Fwd: [ISKCON_jivatattva] Formula of Karma

 

Dear Devotee Member

"Srila Prabhupad Ki Jai"

Why this stress on being good in this world filled with hypocrites, cheaters, debauchees?

In the whole world if the statistics is taken there are more good people than the bad people.

Count the no of prisons this will help you to understand. Prisons are meant for the people who break the Law of the Land, and you will see that in a district or a town there will be just one prison house that occupies a vary small potion of that land. In some villages even today you will not find any prison likewise this material world is also a prison which is just  1/4 of the spiritual world which is 3/4. 

So do not get disheartened be a Kshatriya by mood and Vaisnava by act fight maya with the help of Holy Name.

We find more bad people than good people so there is no motivation to remain good, wearing saffron means saints but even the saints cheat you; so where to go?

Taking shelter of saffron cloth and cheating tradition started when Ravana gave room to such a taught and kidnapped Sita (Reflection of Sita). This trend is going on from that time therefore Guru Sadhu Sastras say use the tried and tested method of choosing you spiritual teacher who should and will help you become good. See the Achar of such a person watch him observe him and when they meet the required standard then surrender to such aperson. Therefore this stress of Prachar by Achar.

"Open your eyes before marriage in choosing the right girl to who stand by you in your thick and thin. Close your eye after marriage as there is no room for choice or options at that stage. Same with the Guru Theory of tried and tested method is what is recommended" 

To identify Good first we need to know what is good.

There are so many demons among devotees. As you would get to read there were so many demons killed by Krsna in Vrindavan. Filter these demons identify the demons with the help of Guru Sadhu and Sastra and fight to finish. 

If it is expected for every body to be good why the lord has created bad in the first palace?

The Supreme merciful Lord always gives us choice so that we can execute our free will and choose this will help us prove ourselves to the Lord that we know how to use our freedom when it is given to us.

This is a screening process that helps filter the best person who by this testing process is chosen to come closer to the lord to become his confidential servant. This confidential servants are awarded full freedom and the Lord limits his duties to just listening to these confidential devotees doing what is expected out of these devotees.

These confidential devotees  in tern carrying the job of the Lord as they know the mood of the Lord and therefore they are called representatives of the Lord.

Logical example:

The father and the son are same and different persons altogether. However when a wedding invitation is given to father and if the father decides to send is son instead of he attending the wedding it is same as the father going. Likewise when the confidential devotee comes it is same as the Lords coming.

Coming to the inner understanding and meaning of BAD. The sastras say there is nothing completely bad in this material world as even in the bad the all merciful lord has placed good in it. So weather we like or know still we do good and weather we like or know still we do bad.

So nobody can ever say I have never done anything bad or a person can never say he never done any good.

This shows that though the Lord gives us freedom still he protects us in care we go wrong. It is like a father tells his son who is so particular to have freedom gives that freedom but monitors him without his knowledge so that in time of need he is always around for his child.

KARMA is made up like that and the formula of Karma is in every good there is bad hidden and in every bad there is good hidden. Only the percentage varies. In doing good the percentage of good is more than bad and in doing bad the percentage of Bad is more than the good. 

But in both the case we need to enjoy and suffer our choices. 

Therefore it is said in GURU SADHU SASTRA taht KArma means good karma. BAD karma is called vikaram or forbidden activity. Shastras see Karma as positive and it is addressed in BG as Karma Yoga. Linking with Krsna through KARMA.

THEREFORE TRANSCEND EVEN THE MODE OF GOODNESS IS WHAT GURU SADHU SASTRA SAYS
