017 - What are our Karmas?
All of us, the 7.7 billion people in the world currently (and the billion and billions of people who are going to be born) are born because of only one reason. KARMAS. We are born because of our Karmas. If all of us didn't have any karmas we would not have born at all in this world. In every birth we earn a lot of karmas and nullify some karmas. As long as we have karmas associated with us, we need to keep taking rebirth. Our Athma which resides inside our physical body is nothing but a collection of our karmas. The karmas can be broadly classified into two categories. Good Karmas and Bad Karmas.
What are Karmas?
In our every day life we deal with a lots and lots of people. Thats the basic platform/opportunity for us to earn anyone of the Karmas. Karmas are basically the impact of our actions on others. Our actions can create good impact or bad impact on others. Right?
Lets take an example:
There is a poor man and he has only Rs.500 and he keeps it in a box in his house. Lets say his neighbor sees this and manages to steal that money when the poor man is away. When the poor man comes back and see that his only Rs. 500 is missing and doesn't know what to do for his family's food and he cries with a lot of pain. Now his neighbour who has stolen the money has earned the strong bad karma of the poor man.
Now, When the poor man cries with a lot of pain, Who is actually feeling the pain and cries? Is it his body? Body is just a Jadam. The one who feels the pain and cries is the poor man's Athma. The poor man may not know who took the money and does not have the power to file a case and chase the thief. But the poor man's Paramathma which is also inside his body, knows all this and know who took the money.
What is meant by earning the karma? That means, this bad karma is registered in the brain of the neighbor who took the money. Probably the neighbor could have ensured no one sees when he takes the money but he doesn't know the witness is inside his body. Yes, the neighbors Paramathma knows/sees what he is doing and file a kind of case against him in the brain. Now, the neighbor has to go through a similar kind of pain as that of the poor man to clean the Karma he earned. Till that time the case against him would be live. Lets say in this birth, there were no opportunity for the neighbor to clean this particular karma, he takes this karma when he leaves the body or when he is dead. His paramathma will ensure and would create a situation where the neighbor has to go through the same pain in his next birth. In the next birth, when he would be going through such a pain, he would not know, he did something similar to other person in his last birth and probably would blame God like why the God is so hard on him.. Right? So the struggle or happiness that happens in our life, who earned it?
Karmas is a ver big topic and a lot can be written on this subject!
