Fruits of action

[Guest guest]

It is said that once we die, we go to hell and get punished for the

sins that we do, then we again take birth and come to the earth, here

again, we undergo a lot of sufferings. that means....for one action,

we get punished twice?..for one action, we get two fruits?...or is my

comprehension wrong?....

Dear Priya,

 

Some days back Adiyen posed the same question to

Sri.M.S.Hari but in a different manner. I questioned

him as follows

 

" It is said as per one's good and bad deeds

(Puniyam/Paapa Karmas) he goes to Swarkam/Narakam

respectively.Once we have attained the results for all

our Paapa karma in Narakam why should we take birth "

 

He replied me as follows:

 

2. Your second doubt on karma:

==============================

Never a jeevaatman enjoys all the results of his

karmas in one birth

itself. If it happens so, then he should have adopted

prapathi or his

bhakti should be in its culminating stage

(parama-bhakti stage).

When a person does good karma, he goes to swarga and

enjoys it and when its level decreases to a level, he

returns

back (get a birth) to lower worlds to enjoy his

remaining karma.

In this birth, he can gain either punya or paapa and

again fall

into this cycle. This cycle has no begining. But it

can have an

end. The end is there when all his good and bad karmas

are made

to zero. It is possible only through Bhakti (as per

upanishads)

or prapathi. Further the karma is divided into

sanchita and

praarabda. As long as a person is there in the

material worlds

(from Satya Loka to micro-organisms), he jeevaatman

has karma.

Bhakti may take any number of births. But prapathi

alone has the

capacity to make the current birth as the last birth.

Please feel free to write to me. If you have further

questions

and doubts regarding this or in any aspect of

philosophy and

practice, please write to me.

 

Thanks & Regards

M.S.HARI Ramanuja Daasan.

 

 

Here I didn't find anything regarding Narakam. So I

again questioned him

"What's the role of Narakam then?"

He replied me as follows:

 

Now comming to your second doubt regarding karma: The

role of

Narakam is for punishing those with paapa karmas.

Those who

did good karmas like Jyotishtoma etc., reach swarga.

Those who

did very bad karmas like pancha-maha-paathakams reach

naraka

and suffer. Both these people, return to other worlds

after their

karma reaches lower levels. Why to talk about Narakam?

The

kaama-kroda-dveshams in this world is even cruel to

narakam!

Listening to the divya-prabandam and the words of

Bhaagavatas is

the means to remove a person's evil thoughts.
