Excerpt from the book "KARMA LINGA"
Spiritual or Inner life—SOUL.
First part is our Soul. Soul is eternal till the time it is on Earth. Soul shifts from one life to another life or life form carrying load of past karmas like our personal assistant. Furthermore, according to our past karmas soul infuses life energy in our senses & faculties at the time of birth. Infusion of life energy is as per the dictates of our karmas. We are born with drawbacks related to our past karmas. Physical & Mental defects & deficiencies which some of us are born with are the result of our past Karmas. Good karmas uplift our life from the present to a better life or life form whereas bad karmas pull us down from our present life or life form. That means we are solely responsible for the life we are living. What we sow we reap.
Living or Life part—BODY.
Second part is our Birth. Our body is the medium of the Soul. Our body
has a life time. We are bound by the shackles of our past birth but are given a
clean slate to start life afresh. That is why we don`t remember anything of our
past life or see what future holds for us. We have to face situations as it
unfolds. How we face the situations determines strength of our character &
grit of our convictions.
What defects we are born with we have to bear it. In the course of our
present life we may face many difficult & good times as destined by our
karmas. We can`t escape the consequences of our karmas but we can offset the
severity of effects by good karmas of present life. God gives us a fresh chance
to live life as per the norms laid out by him. Drawbacks & defects which we
face are like reminders to us of the follies which we committed in our previous
births thus creating bad karmas.
God has showcased various life forms such as insects, worms, reptiles,
animals, birds, aquatic animals etc. & also varied sufferings of human
beings for us to see what life we will have if our karmas are bad. We just observe
the surrounding instead of taking it as a caution to live a virtuous life
creating good karmas.
