Guest guest Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 KARMA BANDHANA God is beyond everything.Beyond the spirituality even; beyond the karma, senses, reason and all such.God is the absolute truth within , which can be known only by being that. Kukarma --- the wicked actions, the sinful deeds committed n the past lives and in this life, that bind us to the world of misery.That which drags us to the untruth is kukarma. Satkarma --- Sat+Karma. That which leads us to Sat(Truth) is satkarma. Good deeds done with the spiritual consciousness lead us to the Truth; Only with the spiritual awareness we do not get bound even by satkarma(good deeds).Satkarma is to reach the Sat (through virtuous deeds as an offering to God within). That is a ladder to the truth.After attaining that highest state, the ladder is not needed anymore. As long as we are bound by kukarmas, satkarmas are needed to mitigate those kukarmas. Through japa/dhyana/meditation…,kukarma dissolves. But the quantity of kukarmas dissolved need to be balanced by way doing satkarmas to attain the state of Self-realisation. In the state of self-realisation, there is neither kukarma nor satkarma with an individual. Both have been balanced or both are nil. Sri Guruji-Swami Vivekananda says that "`samadhi' is the beginning of true spiritual life". When kukarma dissolves to nil , sadhak starts to experience the visions of God within, and God within leads the sadhak in the path of `Jeeva-Shiva-Seva', self-less service to humanity with the true love to mankind. True life starts with the vision of God within.It leads to self-realisation(Atma Sakshatkara); the state of being God itself. It is `samadhi'. Today's sinner is tomorrow's saint. The sinner is a person who has misutilised the energy through wicked deeds, due to ignorance and ego( Maya), doing `dourjanya' (harm) to the mankind/society.He may be a dacoit, a robber, a terrorist, a brute..He goes on committing mistakes/sins out of `ahankara', where his energy is being mischannelised. But there is an end to that; sin can never be infinite.., it is finite,.. limited by time,..limited by janmas/births. When it reaches its peak(as destined by God), the tranformation of sinner takes place through the blows to his `ego'. Sufferings, as the result of kukarmas make one realize the truth. Then starts the spiritual process. Spirituality originates out of this state of being sinful.Through the spiritual process the negativity starts getting transformed into positivity.Sinner will now be going to become divine gradually, through the spiritual process. Until there is sin (kukarma) in us, we need to deal with `satkrma'..( through sadhana and seva).Sadhanais to dissolve the sin . Seva is to balance those sinful acts,…this seva leads us to the state of Atma- Sakshatkara. Apart from spiritual Gurus and Avatharis… (incarnate entities), all the living beings born on earth are bound by karmas(both positive and negative).Spirituality has to play its role only when there is kukarmas(negativity)in us. He who has no kukarmas with him, need not be spiritual.Because he is already God/Godly.He is called Jeevanmukta…a liberated living being. God is beyond spirituality.Spirituality is the way to God, way to the truth within. Spirituality is that which is related to the Spirit/Truth within.This relation to spirit takes place only when all the `SINS' become nil. Because, spirituality is the process by which the `sin' is mitigated, to attain the eternal TRUTH within. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
