JOIN USWe were taught this in our early childhood that we would reap what we sow, then why is it that the good ones turn bad and the bad ones turn worse?
Despite the law of karma being in operation, why do people not shy away from doing the wrong? This lack of fear of being punished has thus resulted in a world where people with low morals are holding high positions and in contrast, law-abiding persons are often seen suffering.
They are crushed under the weight of a system that serves the corrupt and the clever. In short, we can say the vices of greed, anger and ego are overpowering the virtues of compassion, humility and benevolence and the whole world has been left to the mercy of corrupt human beings.
Whenever a soul commits a sin, it repays in the form of suffering in that birth itself or in the following births. However, even after it has repaid its karmic account, it does not become completely free of evil in the way that it inherits a tendency to commit that sin. In other words, punishment may clear the soul’s debt, but the soul has lost its innocence.
Hence, when the sin is repeated many times, the tendency hardens in the form of sanskars or what we call personality traits and the soul is trapped in it. This also brings to the fore the understanding that when a person commits a wrong, he is not just planting a sapling of suffering for himself, but also digging a pit for a greater sin in the future.
The best examples of such individuals can be found in juvenile homes where a teenager is first punished for a petty crime and is given a chance to reform, but it is not necessary that it would reform him. Most of the times, it has been found that the teenager ends up becoming a hardcore criminal and a hardened jailbird.
It is said that every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. However, going by the law of karma, the saint must have done several good deeds in the past to reach a stage of such a spiritual elevation. Likewise, the criminal, too, will surely bear suffering in the future for the crimes he is committing in present.
The governments of today are trying to make new laws; they are initiating new schemes but the condition of the world is deteriorating.
It is this time when Almighty descends on this earth to transform this world from the old to the new, to change it from hell to heaven.
He is currently performing his highest divine task of heralding a new dawn by giving his beloved children the right knowledge so that they can settle their past accounts well and naturally keep away from further indulgence in vices.
So, let us all come together to receive the nectar of divine knowledge and burn away our sins and transform our old sanskars from their very root to attain immortal stage of divinity.
