LIFE
OF LIFE
Excerpt from the Book “KARMA LINGA” by
Bharat P. Bedi
Life of our Life is not the life of a
body but the Bodiless or Intangible life that a Soul is forced to live on Earth
in a body form as per the accumulated Karmas. Bodiless or the Intangible world
of Soul/Spirit and Karma is the real world. Material or Tangible world of Body
& the world we see around are cell for Incarceration of our Spirit/Soul as
punishment for Sins or Bad Karmas. These cells are provided as grounding place
for atonement & upliftment. We waste it for pleasure & enjoyment. Body,
Place, Region & other identifiable criteria are all very advanced version
of Algorithms & Tabular forms that Technology firms use in analyzing our
Data to give us what we deserve.

Life of our body is not to be termed as
lifetime. Lifetime is to be calculated as life a Soul has to suffer trapped in
a body on Earth till he is liberated or attains Moksha. Material things have a
time bound life. Tangible things have a life span but intangible things are
eternal like Soul & karmas.
Life is very simple. How we live life
is dependent on us. We can have a peaceful & happy life enjoying every
present moment or we can have a troubled life foregoing pleasure of the present
for imagined luxury of future. We can live life within our means or fashion our
life aspiring for things which others have. When we live within our means we
are happy & enjoy the present. When we aspire to live others standard
of life we stop enjoying what we have at present. We live life planning for the
future but we are not sure what future holds for us.
Life always gives you back what you
give out. Life is a mirror of our actions. If we want love give more love. If
we want kindness give more kindness. If we want respect give more respect. If
we want understanding give more understanding. If we want forgiveness then
forgive people who have hurt us. If we want people to be patient with us then
we should learn to be patient with them.
At Birth we get a readymade family, a
background by which we will be recognised with, a place called house, a social
standard from which we start our life journey & a support system which will
help us grow. We had not asked for it. We got all this on a platter. All this
we get it free. From here it is up to us as to how to utilise this opportunity.
God has given us a clean slate to start with. Now it is for us to improve
on our karmas or waste this opportunity.
Life is a continuous process. It
doesn`t start & end with our life. As we are not aware of our past &
future life we think that what is present is the life. We have not been able to
comprehend the true depth of this life circle or the laws of the universe. Till
the time a Soul is trapped in an earthly body our life cycle continues. A body
has a life span. It has to perish as per norms but to atone for his karmas the
soul has to take a new body form.

In our lifetime we have experienced
many instances where we are unable to comprehend the situation around us. We
feel God is not doing justice. Good people are suffering & those who should
be punished are enjoying. Karmas are at play. We see things as per our
perspective. We can think & understand according to knowledge we have
acquired. Our thinking is based on what we see & not what is at play as per
celestial laws. Those who have a wider perspective of life will have a better
understanding of a situation.
In spite of repeated reminders, we fail
to understand that our body is made of 2 parts - Physical & Spiritual.
Physical is the life form which can be seen & touched. Spiritual is the
soul which gives life to the body & is formless. Spirit/Soul is
incarcerated in a body form allotted as per karmas. We are living a life of our
past karmas. All our actions, reactions, emotions, thoughts & their
implications are carried out thru bodily functions whereas our teachings teach
us that it is our Soul which is eternal & indestructible. Whatever be the
effect of our efforts, our bodily faculties are the experiencers of those
effects. We assume that our body is do all of all our deeds.
As a life form we are made up of Past
karmas & Soul. God has given us a present by which we can atone for
our past. Soul is the fulcrum around which our past & present come
together. Nothing can change the past. There is good in between in the form of
Soul. Present is the chance to change the course. If we are not enticed by
this materialist world we can create good karmas. This good karma can help us
to live a better future life.
We have been taught that birth &
death is not in our hands. It is not true. It is in the hands of our
accumulated Karmas. Everything in this world has some meaning or connection. We
are bound by our past birth karmas. We are born in a particular setup
because of our past karmas. The parents we get are result of our past karma.
But the future is in our hands. How we live our present life will decide about
our future life. In fact, our life & death is in our hands but not of this
life but our next life. Our present life karmas decides our future life.
Like in our present life, God or
Almighty or The Creator has also some laid down norms for smooth functioning of
the Universe. God has provided us all that are required for us to sustain
ourselves. Nature is full of supplies to give us food to sustain, minerals to
prosper, raw materials to create, medicines & herbs for health. Everything
provided by God is of benefit to us. Land, Water, Sky & many such natural
resources are providers to sustain this world.
This world has all the facilities for
us to live a comfortable & peaceful life. All the natural resources are
common for all the inhabitants. What is required by a human being for survival
is also required by an animal, insect, worm, aquatic animal, birds, plant &
reptiles. These natural resources are perennial & never exhausting. These
lifegiving resources are free for all inhabitants of this universe.
There are many instances in life which
we are unable to comprehend or understand. We wonder why such things are happening
in our life. Many a times we wonder about sufferings to ourselves or to
people we know. We experience innumerable good & bad instances in our life.
We wonder what we have done to deserve this. We are unable to co-relate
instances with our present predicament. We wonder who we are, what we are &
why we are here. Are we the person or being as seen as a body form or are we
the unseen & formless energy that is known as the Spirit or Soul.
