Define Sinner
(sinner - karma)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Is there a sinner ever? No! In the system of God Almighty none is a sinner. We only have the veil of ignorance that makes us indulge in activities wanton!

God Almighty created the cosmic system that has plus hundred and also minus hundred. Why so? It is because that at any given point of time the sum total of the total Cosmos must always remain zero.

This minus hundred controls the negative aspect of ones personality. Our indulgence in wanton desires in mundane affairs of life is prompted by this minus hundred. And who controls this minus hundred?

This minus aspect of life is governed by the five senses that do not desire our completing the journey of life in a short span. It was destined by God Almighty that the journey of life by a living being right from the first manifestation as an amoeba to the last... the 8.4 millionth manifestation (when one reaches stage of enlightenment and finally salvation moksha in Hinduism) gets completed in a total of 8.4 million manifestations (a total cosmic life span of about 96.4 million earthly years).

The journey is long... we continue living one life after another. our soul atman within our heart takes care of that. It is our soul atman that manifests one life after another. Our body... our physical manifested life just being an instrument for purification of our soul atman within our heart!

This negative role of senses creates a veil of ignorance and unless this veil is penetrated by gaining wisdom... not much success is achieved on the physical plane of life.

The desire to multiply earthly wealth... the desire to indulge in wanton desires acts as a fuel and retards our spiritual growth. Our quest for knowledge... our quest for gaining wisdom and getting ahead in life slowly but persistently removes the veil of ignorance and brings us on a new platform of life.

This results due to awakening of our Kundalini gradually. More and more successes on the spiritual path give occasional glimpses of the kingdom of God. This reconfirms our faith in the existence of God. We become doubly sure of the spiritual path we are on.

Every sin that gets committed in ignorance needs to be absolved of. As per the doctrine of karma we only reap what we sow... Nothing less or more! If we indulge in sinful activities owing to our ignorance we always have to suffer.

By practicing requisite ascetic chants and mantras, one can always absolve self of the accumulated sins. Prayers to god play a significant role in reducing the negative balance of life. Indulgence in pious activities is desirable even when pursuing mundane affairs of life.

Being religious alone does not make us virtuous. We have to travel the spiritual path. We have to differentiate between virtuous and sinful acts. Remaining ignorant most of the time brings us sufferings in the end. One who truly desires absolving self for ever from the world of sins... we need to accumulate a positive balance of karma in our life.

Every act that brings cheer to the society, every indulgence that has the benefit of mankind ahead of self always get repaid in positive in the end. Living a life tied to the veil of ignorance always brings sufferings. Why not all of us most of the time indulge in activities pious in nature.

It is only then we can hope to live a balanced life free of all sins.
