KARMA EFFECT AND NEWTON'S THIRD LAW...


Its been long since I wrote a post in this blog... Now, this has been an issue keeping me occupied for quite some time. Just think, there are some children, born at rich, comfortable and happy homes and some others who are born in radically opposite situations. On one hand, there are people who are hale and healthy and on the other people with many ailments or deformities. There are people who die a very peaceful death and there are others who die in a Sudden & horrible manner.

The very thought of this discrimination haunted my mind. I used to think, why certain people experience more difficulties in their lives than others. Finally, I got an answer for all these - KARMA. Through the law of karma, the effects of all deeds actively create past, present, and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to him/her and others. The results or 'fruits' of actions are called karma-phala. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.

Karma is analogous to Newton's third law!

Karma effect : For every deed you do(good or bad), there is an equal result you experience.
Newton's third law : For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

While speaking about Karma, it is essential to mention about Karma Yoga. Karma Yoga is a concept given by Lord Krishna. To put it simply, Karma Yoga is the art of performing actions without expecting the results. Such a person is called KARMA YOGI. Karma yoga focuses on the adherence to duty(dharma) while remaining detached from the reward.
Let us all try to do good and be good all the time...

God doesn't exist

This is a mail I got from my friend... Nice one, enjoy...
God doesn't exist
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed.As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists.""Why do you say that?"asked the customer."Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist.
Tell me, if God exists,would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine loving a God who would allow all of these things."The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument.The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and un-kept.The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist.""How can you say that?"asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber.And I just worked on you!""No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.""Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me.""Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world."
