Law of Karma - Kaaya Vaacha Manasa

After Kurukshetra war, Dhritrarashtra asked Krishna, “I had 100 sons. All of them were killed. Why?

Krishna replied, “50 lifetimes ago, You were a hunter. While hunting, You tried to shoot a male bird. It flew away. In anger, You ruthlessly slaughtered the 100 baby birds in the nest. Father-bird had to watch in helpless agony.
Because you caused that father-bird the pain of seeing the death of his 100 sons, You too had to bear the pain of your 100 sons dying.

Dhritarastra said, “Ok, But why did I have to wait for fifty lifetimes?” Krishna answered, “You were accumulating 'PuNya' during the last fifty lifetimes to get 100 sons -Because that requires a lot of PuNya. Then you got the reaction for the 'Paapa' (sin) that you have done fifty lifetimes ago.”

Krishna says in the Bhagavad-gita (Adyaya 4. Verse #17) "Gahana Karmano Gatih" The way in which action and reaction works is very complex. God knows best which reaction has to be given at what time in what condition. Therefore, Some reaction may come in this lifetime, some in the next and some in a distant future life.

There is a saying, “The mills of God grind slow
but, they grind exceedingly fine. ”So, every single action will be accounted for, sooner or later. This is why there is a proverb in Kannada "ಮಾಡಿದ್ದುಣ್ಣೋ ಮಹರಾಯ ".

Srimad Bhagavata gives example. If we have a cow shed with 1000 calves and If we leave a mother cow there,
She will easily find out where her calf is among those thousands. She has this mystical ability.

Similarly, Our karma will find us among the billions on this planet as this is product of subtle body. There may be thousands going on the road but only one meets with an accident. It is not by chance, It's by KARMA. I remember my ajji talking about Karma concept every single day. Ayyo prarabhdave she used to say. It means she was taking about Prarabda Karma . There are other 2 karmas for broad classification , sanchita karma and aagami karma as well.

Thus,the Law of Karma works always works. It may be
Slow to act but'no one can escape.

So let’s all be very careful about your what we utter in words, our actions and our thoughts... !!

Uncluttered Intelligence

Only because there is death , there is life. We are only concerned death will not happen in an untimely manner. Whole fear of death is because we do not have any idea what it is. We have formed ideas about everything, just about everything. No matter what ideas we have formed about life, when we are confronted with death, we really do not know anything. This is one space of life which is kept uncorrupted by human mind. Everything else we have corrupted, Isn't it ? Whatever is supposedly be a sacred is hugely corrupted by human mind. Human minds have corrupted love, divinity , God, relationships and everything. We have corrupted and twisted it out the way we want. Death is one thing we are clueless about. Though lot of people would talk authoratatively about it that they are going to go to heaven. If they are so sure of that, what are they waiting for ? Is it not important to go today ? If you know you are going to better place than this earth, you must hurry up. Because of the fact that you are not sure, you just talk. You are definitely not sure 100% where will you go, what would happen to you. Just to solace yourself, just psycologically be able to handle life you create all these things. But essentially idea of death came to you because people have been talking about it , without knowing about it. Otherwise if societies did not speak about it, We would just know the way we are right now that it is not permanent.
Whole life we are living only in our mind not in this world.We are only thinking about life , we are not experiencing life. Just think for few minute and see how many moments have we experienced life as they are. We are only thinking about it. We are a psycological existance not existential existence . Whatever happens in our mind is irrelevant because we can make anything happen in our mind. We can imagine anything and think it is true. What happens in our mind, what we think and feel has nothing to do with the reality of life. But right now we have invested so much on what we think and feel. We made our thoughts and feelings so important to such an extent that we miss life and we do not even know. What this essentially means is our own petty creations we have created in our mind has become so important hat we are missing the magnificient creation of the creator. When is the last time we watched the sun coming out of horizon and sun set ? We should not miss it as we missed so many days ,months and years. Sun coming out is a luxury and I always wonder what if sun does not come out ? How beautiful that sun comes out Why should I be so busy with my petty creations in my mind. This body is piece of this earth. It goes back to this earth again. This body is a loan , Countless number of people have come to this earth walked this earth and left their mortal body to earth and gone. Where are they now ?? Hence this body is a debt that we have taken from this planet as a loan. Ex: If I give you 1 Lakh rupees to you and in 10 yrs if you have made 10 lakhs from that money. If I show up after 10 years , you will definitely welcome me with full heart and return my 1 lakhs thanking me . Isn't it ? Suppose if you do not invest properly and you lose that investment money also, When I return after 10 yrs it feels very weird to you seeing my face. Its like death is ok vs debtor. Isn't it ? Our body is exactly like that. This body is an accumulation we gathered from this earth . When the moment comes to give this body back to earth we give it back joyfully if we have done truely significant and wonderful out of it . Otherwise when the moment to pay back the loan comes we will shiver in the pants. How we die in many times is an indicative of how we have lived within ourselves. It is in this context they would have said significance of our last minute.

ನನ್ನ ಮನದ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಹನಿ ಕಂಬನಿ

ನನ್ನ ಮನದ ನಾಲ್ಕು ಹನಿ ಕಂಬನಿ
--------------------------
ನಮ್ಮ ಸಮಯ ದಿನಾ ಬೇಗ ಬೇಗ ಕಳೆದು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದೆ ಎಂದು ನನಗನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ನಾವು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡಿದ್ರು ಸಮಯ ಹೋಗುತ್ತೆ ಮಾಡದೆ ಇದ್ರೂ ಹೋಗುತ್ತೆ . ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಮಾಡಿಯೇ ಬಿಡೋಣ ಬಿಡಿ . ಆಗಬೇಕಿರುವ ಕೆಲಸಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡದೆ ಕುಳಿತಿರುವ ಬದಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಮಾಡಿ ಕಲಿತುಕೊಂಡು ಮತ್ತೆ ಗುರಿ ಮುಟ್ಟುವುದು ಲೇಸು. 

ಈ ಜೀವ ಏನು ಇದರ ಸಾಧ್ಯತೆ ಅಗಾಧತೆ ಏನು ಎಂದು ಪರಿಶೋಧಿಸಬೇಕಿದ್ರೆ ಆ ನಿಟ್ಟಿನಲ್ಲಿಯೂ ಕೂಡ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಯೋಚನೆ ಮಾಡ್ಬೇಕು ತಾನೇ ? ಸಮಯ ಮಿಂಚಿ ಹೋಗ್ತಾ ಇದೆ ತಾನೇ ? ಮುಂದೆ ಹಾಕಿಕೊಂಡು ಇರೋದಕ್ಕೆ ನಮಗೆ ನಮ್ಮೊಳಗಿರುವ ತಪ್ಪು ಕಲ್ಪನೆಗಳೇ ಕಾರಣ . ಅಮರರಂತೂ ಅಲ್ಲ ಗೊತ್ತಿದೆ . ಆದರೆ ತುಂಬಾ ಸಮಯವಿರುವ ಹಾಗೆ ತಪ್ಪು ಕಲ್ಪನೆಗಳೂ ಬೇಡ. 

ನಾನು ಕೆಲಸ ಮಾಡುವ ಕಂಪನಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಟ್ಟು ಇದೇ ವರ್ಷ ೫ ಜನ ಪ್ರಾಣ ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ೪೦ ರ ಒಳಗಡೆ ಇರುವವರೇ ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ೩ ಜನರು ನನಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿದ್ದವರು . 

ನನ್ನ ಜೊತೆ ಕಂಪ್ಯೂಟರ್ ಸೈನ್ಸ್ ಇಂಜಿನಿಯರಿಂಗ್ ಓದಿದ ೨ ಗೆಳೆಯರು ಇವತ್ತು ಇಲ್ಲ . ನಿತ್ಯ ಕಾಲೇಜಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತನಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಗೆಳೆಯರವರು. 

ಸಂತೋಷ ಆನಂದದಿಂದ ಬದುಕಿದ್ರೆ ನಾವು ನೂರು ವರ್ಷ ಬದುಕಿದರೂ ಅದು ಚುಟುಕದ ಜೀವನ ಅನ್ನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಅಲ್ಲವೆ ? ಹೀಗೆ ಬಂದು ಹಾಗೆ ಹೋಗುತ್ತೆ . ನಮ್ಮ ಇಲ್ಲಿವರೆಗಿನ ಬದುಕೇ ನೋಡಿ ಎಷ್ಟು ಬೇಗ ಕಳೆದು ಹೋಯಿತು ಅನ್ನುಸುತ್ತಿಲ್ವಾ ? ಇನ್ನೂ ಜಗಳ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಕಿಚ್ಚು ಲೋಭಿತನ ಒತ್ತಡ ಜಂಜಾಟ ಹಿಂಸೆ ಕೋಪ ಇದಕ್ಕೆಲ್ಲಾ ಟೈಮ್ ಎಲ್ಲಿಂದ ತರೋಣ ಹೇಳಿ ? ನಾವು ಯಾವುದೇ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಯಬಹುದು ಎಂಬುದರ ಅರಿವು ಇದ್ದರೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ನಡಿಸ್ಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗ್ತೀವಿ . ಯೋಚಿಸಿ ನೋಡಿ ....

ನಮ್ಮ ಬದುಕು ಬಹಳ ಚುಟುಕಾದ ಪಯಣವಾಗಿರೋದ್ರಿಂದ ಬಹಳ ಆನಂದವಾಗಿ ಹಿತವಾಗಿ ಸಂತೋಷದಿಂದ ನಡೆಸುವುದು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು . ನಮಗೆ ಹೇಗೆ ಬೇಕೋ ಹಾಗೆ . ನಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ಕಾಡುವ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಉತ್ತರ ಕಂಡುಹಿಡಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಎಂದು ಇರುವುದೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಜೀವನ. 

ನಮಗೆ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮಾಂಡದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ದೆ ಇದ್ರುವೇ ಸಾಯುವುದರೊಳಗೆ ನಮ್ಮೊಳಗೇ ಉಸಿರಾಡುತ್ತಿರುವ ಈ ಜೀವದ ಬಗ್ಗೆಯಾದರೂ ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕು ಅಲ್ಲವೆ ? ಪ್ರಯತ್ನ ಪಡದೆ ಹೋಗುವುದು ತಪ್ಪೇನಲ್ಲ ಆದರೂ ಸರಿಯೂ ಅಲ್ಲ ಅನಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.🙏
