But, in the
real world most of us do care about the result. By default we can not decide not to do
karma. Every one who is living has to do karma.
Also, every Karma produces a result. But, the result is not in our control.
In this case it is easy to comprehend the Nishkam Karma in
theory. If the results are not in your control, leave the results in the hand of the
Parmatma.
But, the Hindus went into the basics of how Sakam Karma
influences the Samskara, how the results can be influenced by Sakam Puja and so on.
Before we look at the basics of Sakam Karma, let us examine
the incidents of Mahabharata.
Kaurav and Pandav are fighting. Duryo- dhana has a stronger
army. Bhisma Pitamah, Dronacharya, Karna and many such well trained warriors are on his
side.
It is impossible to defeat one of them. How can any one
defeat all of them. Arjuna and all were trained by Dronacharya and Bhisma Pitamaha who
were on the Kaurava side.
They were fighting for an outcome of winning the war. |
