KARMA

Introduction

The whole gist of life centers around karma. The virtual currency unit in the virtual bank of Samskara is karma.

We have to develop the understanding of karma, nishkam karma, karma sanyas, and why one performs one or the other karma.

A man is born with certain Samskaras; his past pushes him towards doing certain karmas and these karmas are then deposited in the virtual account.

The process continues. What is the way out? How do you reach a zero balance? These are all the areas we will explore in this chapter.

The first thing that must be understood is that no one lives without doing a karma. Karma is not optional. Once born, you have to perfom karma. Krishna in Gita says

Na hi Kachit kshanmapi jatu tisthyakarmkrit karyate hyawashah karma sarva prakritijjairgunaih (3..5)

There is no doubt that no human in any time period even for a moment can be without doing a karma; because the whole humanity is induced to perform karma by the gunas of prakriti.
