will be humble (nirmaani).
The theory of karma is like this: While doing something
wrong, if the inner intent (bhaav) reverses and changes to the
contrary, then such will be the karma that will be bound for next
life. And if while ‘doing’ something wrong, one is pleased with
what he is doing and has the intent and decision, ‘This is verily
worth doing,’ then he binds even a heavier new karma. This
karma will become heavy and ‘sticky’ (nikachit), which he will
have no choice but to suffer.
This whole science is worth understanding. This science of
the Vitarag Lords is very profound.
Equanimity is Not Reacting to the Unfolding
Karma Effect
The principle of Akram Vignan is such that if a person is
dropping his money, first we stop the money from falling (we
stop the causes) and then we pick up the money he has dropped
(then we tackle the effects). The world keeps picking up the
fallen money. Hey you! Why don’t you first stop the money
from falling, otherwise there will be no end to it (nikaal).
Aside from the Self (the Soul), what else is there? It is the
interaction of the non-Self (vyavahar). This vyavahar is
dependent on other factors and evidences (par-aashrit). ‘You’
do not have even the slightest of control over it. People believe
they have control over (swa-aashrit) that which is not under
their control (par-aashrit). One person will believe this, then
another one will, and thus you will believe it too. Then you will
never think about it again. Once the disease takes hold, how can
anyone get rid of it? Thus the worldly disease kept on increasing
until it became chronic. When you could not get rid of this
disease before it became chronic, then how are you going to get
rid of it now that it has become chronic? It will go away if one
attains the knowledge of this science of Akram Vignan.
