Karma

Had been busy watching chess. So, now it's time for philosophy. Today's topic is Karma.

Karma is an abstruse topic. That's why I was not writing about it. It's not easy to quantify the karma. If i knowingly kill a mosquito how much bad karma I will get? No body knows. No body can know. If we have taken this body then we have to do Karma. There is no way out. Except in Samadhi. Except samadhi every activity is Karma. Samadhi is the only phenomena when all the Karma dissolves. Because, at the time of samadhi there is no doer. Karma needs doer. Doer does karma. If no doer, no karma. The doer has to vanish.

Secondly, if you are the observer of Karma. Then karma won't bind you. Because, you are just an observer. An acute observer is free from Karma. Whole life we do Karma. And what do we get out of it. Nothing. Look at the child. They have done less karma, they are happy. We did more karma, we became unhappy. Because, the observance of karma was missing. We didn't observe. We just did without observing it. Because, we were not taught to do like that. Because, our teachers, our parents, our friends didn't know anything about observation. Because, they were also not taught. The knowledge was lost. And is still lost. Don't think what you have learnt in the schools and colleges in a haphazard manner is the only reality. In my view that's the holy bullshhhhit they have taught us. Our education system is one of the most important factor in creating a perverted society. We need more people like Buddha, Jesus. Else the whole of the humanity will get destroyed. Humanity never moved in the right direction. Humanity had been always against of truth. Always. Else we would have a happy cheerful humanity by now. Today we do not have cheerful humanity. So, tomorrow also we would not have. Then day after tomorrow also. And it will continue...like we have been working for 5000 years for better humanity and we could not achieve it by now. So, just like that in the next 5000 years we are not going to have a cheerful humanity. Unless otherwise we have lots and lots of people like Buddha. Our need is not to create engineers who know just F=MA and nothing else. We need to create persons who understand why does F=MA work? What makes F=MA work.We should not create just lame engineers who just has remember F=MA like a parrot. The point I am trying to state is we need more contented humanity. After Jesus, nobody became like him in Christianity. After Buddha, nobody became like him in Buddhism. The rate of making of enlightened being is too less. That's why we have problems.

I want to make whole of humanity like Buddha. Not even a single person should escape from truth. I have no intention to create engineers/doctors/MBA who just know superficially. Think, I mentioned this in any of my previous post - if we have even a single unhappy person that will make the whole of humanity unhappy. So, every body has to be happy. Like Buddha. I know it's not easy to happen. That's the only way out to create a cheerful humanity. Every living being has to attain the truth and become like Buddha at the same time. Otherwise, there is no way out.

The observer

When do you become observer? Being an observer means being aware of what's going on. But, who is the observer? It's the indwelling consciousness within us. The same consciousness is spread ed everywhere. And is in every human being. However, that pure consciousness is wrapped by the clouds of ego. It's your ego which prevents you from being observer.

Ego makes your heart like a stone, It makes your heart like barren land where no fruit of happiness can survive. First you have to drop your ego to understand the all pervasive consciousness. Understanding that you are the doer alone is the most foolish act. Doer is the consciousness. You falsely assume that you are doing. If you become silent observer you'd never say i am doing.

Either you exist or GOD exists. Both cannot exist together. When you exist, your ego boosts you up. Then GOD is absent. There is not much space in this universe that two things can survive. Only one will exist at a time - either you or GOD. This is what is Vedanta. Non dualism.

What is the relationship between ego and GOD?

GOD is inactive. GOD doesn't interfere your freedom. GOD let you do whatever you want to within natural laws. Ego is active. Ego most vibrant. Your ego will create the gap between you and god. And if you become observer of your ego that will bridge the gap.

Many says everything is GOD. That's true only when you become the observer. The witnesse. Otherwise you are everything. GOD will not hamper your natural evolution but when you become pure observer, the evolution will happen by GOD. That way you won't be bounded by the laws of karma's. Otherwise, your ego will accumulate lots of karma's. The only way to destroy the effect of karma's is to become pure observer.

You yourself don't let the things happen. You are the biggest problem of yourself. There is a story. An elephant was crossing the bridge. Out of his weight the bridge started shaking. The ant on the elephant said "I shock the bridge". Elephant said, "yeah, you are also there, I didn't Even heed you". Your ego is like that ant sitting on the elephant like infinite consciousness saying "I am the doer". Don't be ant. Ego is nothing but condensed manifestation of consciousness.
