πΊπ¦ What is Karma? How to origin Consciousness? ~Naimish Harpal πππ»
29th March, 2020It is our perception that whatever we do now or have done in the past, we will get equivalent results in the future. Karma is not limited to just acts, but also our thoughts and feelings. With law of Karma, there are two aspects relevant to effort level and results: (1) Quality, and (2) Quantity.
⚖️ (1) Quality — As we know tit for tat principle, the Karma rule offers us with good results for our good acts or thoughts and punishes us with bad situations or results for our bad acts or thoughts that we have done knowingly or unknowingly. Just like any sports game, we left match referee (aka God or some majestic power of nature) to look after all the players and give final decision in fairly manner.
π(2) Quantity — It is again very simple and linear phenomena. Greater the act, greater are the results. For long term game, Karma rule is like compound interest. As universe speaks language of mathematics, we sometimes get results in manifold. Smaller continuous acts over a longer period of time will return with most compound benefit. Vise versa for our ignorance to known issues and therefore punishments or ending up into bad situations.
Now, pocking at our brains for a second, why I am laying out this foundation of Karma rulesets here. As a human being of 21st century equipped with latest technologies, we have disconnected ourselves from nature and laws of universe. We all want everything with touch of our finger tips but not paying attention to our conscience towards underlying processes. We are full of desires for our personal gains in our daily lives (either for work life or family life). We complain our great lives over small things. This is all natural when we don’t understand purpose of our lives.
One of the great book author Deepak Chopra quoted these: “The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience.” Sounds like law of Karma. Right? Or beyond that?
The whole exercise here is to focus consciously on underline thought process. Whatever we manifest in our brains, we need to nurture both our thoughts and feelings with (a) pure love, (b) unselfish act, and (c) great sense of purpose. Items (a) and (b) combined together will set the tone of intensity; whereas, item (c) will give fuel to fighting/survival spirit. When each and every thought/feeling is born with such act and we surrender ourselves bravely to outcome on rule set of Karma, we will become free from our greedy attachments. Instead of being reactive to each phenomenon that happens to us, we need to be on driver seat of our lives. As our minds are pleased with praise and displeased with blames, what we need is the food of blissfulness to our soul. This is key ingredient to live in moment. So many buzz words! In very simple words, whatever we do in our daily lives, focus on the process with good thoughts and execute it with great love. If you can find a great sense of happiness and joy just from drinking a glass of water, then you have mastered your life.
With that, as the season of Spring is blooming with colorful flowers, wishing that your soul will be blessed and filled with a garden of selfless and blissful flowers. The birds and butterflies (in the form of Karma) will automatically visit your garden.

No reading is powerful without any actions, so here is the practical homework for you:
(1) Reach out to all the elderly neighbors in your community and offer your help in current challenging Coronavirus situation. Help them by buying groceries from stores for them.
(2) Act on three small habits to help Mother Nature. For example, stop using single use of plastic bags. Don’t ask for plastic straws or spoons. Recycle garbage.
(3) Write down your life’s priorities and re-read them every morning. Tip: Instead of highlighting future state deliverables, list priorities in terms of present moment acts. (E.g. instead of looking for next promotion at work or 6-pack abs fitness look, list that I will give my best persistent efforts on details of my act. I will improve on my good habits by prioritizing them and quitting bad ones).

Hoping that you will put your efforts honestly. Best wishes.
Amen and cheers to be the best version of yourself. ππ»ππ₯
