How to change your Karmic destiny
Here I want to remind that the Planets are no imagination; they are real and an identity of the law of the great God. As science has been progressing many of the principles of spiritualism and astrology are being proved right. Every planet contains certain proportion of a colored ray in its light. These rays affect and influence our bodies. Planets do not disburse any happiness or pain; rather they disburse the fruits of man’s actions. It is true that man suffers because of his own misdeeds. Planets only indicate the destiny which man gets because of his own Karma.
The artificial / worldly life-style adopted in the present day may not indicate the effects of the rays of the planets on our lives, but this cannot be ignored that Indian philosophy and spiritual studies have revealed that the main reason behind man’s suffering-happiness, progress-regress, life-death is his Karma. Planets only foretell about them and caution how adversities can be changed.
This further clarifies that man is not helpless just to suffer because of previous misdeeds. He can influence previous Karma by doing the right Karma in the present life. For example, if a person suffers from constipation due to irregular food habits and goes to a naturopath, he would advice him to go on a fast for ten days. That means he suffers for ten days going without food for his previous Karma of irregular food intake. But if he goes to a doctor and takes some remedial medicine, he will be cured in two days without suffering from any fasting. Like this if we take the remedial steps based on the indications given by the planets, our sufferings due to previous Karma can be avoided or lessened.
If we make efforts to rectify / remove potential adversities as indicated by the positioning of the planets, i.e. if we can take advantage of the previous information got from the movement of the planets and take the right step at the right time, we can not only make better our present but also our future life.
It is clearly specified in Indian philosophy that we have to reap the fruits of our Karma. But there is a law when we shall reap that Karma. Every doer receives the fruit according to this law only. It is said that Karma is ripe when the time arrives for the doer to receive the fruit. The principle which specifies this is known as completion of the cycle of Karma. Hence from the point of view of the cycle of Karma, whatever Karma remains un-dissipated through births to the present life is known as accumulated Karma. It is not possible to reap the fruits of Karma gained through many births at one go, as many of these fruits are contradictory to each other. That is why they have to be reaped one after another. Those fruits which have already got being dispensed are known as the inherited ones. The implication is that whatever fruits we reap in the present is a very small part of the accumulated fruits of Karma which is the inherited one. But whatever Karma we are doing now, the fruits of that are known as the fruits of the Karma in action.
Life is such a precious gift which has been given to us as a favor by our maker. That is why it is inherent in every living being since birth to live this life to the fullest. That is why every living being, whether big or small, wants to live on. Nobody wants to die or suffer pain. Everybody wants to live a life of happiness and enjoy it fully. Hence, all living beings make efforts to do everything that is required to remain alive and are ready face great risks to save their precious lives.
You must have noticed how even a small ant tries to save its life and make its life joyful. It keeps on making continuous efforts to arrange for its food and abode so that it remains alive. Along with it, it also ensures the safety of the next generation without any complaints. This fact is applicable to other birds and animals also. Man is considered to be the best creation of life. He too keeps on trying to live a life of happiness naturally. But if man too, spends his life only in the pursuit of getting his livelihood like other creatures, then what would be the difference between him and others? Then why should he be called the best creation of all? Most of the people think that man is called the best creation because of his intelligence. But our ancient seers have considered man the best because of him being a part of the Karma dominated birth. Only man has got the special right to do Karma. And if he wants to be free from the cycle of births and rebirths, then he can do it in his human life only. |
