Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Thus Spake The Lord The third, karana or instrument, is kriya or deed. Every action has its reaction on oneself and on others. This is the law of nature, as inevitable as the effects of heat and cold. Every karma brings with it a series of consequences. Physical illness, mental derangement, economic suffering, domestic miseries are all the fruits of one's own karma. They cannot be ascribed to the hard-heartedness of God. One's karma reveals one's bestial propensities or human virtues or god-ward aspirations. The attitudes and preferences built into man's consciousness either by his previous lives or the society into which they have thrust him in this life, are also revealed. Deeds are not in accordance with declarations; this is the basic defect in all facets of life today. How has the world come to the very brink of total collapse today? Why is the youth suffering from anxiety and anarchism? Is there a shortage of books from which men can learn the unfolding of human values? Have gurus who teach men the potentiality of human being become scarce? Are there no institutions engaged in awakening men and warning them of the dire consequences of sloth and sleep?
