Instant Karma
(karma index - instant karma)

There is nothing like instant karma in the cosmic system. Karma is that inherent factor of the cosmic system that makes possible the transfer of balance from one manifestation to another. The doctrine of karma confirms the theory of rebirth (reincarnation). If the concept of rebirth (reincarnation) did not exist... karma would not have existed at all!

As per the doctrine of karma we only get what we sow... Nothing more or less! In the cosmic system there are no free lunches. All is the result of a system that cannot err! The concept of karma stems from the fact that it is our soul atman within that has manifested the body and not vice versa. It is not within the capability of the body to manifest a soul atman.

The continuance of life is inbuilt in the cosmic system! The cosmic life span for a soul atman approximates 96.4 million earthly years... a total of 8.4 million manifestations! Life starts in the cosmic system initially as an amoeba (single cell formation)... the first manifestation! It further evolves into multi-cell formation, insect life, plant life, animal life and finally the form of a human being.

It is through the complex process of karma life moves on in the cosmic system. Whatever the residual balance of karma of the present manifestation at the time of death of the body... the same becomes the opening balance of the next manifestation. If the residual balance of karma of the present manifestation demands our taking birth as a laborer again... so it shall be!

Karma is not a process that human beings could manipulate. There is one element of karma... the factor of Prarabdha karma that makes life worth living. If we have a negative balance of karma from the previous manifestations... it is quite possible we suffer at the hands of fate. If the residual balance of karma is positive... we might win a lottery!

Karma is not a western concept! It is ingrained into Hinduism scriptures as butter in milk. To understand the concept of karma... the doctrine of karma one need understand the Sacred Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna! The law of karma is applicable to all living beings equally... no life can exist in absence of karma!

For one to gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) in this very life... one need cut across the shackles of karma forever! Devoid of karma... the soul atman within regains its original pristine pure form... the 8.4 millionth manifestation! Having reached the end of cosmic life... one finally gains salvation (moksha)! Thereafter it is a direct journey to the kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism).
