Karma and Dharma- Hinduism

He is dancing inside this net that can not be torn out and escaped even by the strongest man.

If he closes all the doors and kills a person and disposes the body, he may escape from the punishments of law today. But, he will be caught in some other case and be punished twice the normal punishment for that offence. Because, he has done that crime under the laws of karma.

A person may speak like a pure leader and cheat the innocent people, and he may escape from the law that day. But, one day, he will be caught red handed and his real face will be shown to the outer world.

A person may get bribes and escapes from the punishments today. But, he will definitely be caught one day and the whole world will come to know about him. If he escapes in this birth, this karma will be carried out and he will be punished severely in his next birth.

A king consulted an astrologer who is very accurate in his predictions. The king asked how long he will live further.

The astrologer after calculation told that the king: “You will die next month on 5 th July at 7 am by being bitten by a snake as you killed a brahmana by throwing a snake inside his house in your last birth.”

The king got angry. He shouted: “If your predictions become wrong, I will severe your head from your body.. I will prove this fate as wrong and take yr head on 6th July.”

The king asked the servants to arrange a bed at the top empty terace of the palace and close all the doors and windows that gives way to the terrace. He also told them that not even an ant should come to the top floor on 5th july.

On 4 th july evening itself, he went to the empty terrace and lied on the bed closing all the entries to the terrace. He felt very safe that no snake can enter the top terrace. So, he peacefully slept.

Next morning, the king was still asleep at 7 am. In the sky, a Garuda was holding a cobra with its legs. When that Garuda came just above the terrace where the king was peacefully asleep, that snake escaped from Garuda’s hold and fell down exactly on that sleping king. As that snake was very angry being held by that garuda, it strongly bit that king. The king died exactly at 7 am.

Thus, even a king could not escape from the bad karma he did in his previous birth. What about us?

So, the people should never think that they can do anything within the closed walls deceiving others. Their concrete doors can not screen the eyes of the Laws Of Karma. Because, this network has been designed by God Himself to maintain dharma in the world.

One may deceive the people; But, he can not deceive the laws of the Lord. Because, he is tied with His laws that he is unable to realise.

Karma and Dharma the two dominant forces of Hinduism.
