Karma and False Ego

[Bhava dasa]

 

 

prakrteh kriyamanani

gunaih karmani sarvasah

ahankara-vimudhatma

kartaham iti manyate

 

 

"The spirit soul bewildered by the influence of false ego thinks himself the doer of activities that are in actuality carried out by the three modes of material nature." [bg 3.27]

 

...So the question arises, "If I am not the 'doer,' why do I get the karma?"

[Pankaja_Dasa]

We are not this body.

Because of the sinful desire you had that caused material nature to carry out such reactions.

You are not the doer, but you are the desirer.

Consult Lord Krishna's Bhagavad-gita, he will explain.

 

Because it was your desire, your body get's the reaction.

 

YOU don't get the karma. Your material body and mind does.
