Subtleties of Karma

The Law of Karma prevails till a purpose is to serve
Handing out in just measure whatever we do deserve
Until we are not one with our own breath
The cycle repeats itself; birth and death

It surpasses every line of defense
Seems blind and brutal; but not to take offense
It is equal to all; it knows no difference
Subtly it works driven by Love immense

Else how can we explain a little babe born lame?
What has it done to deserve such blame?
Unfold the past; there lies the reason
Those in suffering, take heart, those are the chosen

The fruits of our actions are what we have in hand
We fret and fume because we fail to understand
Conscious actions; in our minds we ought to keep
Seers of yore have said, “What you sow, so you reap”

Karma sees to it that energy follows thought
Suffering can end if the mind is brought to naught
Self enquiry and contemplation transpires
What a waste it is to hold selfish desires

Any of our actions will never go in vain
Unknowingly we inflict upon another pain
There is no other; only a collective conscious Self
So what we do unto another, we do unto our self

The past need not project into the future
The present is the gift we are given to nurture
Accepting the present; the past it can dissolve
The purpose of Karma is this; that all of us evolve

  1. hmm you believe in karma,according to vedas it takes some 72 million years for a soul to expire cuz its keeps changing bodies and worldly environments till it attains perfection.this was perception of people thousands of years back and perceptions are not always true.

    human psychology or character depends on two factors ie 50% genetic and 50% environment you live in.as you grow up from child to adult its upto you who has to decide which one of 50% should become 100%.this is how mindsets of people evolve.

    karma is more a superstitious word than fact and logic.people evolve with different perceptions as i said above and a self-realised individual is one whose evolution of mind comes to an end when perceptions of world are within and this is called absolute wisdom.so when perceptions of world are within ,one gets clarity in every aspect of life and his thoughts can trace the first human state of mind to reveal the exact concept of god.

    good to see you back again ,keep writing whatever you feel.no one is forcing you to change the line of thought.:-)
