Earth is called Karma Bhoomi as per our ancient scriptures
& texts. Purpose of why we are living here on Earth in various life forms
is also explained in our ancient scriptures. A normal human being is unable to
comprehend & understand the intricacies of prescribed life. We are busy in
maintaining balance of routine life. We also don’t have access to the level of
education to study ancient scriptures. We live our life in a routine way
without knowing the real purpose of our existence.
There are many theories on evolution, many explanations in
religious texts about our existence, many thoughts propagated by religious
gurus & thinkers on the way we should conduct ourselves according to our
Dharma n Karmas & many cosmic theories about our universe. There have been
innumerable explanations & theories regarding our Dharma & Karmas but
no easy explanations or guidelines showing how to go about it in life. We hear
& read about Dharma/Karma but not about what they mean to our present, past
& future life.

This is the place where superior beings who have sinned in
their world are incarcerated to atone for their sins. Earth is the prison for
the enlightened souls who have sinned or acted against the norms prescribed in
their world. They are formless & called Soul. Our faculties are unable to
sense their presence but feel their existence. Various beings/body forms of
life are the compartments where the soul is incarcerated as per his Karma/Deeds.
The idea of Earth itself justifies of a life form superior
to us. We all have been taught that there is a superior being or life form
which controls us. We have been taught that he is the Creator, Provider &
Destroyer. When we talk of superior beings, we can`t think of one person or
being. It has to be a place inhabited by life forms superior to us.
We have been taught that our Gods, Avatars, Saints,
Religious Heads/Gurus are highly evolved superior beings who have come from up
above or higher world inhabited by Gods. We revere them & keep them on
higher pedestal than us. We try to emulate their behaviour & thoughts.
Gurus preach & teach us the righteous path led by them & extoll us to
follow. Our History, Mythology & Religious texts illustrates of instances
where Superior beings have taken birth on Earth to guide & show us the
right path, the enlightened path of The Almighty. We pray & look upon these
souls for guidance because they have set an example for us mortals to follow on
how to live a righteous life.

No religion teaches hatred but love for all & to be
Humane. All religions on Earth had a propagator whom we call a Messiah or
Prophet or Messenger of God. We look upon them in reverence & treat them as
God. We follow their teachings as Gospel truth & their life as the proper
way to lead an ideal life. We believe that Prophets/Saints are sent by God to
lead us to the right path. I have read many religious texts, heard many
discourses & read many books. Mostly they talk about our Dharma &
Karma. Our Dharma is determined according to our body form. For every body form
there is a prescribed way to conduct/behave. Dharma of Humans is to be Humane.

Earth is called Karma Bhoomi, the place where our Karmas/
Deeds decide our destiny. Here what we sow we reap. Good for good Bad for bad.
We expect immediate result. We don`t understand that it is culmination of
series of Karmas/Deeds during the lifetime. It is not net of good & bad as
the end result. Our balance sheet determines the life we live. If good deeds outweigh
bad deeds, then we will lead a better life but we will also have to suffer for
our bad karmas.
Net effect determines the Quality of our life. Every deed
has its consequences. We are accountable for all our deeds. The effect is over
a lifetime. Some deeds/karmas effects are felt during the present lifetime.
Some are carried forward to future life. Karmas are carried forward as DNA to a
new life. Karmas are our deeds. How we behave or react to situations are known
as Karmas. Positive Karmas are those which are as per accepted norms of Dharma.
Negative Karmas are deeds for benefit out of greed, to harm others or which are
not as per Dharma. An ideal life is one full of Karmas as per our Dharma.
Dharma is the norm of behaviour as per Birth & body
form. Karmas are the deeds we perform in a body form. When our Dharma &
Karma work in tandem then we move up the ladder of creation. Human form is said
to be the closest creation to God because of its evolved faculties &
intellect. We are the greatest culprit of the Creator. Humans have destroyed
the balance created for smooth functioning of the Universe. Our greed & our
intellect have tried to control all the resources for our benefits leaving no
room for other creatures & beings to enjoy. This has created bad karmas. We
carry the load of bad karmas to every birth.

We wonder why reaction & emotion of every being is
different from one another. This is the effect of our karmas. Every situation,
every action, every facilities of Nature & every faculty of body is same
for all human beings. Even then every individual`s reaction to a given
situation varies. Any situation will have varied response from all those
who had experienced it. Some will be panicky, some analytical, some casual,
some dismissal and things like that. This type of varied behaviour is typical
of Human beings.
Karma is at play here. Karma determines the life form we
are born in and sufferings which we will be facing in life. Dharma is the way
of life which we should follow in a particular body form. Karma determines our
life form & Dharma determines our upliftment. Animal beings live normally
according to the Dharma of their life form. Human beings are the ones who
generally deviate from their Dharma. They have analytical & individual way
of thinking.
Humans have an evolved & analytical brain. An
analytical brain tries to analyse every situation & come to a conclusion
according to his knowledge. Animal behaviour in a particular body form is
similar. All Lions will behave similarly to a particular situation. Similarly,
all animals born in a particular body form will have same reactions to a
particular situation. Difference between different life form is because of
their Dharma & their Karma. Other life forms generally have a low life
span. Their brain is not highly evolved & analytical. As they rarely deviate
from their Dharma they move up quickly to a higher life form.
We use all that has been provided by God. Instead of being
grateful, we have started destroying natural resources. Greed has taken over
our sense of responsibilities. Humans are the destroyer & exploiter of Gods
gifts to us. Other beings live according to their Dharma. Only humans have
deviated from the prescribed Dharma or norms laid out by God. Those who act
against the norms have to be punished according to law. Law of land is laid
down in writing but law of the Creator is embedded in nature.
