::::: Law of Karma :::::
The law of karma means causation. Whenever there is a cause an effect must be produced. In other words , karma means not only action but also result of an action. The consequences of action is not a separate thing. The causer of the action cannot be separated from the action.
Behind a action , there are desires and thoughts , desires of object arises in the mind then one thinks of how the desire can be fulfilled, then exerts to posses the desire to be fulfilled. Desire and the action always go together. Thought of desire , how to fulfill the desire and the action to achieve the desire ,these are the three threads that are the causes of the karma.
The law of karma is one of the fundamental doctoring in Hinduism . as a men sows so shell he rip. This is the law of karma. If you do an evil action you will suffer from it . On the other hand, if you do a good action you will benefit form it. There is no power on the earth which can stop the result of karma from yielding its fruits. Every thought, every word every deed is as if were weighted on the scale of eternal justice.
Hindu believes things on this universe do not happen accidentally of haphazardly. There is a certain definite connection between what is happening now, and the law of karma.
Every action produces 3 fold effect. It will give you an appropriate reward, will effect your character, leaves behind an impression in your mind. Just as a mango seed produces a mango tree and rice planted in the field produces a rice plant, wheat plane will result in wheat harvest, the karma produces an equivalent result good or bad according to your deed. If you do evil actions you will rip pain and suffering as your benefit. If you do good things you will rip pleasure and happiness. This is the basic law of karma. What ever you saw by your action comes back to you.
Your actions of the past are responsible for your present condition your present action will shape will shape your future, there is nothing chaotic in this world. You will become good by good actions and bad by bad actions. Understand this law, and live wisely, have noble thoughts that will only bring you happiness.
There are three kinds of karma, sanchita (ac*****ulated works) , prarabdha ( fructifying works) and kriyamana ( current works).
Sanchita is all the ac*****ulated karma of the past , part of its is seen in the character in the men in his tendencies and aptitude , capacities inclinations and desires etc. all tendencies comes form this. The present body is the result of all the past prarabdha karma. Sanchit karma , which influences the present life is called prarabdha, it cant be avoided or change. It can be only cleared up by being experienced. As if you are paying your past debts.
Prarabdha karma is one that has began and bearing fruits. It is selected out of the mass of the sanchita karma.
Kriyamana is that karma which is now being made for the future. Its also called agami or vartamana.
The above can be best explained by a beautiful analogy for the vedantic example of a bowman. That is , imagine a bowman has shot an arrow, and the arrow has left his hands ( this would represent the prarabdha karma) . He has no control over that arrow. He is about to shoot another arrow ( which represents kriyaman karma) , and has a bundle of arrow in his quiver on his back (which represents the sanchita karma ) on which he has full control. The past which he just began by firing the first arrow , its results he will have to experience depending weather he fired the arrow for killing somebody or he fired the arrow for a very good cause.
Hindus believe a lot of sanchita karma can be destroyed by worship and attaining knowledge of eternal god.
Kriyamana karma can be destroyed by expiatory or prayashchitta ( excepting ones mistakes and apologizing or clearing through the performance through rites.)
