Why do honest individuals seem to have such bad luck?
by Theindian Sun Indian Magazine in AustraliaAn approach to life's most urgent challenges that is both
scientific and Vedic!
Every time, this science about the truth of karma—the cycle
of good and bad reactions—astonishes us. Every action we take has a
corresponding reaction that occurs either immediately or in the future.
This science can be explained with the help of an example.
When a farmer harvests a field, he or she finds that some of the grains are of
good quality while others are not. When the farmer gets low-quality grains, he
puts them in the grain silo, where they settle in the pit's bottom. The farmer
returns good grade grains to the grain silo the next season if there are any.
When the farmer opens the bottom lid, however, he finds that
he is receiving the poor-quality grains from the previous season, followed by
the good-quality grains from this season. This is due to the fact that the
lower-quality grains from the previous season have accumulated towards the
bottom of the pit, where they will emerge first, followed by the higher-quality
grains.
Similarly, we can see that in this world, we experience
happiness and misery, which may be described by karma principles. There are
rules that regulate how this cosmic manifestation operates, just as there are
rules that govern how a state or country operates. We haven't witnessed
anyone's deeds in an eternity, so claiming that a nice person is having bad
emotions for no apparent reason, or vice versa, is unjust. We must understand
that we are eternal beings with a soul that reincarnates as a result of our
activities in this mortal world.
Re-incarnation, Out-of-body experiences, near-death
experiences, and past-life recollections have been accepted as actual truths by
science, and many people around the world have experienced and believe in these
phenomena.
Karma has three meanings: activity that creates a reaction
that helps us develop in the future, reaction to that material activity, and
acts that follow the scriptures. The Bible is seen as a legal document that
provides direction for living our lives, or as a life guideline. The manual of
life, i.e. the Scriptures, advises us on how to set up and use the device, just
as a television manual instructs us on how to set up and use the device. Why
should we put our faith in the Bible? It's possible that it's only a mental
construct with no scientific basis. We can see, however, that Scriptures
provide evidence for many things—for example, the science of Embryology was
explained thousands of years ago in Vedic texts, the predictions of various
incarnations such as Lord Buddha and other rulers such as Emperor Chandragupta
are explicitly given in the scriptures, Ayurveda and the purity of Cow dung,
and many other concepts that Science has recently discovered were mentioned in
the scriptures thousands of years ago.
As a result, we must seek a trustworthy source in order to
receive real knowledge. For example, if someone wants to be a Doctor or a
Lawyer, he chooses an acceptable institution of Law or Medicine, acquires
knowledge from authorised books and recognised teachers, sits for the exam,
gains some practical experience, and is finally accredited as a Professional.
Similarly, if we wish to learn about the Absolute Truth, which cannot be
defined or conceived by our existing limited senses, we must look for
legitimate sources or lines of disciplic succession who can pass on the full
knowledge.
As a result, the sensible question of where we might have
this true comprehension of the soul arises.
The Bhagavad-Gita is the most well-known scripture on
self-realization and how to live a perfect life. Great leaders, philosophers,
scientists, university professors, theologians, and others use this old Vedic
literature to overcome their ignorance-based difficulties.
The soul passes into a new body at death, as mentioned in
Chapter 2, Verse 13, when a person matures from boyhood to youth to old age,
and a sober person is not confounded by this shift. A gross body made up of
Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether, as well as a subtle body made up of Mind,
Intelligence, and False Ego, are described in the Bhagavad-gita. Above these
two lies the soul, which is impenetrable and unbreakable to these forces. It is
everlasting, unchanging, and through the symptom of consciousness, it supports
the entire material body. The growth of divine traits, which are the most
critical necessities of our contemporary world scenario, is one of the benefits
of having this vast information. Pleasure, satisfaction, happiness, peace, and
love are qualities that emerge in a person with these divine properties and
spiritual inclinations. This leads to global brotherhood, which can only be realised
if we acknowledge and accept the fact that underlying every skin colour, race,
and religion is a soul that is unique and linked to God's one holy source.
Knowledge of the Soul also helps with keeping a positive outlook on life and
dealing with worries, grief, fear, sadness, distress, and negative thoughts.
Because divine knowledge may be utilised to cut the ropes of ignorance, this
naturally solves the problem of becoming imprisoned in the cycle of acts and
reactions.
As a result, in order to better our existence, we should
make every effort to delve further into this transcendental science of life's
secrets.
