The Principle of Karma

The Supreme Source means God. Many people believe this, and many do not. But we are not here to debate that. A question arose in my mind, and I tried to understand it. What I understood, I want to share with you today.

God’s energy operates through three modes—Sattva (goodness), Rajas (passion), and Tamas (ignorance). The soul within us is a part of God. So, do we perform good and bad deeds according to God’s will?

The answer is No!

Why? Because God has given humans free will. We have the freedom to choose our actions—whether good or bad. But whatever we do, we must face the consequences.

Sin cannot be erased by virtue, and virtue cannot erase sin.

The Three Modes and the Influence on Intellect

Every human being possesses three qualities:

  1. Sattva (Purity) – Leads to good actions
  2. Rajas (Passion) – Leads to material desires
  3. Tamas (Ignorance) – Leads to negative actions

These qualities influence our intellect, which is of two types:

  • Sumati (Good intellect) – Guides us toward righteous actions
  • Kumati (Bad intellect) – Leads us to wrongdoings

Thus, our choices determine our karma.

Karma and Its Consequences

Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita:

"Avashya mevam bhoktam subhashubham"

Meaning, one must experience the results of both good and bad karma.

Our body is temporary, just like clothing that changes over time. But our actions and their consequences stay with us.

Let’s pause here for now. We will discuss more in the future.

If I Could Be Stronger For Someone

Sometimes, I wake up and feel like I have nothing to chase. Not in a sad way, just in an I’m fine where I am way. Like, yeah, life isn’t perfect. Maybe my job isn’t what I want it to be, maybe my business isn’t growing like I hoped, maybe I don’t have that person I can be completely myself around. And instead of trying to change things, I just accept them. Because leaving, quitting, or even trying to start over feels like too much. But then I wonder—what if I had to be stronger for someone else? Take Tanjiro from Demon Slayer, for example. He didn’t just decide to become strong because he wanted to. He had to. He had someone to protect, someone whose life depended on him not giving up. And even when everything seemed impossible, when he could have just accepted that life was unfair, he kept going. Not for himself, but for Nezuko. I think about that a lot. How sometimes, we only push forward because someone else needs us to. How there are days when the thought of quitting my job, shutti...

It's Okay to Not Have a Huge Friend Circle

 The funny thing about labels, isn't it? We slap them on people as easily as we double-tap an Instagram post. "Friend." It rolls off the tongue, a casual descriptor for the person you exchange memes with or the colleague you grab lukewarm coffee with in the breakroom. But sometimes, I think we dilute the word, stretch it so thin it becomes almost meaningless. These aren't always the people who see the cracks in your carefully constructed facade and still choose to sit beside you in the quiet. The world outside the comforting chaos of school and college can feel… vast. And suddenly, the pool of potential "friends" shrinks while the pressure to network and connect in the corporate jungle swells. You find yourself nodding along to conversations that bore you, forcing smiles at jokes that don't land, all in the name of building these elusive "friendships." But what if those connections feel more like a performance? What if you're constantly edi...
