KARMA: THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

“Karma” or Action on which Bhagwan Krishana persistently emphasized when delivered Geeta Updesh to Arjun. He explained that the most important “Dharma” or deed of all organisms on this earth is “Karma”. A bird’s karma is to search for food, feed its little babies and train them to fly high in the sky. A tiger or loin’s karma is to hunt, arrange food for self and their cubs or to defend its territory. The same rule applies for human beings. A child karma’s is to study hard and make his own path, a household woman should take care of her house and family members, a man’s karma  is to do work and earn for his family, a teacher must teach with dedication to students, a doctor has to treat his patient selflessly etc. In this way nature has assigned role for every one in this universe. Even the sun or the moon or the wind or ocean has their karmas and they are performing according to the role assigned to them.

While preaching “Arjun” at battle ground of “Kurukshtera” Bhagwan Krishna clearly told that at this juncture your karma is to fight regardless of what your relation with your enemies and while doing this you will perform your true dharma. One more beautiful phrase he added “submission of your good or bad karmas to me” or do not worry about what reward you will get for your karmas. It’s really true we are not the right person to judge if our karmas are good or bad. All what we are defining is as per our own convenience or as per the convenience of society that’s called man made norms.

When we expect reward of our karmas according to our own definition and when it’s not happens as per our expectations, we get frustration, become anxious and fell into depression. Anxiety disorders occur out of the fear, that we will be punished for our bad karmas.  Definition of those good or bad karmas is sometimes seems very illogical. Hence, setting himself free from logical fear is the path to happiness, which is possible when we follow the true philosophy of the karmas given by Lord Krishna.
