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.

Miracle of one dollar and eleven cents

A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet. She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly perfect. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above the door. She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she could muster No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it! "And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said without waiting for a reply >> to his question. "Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle." ''I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist. His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside >> his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So >> how much does a miracle cost?" "We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help you," the pharmacist said, softening a little. "Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough,I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs." The pharmacist's brother was a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?" I don't know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. "I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money." "How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago. "One dollar and eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly. And it's all the money I have, but I can get some more if I need to." "Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven cents--- the exact price of a miracle for little brothers. " He took her money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said "Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you need." That well dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well. Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. "That surgery," her Mom whispered. "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost?" Tess smiled.. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost...one dollar and eleven cents ..... plus the faith of a little child..
