Karma
Dedicated to His Divine Grace A.C BhaktiVedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada
Everything is fixed
• We are simply puppets
• Our hands and legs are Stringed
Destiny
As we sow so do we reap.
The luck factor
The chance thing
Born with a silverspoon
Son of Facebook owner
We heard news of several people dying in africa
Varieties of living Standards
• We find people in the world with a variety of
living standards
Accidents
• Girl and a zoo story.
• A child falling in a zoo story.
Europe’s oldest sufferer of a rare ageing
disease has told how in just 20 years his
body has become that of a 160-year-old.
Dean Andrews' body has aged eight times
faster than normal due to a rare condition
called Hutchinson-Gilford progeria.
He is one of just four progeria sufferers in the
UK and out of only 74 cases worldwide,
Dean is thought to be the second oldest
survivor.
Now Dean has decided to tell the story of his
life so far in the hope of providing
inspiration to other sufferers.
He said: 'I’ve never let my condition hold me
back. I’ve always tried to do what
everyone else does and even if I failed, at
least I tried.
20% of world’s under-5 deaths occur in India
• LONDON: One in every 21 children being
born in India are dying before reaching
their fifth birthday as the country recorded
the highest number of under five deaths in
2015 globally.
Questions to be asked
• Is there any supreme control or a government
who is taking care of all this?
Answers lie in Self Realization
• Lets take individual cases
puruñaù prakåti-stho hi
bhuìkte prakåti-jän guëän
käraëaà guëa-saìgo ’sya
sad-asad-yoni-janmasu
The living entity in material nature thus follows the ways of life, enjoying the
three modes of nature. This is due to his association with that material nature.
Thus he meets with good and evil amongst various species.
Analysis
• Basically a living entity has various levels of
hatred, pride, anger, patience, tolerance,
simplicities, fortitude, forbearance,
humbleness, kindness, jealousy.
• Depending upon the mode of material nature
the living entity has acquired he takes birth
among the particular species.
• A living entity who gets the life of a snake,
should have a very high envious nature like
jealousy, hatred, and others.
• Basically species are divided in Sattva, Rajas
and Tamas species.
GITA 16.19
In
the Çrémad-Bhägavatam, Third Canto, it is stated that an individual soul, after
his death, is put into the womb of a mother where he gets a particular type of
body under the supervision of superior power. Therefore in the material
existence we find so many species of life—animals, insects, men, and so on. All
are arranged by the superior power. They are not accidental. As for the
demoniac, it is clearly said here that they are perpetually put into the wombs
of demons, and thus they continue to be envious, the lowest of mankind. Such
demoniac species of life are held to be always full of lust, always violent and
hateful and always unclean. They are just like so many beasts in a jungle.
Definition of Karma
• As you sow so more shall you reap.
• You give pain you get pain.
• You give pleasure you get more pleasure.
• Since this is a Dwaita world sukha is
allways mixed with dukha.
• Hence no one can be in pure pain or pure
pleasure.
Animal Slaughter
• The animal which was slaughtered will get
a chance to slaughter its slaughterer.
• Hospitals built in charity will come back
more.
• Every soul gets justice by the supreme
will.
• Story of a sadhu and cow slaughter.
gatir bhartä prabhuù säkñé
niväsaù çaraëaà suhåt
prabhavaù pralayaù
sthänaà
nidhänaà béjam avyayam
I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the abode, the refuge and
the most dear friend. I am the creation and the annihilation, the basis of
everything, the resting place and the eternal seed.
samo ’haà sarva-bhüteñu
na me dveñyo ’sti na priyaù
ye bhajanti tu mäà bhaktyä
mayi te teñu cäpy aham
I envy no one, nor am I partial to anyone. I am equal to all. But whoever
renders service unto Me in devotion is a friend, is in Me, and I am also a friend
to him.
Hence he has to provide Justice else God
gets blamed for partiality.
samo ’haà sarva-bhüteñu
na me dveñyo ’sti na priyaù
ye bhajanti tu mäà bhaktyä
mayi te teñu cäpy aham
Story of Dhrtarashtra’s suffering
Free will
• Everyone has a free will and it depends on him
to do whatever he wants but punishment or
pleasure follows.
iti te jïänam äkhyätaà
guhyäd guhyataraà mayä
vimåçyaitad açeñeëa
yathecchasi tathä kuru
Thus I have explained to you the most confidential of all knowledge. Deliberate
on this fully, and then do what you wish to do.
Currency
• Our Sukha and dukha is preset, but our
spiritual happiness is undestined.
• We can enjoy unlimited sp happiness not
dependent on anything.
We are immortal
• But we are unable to appreciate our
immortality.
• Basically every living entity wants to Lord
over every other living entity and
resources which don’t belong to him but to
Krishna(God).
• Even a dog barks on other dog thinking “I
am better than you”.
Conclusion
• Everyone is suffering the results of his
own work, suffering which has imposed on
others.
• This simply happens because we deny to
see everyone as sparks of Supreme Fire.
man-manä bhava mad-

mad-yäjé mäà namaskuru
