VAIDIC LAW OF KARMA

Is there existence of next birth after death or does previous birth exist? There may be so many this kind of questions in one's mind. Some people say this is the first and last birth because we don't remember anything about our previous birth.
1/n
Some say without knowing our past karmas how can be we motivated towards right direction only by bearing the fruits of those karmas as pleasure and pain. If we know the action for what we are rewarded or punished then only there is some sense to accept the existence....
2/n
....existence of rebirth otherwise there is no need to accept its existence.

Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati in his book Satyarth Prakash and others examined all these kind of arguments and established the truth with logic that rebirth exists because by seeing inequality,
3/n
differences in the life of people by birth in the form of physical comforts/discomforts, learned pious parents/uneducated ignorant parents, healthy physical state/poor physical status, different inclinations and hobbies etc. the cause of inequality can be inferred.
4/n
Either this inequality of mankind has a cause, or it is purely accidental. No sensible person would think of attributing this inequality to blind chance or pure accident. Ishwara is Just and Impartial by His nature. He never discriminates Souls.
5/n
He gives the fruit of past life actions to Souls with Justice in the form of JATI(life -state ), AAYU(life-period) & BHOG(life-experience). In this way we can infer the existence of past karmas of previous birth.
6/n
Therefore using the" Evidence of Inference" existence of re-birth is proved, means Soul acquires another physical body after he has left an existing materialistic body. Our present is a result of our entire past, and again with our accomplishments in the present,
7/n
present , we shall be moving to the next life. As much we become aware of this fact , so much we become aware of our present actions and future plannings.

Definition of Karma

An extraordinary effort, done by the soul with body, mind and both kind of senses for attaining pleasures and to get rid of pains is called Karma.( Aryodeshyaratnamala- No.48).
9/n
According to the law of Karma, sooner or later we have to reap what we have sown. It is not possible that any action goes in waste without giving its fruit to the doer.

Classification

Karmas can be classified in different ways---

1 . Punya Karmas –Virtuous deeds are those which are done with good intention and produce positive and satisfying fruits, such as giving charity with purity, to speak truth etc. Actions , which make us grow
11/n
grow as well as the society and help us to experience real contentment, peace, happiness and fearlessness are called good deeds.

2 . Paap Karmas- Sinful or bad actions are done with bad intention and by which other suffer unjustly such as, stealing, telling lies etc.
12/n
Bad actions are evil and produce negative and bear painful fruits .

Additionally, Actions, which degrade us and the society and lead us to experience negativity like fear, doubt, shame, restlessness etc. are called Paap Karmas.
13/n
3. Mixed Karmas: Mixed Karmas are mixture of some Punya(Virtuous acts) and some Paap Karmas (Sinful acts), such as in the process of farming one gets a good harvest but at the same time some creatures are killed.
14/n
When action is good but intention is bad and vice-versa, then also the karma is said to be ‘Mixed Karma’. The actions of average people are mixed , black and white, and produce mixed results.
15/n
4.Nishkaam Karma- The Punya-Karma done with the intention of attaining Salvation only, without having even a trace of worldly desire nd attachment to worldly results , and r executed with equanimous state of mind and total surrenderance to Ishwara are called Nishkaam Karmas.
16/n
The second way of classification

1. KRIYAMAAN KARMAS( Karmas in progress) - These Karmas are those which are being done in the present time .

2. SANCHIT KARMAS (Stored or Latent Karmas)- Karmas, which have been performed and awaiting fruit of action.
17/n
3. PRARABDH KARMAS ( Mature Karmas, Bhagya, Luck, Fortune, Fate, Destiny) -

Are the karmas, which have completed their gestation period and have ripened that their rewards have begun. A ripened part of Sanchit karmas, which has started to give its fruit in....
18/n
which has started to give its fruit in the form of Life state, Life period and Life experience in one’s life by birth is called Prarabdh.
19/n
Past karmas those are now fructifying to give Jaati (Kind of life i.e., Human life, anminal , tree plant etc. , ), Aayu (Life span i.e., how long we live in the life) and Bhog (kind of pleasure i.e., rich or poor, and levels of comfort offered in the life by birth).
20/n
Third way of classification - How actions are performed

1. (कृत कर्म) – Actions , which I do myself

2. (कारित कर्म )- Actions, which I get them done by others

3. (अनुमोदित कर्म)- Actions, which I approve of them when they are done by others either expressly or silently.
21/n
Some common questions regarding Law of Karma are covered below

Ques.1 We feel good after performing good karma. Is that feeling of goodness, the fruit of that good karma? And vice versa.

Ans: No, feeling good or bad inside is merely response or reaction to those karmas.
22/n
It is not the fruit/Phal of those actions. Fruit of those karmas which couldn’t be justly obtained in the world’s court is given by Ishwara. Karma can’t give it’s fruit by itself, as the result of examination cannot be declared by the answers itself.
