KARM-SCIENTIFICALLY
LAXMICHAND KENIA
Karm Theory is associated with Jainism, Buddhism Hinduism etc. Indian Religions, also called Karm Sanskar by some, can be explained by science to aid individual's understanding and thus shaping their own life.
Karm theory means `Cause and effect' relationship in science and as such `if you want to remove effect you simply take away the cause. For example if you do not want suffering in life...remove the cause of suffering and suffering will disappear.'
The karm principles and cause-effect can be understood completely only by Kewli Bhagwant or TIRTHANKAR, ARIHANT, SIDHHA etc who have fathomed the entire causality. They know past, present and future, why and what etc and evolved as a Kevalya Gyani. However, everyone should attempt to understand the theroy to better shape their current and future lives and own `SADHANA' thus aiding the process of Karm-Nirjara leading to Maux.
Karm is a way of looking at things that is part of right understanding. It is also essence of right action because it's both intentions and the actions in which intentions become translated, which becomes part of karm. The difficulty with Karm is it's not always obvious where our Karm is coming from or to what karm really refers to.
Karm as a Tool: Karm is a concept, a tool that can be applied only to ONESELF. We can not and should not use this word or idea of karm when we look at the other people.
For example
(1) When you say "Mr. Mehta had a heart attack and he was a smoker...you know it was just his karm.' No...you can not apply karm theory for other person and seemingly apply implicit judgement and devalue him. Its not right use of word karm.
(2) Similarly with your generous intentions you can not say Mrs. Sethia has worked hard, she trained & trained, that's why she won the price at Marathon. What a great karm.'
Only Kewli knows the cause and effect every

where and understand it perfectly can apply it to some one else. You can not and should not apply.
Each tool has right way and scope of using. You must understand the limitations first. The laptop can not be used to tighten nut and bolt !!!! So understand the Correct use.
(a) Human Being is a sequentially Causal Phenomenon: When you sit in Samayik or meditation with closed eyes and look inward and see sensation of body and concentrate on it you realise that `Every thing is Changing.' Atom is changing. Molecule is changing. Compound is changing, Cells are changing, Organs are changing, Blood is changing etc. We notice that one event causes next event.
Each event every moment flows in to another one in the same manner as a river flows in a serial harnessed sequence.
Learn to Accept Change naturaly, without Raag and Dwesh.
(b) Newtonian Physics: On Billiard or Pool table, you take cue and hit one ball and that ball hits another ball. It's possible to predict what a second ball will do. As per Newtonian physics of linear cause and effect, The momentum of first ball and the angle of its strike to second ball with give you exact prediction of what will happen to second ball.
This is how some Karm works in a simple predictable Manner. They can be described by linear equations. However other karmas are more complex.
(c) Non Linear Equations: More complex Karmcause and effect can be understood with tools like Nonlinear equations.
An equation is a law or a statement and the statement creates a line, picture, a graphy and that give you ability to predict in to future based up on original statement. Complex equation can be solved using algorithms and use of computer technology. Meteorologist use may non linear equations to analyze complex cause and effect relationships to predict weather.
This is the reason we can now better predict weather
