Role of "Karma" In the Path to Prosperity

-

Karma: (in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences.


 When Lord Krishna returned home after the battle of Mahabharata, his wife Rukumani confronted him. "How could you be part to the killing of Guru Drona and Bheeshma, who were such righteous people and had a lifetime of righteousness behind them."
Initially Lord Krishna avoided her questions but when she did not relent, he replied "No doubt they had a lifetime of righteousness behind them but they both had committed one single sin that destroyed all their lifetime of righteousness".
Rukumani asked "And what was the sin?"
Lord Krishna replied "They were both present in the court when a lady (Draupadi) was being disrobed and being elders they had the authority to stop it but they did not. This single crime is enough to destroy all righteousness of this world.
Rukumani asked "But what about Karna?". He was known for his charity. No one went empty handed from his doorstep. Why did you have killed him?
Lord Krishna said "No doubt Karna was known for his charity. He never said 'No' to anyone who asked him for anything.

But when Abhimanyu fell after successfully fighting an army of the greatest warriors and he lay dying, he asked water from Karna who stood near by. There was a puddle of clean water where Karna stood but, not wanting to annoy his friend Duryodhan, Karna did not give water to a dying man. In doing so his charity of a lifetime was destroyed. Later in battle, it was the same puddle of water in which the wheel of his chariot got stuck and he was killed.

Understand that your one act of injustice can destroy your whole life of honesty.

Once I heard from the voice of our former President Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam that,

"If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nations, when there is order in the nations, there will peace in the world.
