Theory of Karma as enunciated in the Bhagavad Gita(By Saroj Bala)\n\nEleven divisions of Duryodhana's army and seven divisions of Yudhishthira'sarmy stood face-to-face in the battleground of Kurukshetra.At that time on Arjun'srequest,Shri Krishna took his chariot between the two armies.When Partha sawgrandsire Bhishma,preceptor Drona,and many other venerated elders,he felt unsettledand told Madhava that his body was trembling,his mind was whirling,and Gandivawas slipping from his hand.Arjun then said that he did not wish to fight the war andthus commit the sin of killing those elders and preceptors to get sovereignty.  \nAt this juncture,through Arjun,Lord Krishna passed on to the World the greatphilosophy of Bhagavad Gita.Besides explaining different aspects of a righteous wayof living,Shri Krishna explained Karma Yoga/theory of Karma in great detail.He askedArjun to do his Karma by fighting the war in order to protect righteousness.He alsoadded that the soul is eternal and indestructible;only the body is perishable.ShriKrishna at that time told Arjun that he need not grieve about the death of relatives andfriends as the life of embodied beings had neither any beginning nor any end.The soulis eternal and changes bodiesjust as we change clothes.Shri Krishna,therefore,advisedArjun to perform his duties without getting attached to their results.The victory ordefeat was not in his hands:  \n市foan2cnRⅢ bcg areGIⅢ hAsegiHesFcacna何II  \nMeaning:OArjun!Your concern is only with actions and not with their fruits.Let not the fruits of actions/karma be your motive;do not feel attached to youractions,but perform these with devotion and sincerity.  \nKarma,which is a Sanskrit word,means action,work,or deed.It refers to thesum total of all deeds one has done or got done through his mind,speech or body;eitherin this life or in the previous lives.Karma also refers to the spiritual principle of causeand effect,which states that an action is always accompanied by its consequences.Theresult of a deed is inherent in the deed itself.No one can escape the effects ofhis actions.The doctrine of Nishkama karma has to be understood in this context.Anything goodor bad one does through his thoughts,words or senses creates an equivalent responsewhich comes back to him,sooner or later,in one form or the other.As one sows,so shallhe reap.This doctrine known as the karmic cycle governs one's life perpetually.  \nLord Krishna further explained that one should work,be steadfast in devotion,abandon attachment,and be equanimous in success and failure.This leads to evennessin success and failure.Action performed with attachment becomes the cause ofbondage,while the same action if performed without attachment with evenness of mind,  \n1  \nnever becomes the cause of bondage.Being universal in nature,the doctrine of karmais impartial.It is not biased in favour of or against anyone.Not only the outward life,the law of karma applies to the inner being also.Apart from the worldly rewards andpunishments,any noble or evil deed produces a corresponding sense of satisfaction orguilt in the mind.  \nSome of these results are experienced in this very life,and others remainpending.Since the unconsumed fruits of actions must eventually be consumed,theconsequences of such pending results are carried along by the soul as it passes from onelife to another.The pending results,thus,become the basis on which the quality of one'snext life is determined.In that life again,actions produce results and cause yet anotherbirth.Thus,the load of one's karma is carried by the soul from life to life.In otherwords,man evolves in accordance with his actions;and the cycle of cause and effectdoes not break even at death.No one can avoid,evade or cheat on karma.Every deedmust bear its favourable or unfavourable fruits.One has to face the consequences of hisdeeds,either in this life or in the future lives.
