AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

‘The soul is not polluted by the sinful or evil actions of the external being’, Is karma for external being only? ✨🌱⚖️🪷

Karma is an evolutionary mechanism, a system of learning through the experiences that follow our actions or rather the motives behind our actions. Thus we learn and grow. Since the true person growing within us is the soul, this learning extends over lives and need not necessarily be through visible or tangible outer effects. As we grow in consciousness, faith and surrender, then the learning is also subjective and quick. The karmic law of growth through learning gets modified and eventually is no more needed. It has served its purpose of awakening us from the state of deep tamasic sleep and the rajasic excitement. It is meant for the growth of our inner being only and has little to do with reward and punishment. That is a misreading of the karmic mechanism by our ignorant mind, nothing else. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
