to freedom from negative bondage. This is the reason why
saints and wise have advised us to stay calm in all situations, maintain equanimity
and forgive all.
