PRINCIPLES OF KARMA DISTINCTIVE VARIETIES OF THE RISE OF KARMA
The multiple variegated forms of human beings that we find around us in this Universe, are due to the fruition of the innumerable varieties of Karmas. Life as a Human, as a divine being, as an animal, and condemnation to hell are also acquired through different Karmas. Such variations can easily be conceived by observing the differences in the height, weight, facial features, complexion and constitution of different individuals, and differences also in intelligence, inclinations, health, lifespan, family-circumstances, and other characteristics. Let it be clearly understood that these innumerable variations are due to the fruition of varied Karmas that the Jiva has bound with itself previously (in previous lives). REWARD OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF KARMA DOCTRINE
When the Sadhaka, truly gets acquainted with the rules of the doctrine of Karma, he is not disturbed or illumined by immensely variable and unpredictable astonishing events which are continuously happening around him in the world. This is because he has really acquired the scientific knowledge of the cause and effect principle of all these worldly events and processes. When he absorbs this divine doctrine through right knowledge and due enthusiasm in his life, he himself becomes firm in spiritual wisdom. With further spiritual practice, the concepts of one's own true self is beheld and perceived more and more clearly, the belief of oneness and attachment to the non-self and the impure mental states resulting from the rise of previous Karmas is gradually dispelled and eventually shattered completely.
Thus, through proper discrimination between the Soul, the Karmas and their fruition, one's impure states get gradually subdued and a clear comprehension and conviction of the eternal existence of one's true self, being of the nature of indivisible, pure knowledge and supersensuous bliss, is directly accomplished through Self- Realization.
Thus, if the Sadhaka is assisted in his spiritual progress by destruction of illusion and attachment and attains to the state of supreme peace and Samadhi by acquiring a real knowledge of the rules of Karma, he should evidently make incessant efforts to do so.
