Life
As you sow, so shall you reap
This is a great saying and it fits for all of us whether rich or poor human or animals, big or small.
We can’t sow thorns and reap apples. The law of karma is universal. It applies equally to all. Every thought, word, deed, emotion, feeling and wish are the seeds we show in the fields of life. In due course the seeds will germinate and grow into trees and yield fruit bitter or sweet, which we shall have to eat. No one else that can do for us.
There are causes that produce their effect immediately. There are other causes that produce their after after long time. If we overeat, it is cause we have created. It produces an immediate effect ie indigestion. There are other causes which take time to produce its effect, every seed must yield its fruit. This is the law of Karma. We are told all men are created equal. No one can be so foolish as to imagine that there is actual equality of ability or environment or conditions of birth for all. Why, in the same family, do all children not have equal ability or intelligence ?
A proverb says “ The mother gives birth to children, each brings with himself his destiny”, Each one brings his one Karma, Among siblings, one might become a millionaire , while another struggles to make ends meet.
Two questions arise:
1. Is this inequality the result of Karma?
2. And if so is this fair.?
The answer to both is as the sages of India have taught us is in the affirmative . We are the architect of our own destiny. We are the builder of our own life. Every thought. Emotion, Wish and action crates Karma: and we have been creating karma for thousands, perhaps millions of years.
If our thoughts, emotions and actions are benevolent ie good karma results. If they are malevolent, evil or difficult karma is created. The good or evil we generate attaches itself to us and remains in our life until we have neutralized it.
