In a rather pleasant evening which followed a normal hot and boring summer day, a busy yet surprisingly sporadic sound of vehicles is rendered in the uptown of Chennai. Annanagar which is a huge residential area inhibiting a mixed demographic population mostly dominated by the upscale, with its canopied avenues and buzzing metro project and the highways department doing its bit to supplement the efforts to radically change what was a heavenly residential area to a dust stormed realm, has often not provided much to talk about except for the unpardonable twin blasts near Chennai central railway station that inhumanely killed one woman primed to be settled and seventeen critically injured. It intrigued me about a mystic yet simple so called "old-system-of-belief" called KARMA. The very word every single poor fellow says to himself when he does a good deed hoping there is a bank that fills up his account of the good and bad one has been a part of, for which he may be duly rewarded or inevitably punished as the belief goes.
Whether you believe in heaven and hell every religions finds itself referring to this karma in one form or the other, whether with after life or without. And it has to be said for an old system of belief in India; a lot seems ambiguous on this front. Yet let’s just plunge into this pool of belief said my inevitable spirit to explore new avenues.
Karma whether is an account that keeps score and settles with due time or an instrument of score keeping as failed as a chit fund is a matter we will never get to the bottom of. But one thing is for sure it is similar to the idea of life in itself with regards to destiny. How?!! You may inquire. It is as in how every single choice we make and every single thought we pursue whether honorable or notorious shapes our upcoming events and eventually our lives and future. It is like that karma defines itself saying every deed whether good or devious, small or lifesaving shall result in someone else returning that as a chain of favors or misfortunes as the case may be, but with one variation among religions. To those who believe in afterlife and next birth its occurrence is timed accordingly with a few lives to work with. To the rest who don’t believe in afterlife or next birth as such karma gets to u in the same life. (in tamil there is a saying thats goes like this முற்பகல் செய்யின் பிற்பகல் தாமே வரும்) similar to WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. But one thing is for sure, as per the belief karma follows us amicably like a pug as in the commercials or a bloodhound that chases u to ur nightmares figuratively depending upon your good or bad balance in your karma account
Yet it is not clear in its belief itself as it primarily seems to misleadingly contradict a principle that is often misled as barbaric, merciless and perfectionistic. This idea is what we refer to in the end of this section of this blog.
The best way to often solve these complex, vague and long unanswered questions is by looking at the fallacies which surround the idea first as most would know the very basic concepts but it’s the minute intricacies that derail ones logic and clarity.
The three regions of callous fallacies that needs attention at this age and day is karma's effect on
- The present POLITICO-SOCIO standpoint
- The ECONOMIC AFTER EFFECTS
- Our BASIS OF LIVING AND COEXISTENCE
The interesting point though is not the three in its stag existence, but in its relation as to the core idea all the three are entwined with.
THE STRONG WILL EAT , THE WEAK ARE THEIR MEAT
(the famous SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST notion in the movie CLOUD ATLAS's ) on which we shall dive and postulate further. Until then let this rudimentary section dwell and instill your thoughts further.
