The Toll of Karma
In above example, hydrogen as a Karma has reacted with nitrogen as a soul only for a short period of time but the product as ammonia is for a long long time. This ammonia now comes in contact with water as another Karmic Particles producing another compound whose physical form is all together is different than others. Karmic Particles when attached to Atma or Atma has not been charged with Karmic Particles is thus no longer the same as before. In above example we know the physical and chemical properties of nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia are all together different. Nitrogen is a gas and hydrogen is very combustive whereas ammonia is known as tear gas or a gas which produces tears by affecting the eyes when exposed to it.
Now a question arises as to how long this Karmic bondage is for? What's the result? These Karmic actions may act or come to play their role only when the proper environment is present. They act only when the proper time has come. They are subjected to time dimension. For example, in above example ammonia will be smelled or will produce tears when we are exposed with this compound. But if the same ammonia is in a closed container, nothing will happen to our nose or eyes or lungs. The mode of action or results of Karmic particles are not as simple as most of us think. The
