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:

Sattva (Purity) – Leads to good actions
Rajas (Passion) – Leads to material desires
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.

A Forgotten Bank Account, a Train Sprint, and Spicy Ghughra

So, I did a thing. I went back to Surendranagar. Yeah, that Surendranagar. The one I lived in for two years, in a hostel, for school. It’s been over a decade since then, which is a truly disgusting realization because, excuse me, where is time going? Last time I was there? Two years ago. Mission: Close my two ancient, long-forgotten bank accounts. Why did I have them? Oh, because back in my student days, they made us open accounts to receive scholarship money. I closed one that day, but the second one? The bank was like, “Yeah, come back in two days.” And I was like, “Haha, no.” Because making a special trip from Ahmedabad just to fill out paperwork? Not happening. But then, fast forward to yesterday. I needed a break from the office, and my brain went, You know what sounds like a fantastic getaway? Wrapping up unfinished financial bureaucracy. Also, having an unused bank account floating around makes me nervous. Like, what if some guy at the bank is out there using my non-e...

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...
