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.

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...

When Speaking Up Feels Too Big

I’ve been sitting with something for a few days now, unsure whether to even put it into words. It’s one of those situations where you start questioning your place — your role on the team, whether your thoughts carry any weight — especially when they go against a decision that’s already in motion. A few days ago, I saw a new marketing campaign at work. It ties our product to a recent military operation — one that’s still fresh, still sensitive. The idea is no longer just an idea; the deal is done, the digital posters are ready, and I’ve been asked to send them out through our official WhatsApp channel. My gut reaction? Should we really be doing this? It felt like we were trying to ride the emotional wave of something serious — and not in a thoughtful or respectful way. More like capitalizing on emotion than honoring it. But here’s the thing: I’m not in marketing. I’m a web developer. I wasn’t part of the brainstorming, and my role is just to support the rollout. Technically, it’s n...
