Death Defying Acts-Part 11—Is Life all about making the Right Choices?

Did you ditch anybody in your life?

Do you think safe that nobody has noticed?

There are plenty of things that are free in a microscopic sense. There are things that are free to individuals, organizations etc. When you pick up a penny on the street, that is free for you.

But in the macroscopic sense, nothing is free. In the macroscopic sense, the world is a closed-system, where nothing is truly created or newly introduced, but only TRANSFORMED. That penny you picked up probably dropped from another person's pocket, making that person poorer.

The Upanishad tells us this secret of cosmic interconnectedness and involution of factors which are unknown to the senses and unthinkable to the mind. There is no such thing as a private act in this world.

The birth of a human being in this world does not take place in this world alone, exclusively. It takes place in the highest regions first.

One is born first in the higher levels in certain degrees of expression, and the impact of this birth is felt in the lower levels until it becomes visible to the physical eye on this mortal earth. Then we say that a child is born, someone has come, and there is a rebirth, and so on. But this someone has not come suddenly from the skies. There has been a complicated interior preceding process, which always manages to escape the notice of ordinary vision.

This is the case not only with the birth of a human being, but it is so with the coming of every event in the world.

The Upanishad tells us, here, that the first vibration propelling any kind of activity or event in this world takes place not in this world alone, but in a higher realm.

The cause has to be churned first in order that the effect may feel the impact of that stir in the cause. Now, the cause is not merely a single factor. There is a chain of factors involved in the conception of the cause.

Let us look at this beautiful explanation:

If, for the purpose of our study, we may say A is the effect that is physically felt by us in this world, it has a cause which is B, impelling this effect to manifest itself in that particular manner in the physical world. But, this B which is the cause of A has another cause behind it, which is C. So, we may say that B is the cause of A, or we may say, C is the cause of A because it is the cause of B also. But, this C has another cause behind it, and that is D. So, while D is the cause of C and B, and through these, of A, we may also say that it is the cause of the last effect also. Thus, the first cause is the real cause which pushes itself downwards to lower levels of reality, until they express themselves in space and time.

Let us see a few cases how the law of Karma works:

If Rajagopal gives pain to his wife by cheating her, by doing this he could be settling a give and take account or could be starting a new account or a combination of both.

Similar will be the case when Rajagopal does a favour to his wife.

Are you getting convinced or confused?
