Freedom of Karma

Among all the life-forms, only human form is the one in which the being is given freedom of actions (Karma). The marvelous faculties of conscious and unconscious mind, intellect, and the sense of self-identity are gifted to a human mainly so that he could make best use of these in his actions - intellect is given for reasoning; mind for thinking and pondering over the reasoned thoughts and testing every action whether it is good or bad, whether it is worth one's dignity as a human. If one does not make sane use of this unique privilege, he shall not only be the loser but also a culprit of defying the preeminent duty assigned by the Supreme Creator.

Freedom of Karma is a birth right of every human being. But, no one has the freedom to escape the Karmas. The system of Nature is such that every creature has to do its essential Karmas for survival. Nature does not allow any other creature to do anything against its nature. Humans, because of the liberty of Karmas, can attempt diversified actions. But not doing any Karma is impossible for everyone. Nature will automatically pull one towards some Karma as per one's intrinsic tendencies. This is what Lord Krishna reminds Arjun in the holy Gita. The Omnipresent Consciousness of God is present in Karmas and those who try going against the Law of Karma are further entrapped in the illusion of HIS Maya.

Being Good is Being Wise

Tyrants or wicked people do not hesitate in committing mindless flaws and sinful activities. Wise are those who restrain themselves from such follies. Evil generates more evil; this is why one should keep away from it and protect himself against it, as one would from the hazards of fire. The vicious consequences and God's penalty for sins follows the sinner like his own shadow and continue the chase with greater intensity life after life till he is ruined completely. Therefore, be vigilant and keep away from all vices.

You accumulate the curse of your own soul whenever you do something that is unethical or wrong. There is nothing more painful and adverse than burning in this fire. Despite knowing this, people are driven towards misconduct, blemishing acts and sins because of their cravings, ego and selfish attachments. Satisfying these passions for some time appears to give some momentary pleasure but traps one's mind into its grip forever. This is like eating sugar-coated poison. Truly intelligent and wise in this world is the one who precludes himself from evil thoughts and mean, cruel, sinful actions, and on the contrary, adopts truthful righteous path. This wisdom proves to be farsighted and opens up the path of glorious achievements…….
