Karmas are terms that we use,Nothing such a sort exists.Every thing is a way it is ,and it has been decided. I disagree with what Shirpal has mentioned. It borders on fatalism. The purpose of creation is not because the creator wants to direct a prearranged movie. There is no joy in that for that which is said to Bliss itself. The purpose of creation is for the absolute, para Brahman to experience or know Himself Since there is none other than Himself, Maha purusha sacrificed himself into manifold and entered the relative plane or Maya. ( as explained in the vedas).It is only through the relative world that the Atman can know itself. The Atman, with association of prakriti and the gunas forgets it's real nature and associates with the samsara. And within, this delusion, the embodied at times feels powerless and forgets that He is the creator of his own destiny. ! Events occur not because a Being deemed it to be so. The creator has created a "macro program" that allows inputs (action) to be automatically transalted into various outputs (results). And the inputs(reaction) to the output or event will itself modifies subsequent outcomes. So ultimately Life presents us opportunities to define who we are and that implicitly means that Life is constantly evolving because of our actions and reaction on a personal level and on a macro level as citizens of a country or a resident of the world. Additoanly this macro program or fate is multi dimensional and works at different levels. At the macro level, there is the prarabhada Karma or accumulated Karma, something akin to a balance sheet and there are subsets of that Karma , like Anarbhada Karma, which is like recent cash flow. Jyotish remedies , prayer and positive self affirmation can go a long way to improve or minimize the causative effects of Anarbhada Karma but changing the balance sheet of prarabhada Karma is requires tremendous effort. But since we do not know our Prarabhada Karma, the only thing we can do is react in the "best" way to every event as Krishna has outlined in the Gita, namely Bhakti, Karma, Yoga and Jyana.

We should look at things with detachment maybe like watching a movie (where emotions rise and fall but dont shake ur ethos .. well at lesat in most cases) .. at the same time action cannot justify itself by mere supposition that nothing is in our hands !! I dont to "what happens has to happen" unless its a vipareet karma ... in all other cases we have our own say in what has to happen I guess ... Again I feel this is a difference between reality and percieved reality ... all that happens around is reality and surely not a movie .. however how we percieve it is the movie we to !! I believe god simply creates the situations that we muse undergo to learn reality from the point of view of our reality ... he however in most cases leaves the outcome to our own actions !! --- rohiniranjan <rrgb wrote: > First we would have to have an absolute definition > for sin! > Sometimes what shows up as a sin and crime in a > narrow one lifetime > view looks differently when the full picture can be > viewed.
