Laws of karma



Law of Karma

  One man's  basket  is  filled with flowers
Another man's filled with thorns
There should be some reason behind
 Such contrasting state of fates,
There ought to be some karmic norm...

    One child is born in a prodigious   palace
Another  one born in utter penury
almighty  created this entire mankind
Why then so stark disparity....
  
A rich person lies on a dunlop bed
But sleep is elusive to his eyes
a pavement dweller on the other hand enjoys Deep slumber,
Even under an open sky...

One survives several  dreadful diseases
yet leaves  long long life....
 while another at very young age succumbs to some sudden accident and  in no time dies...

Law of karma elucidates
The  losses and gains
Pleasure and pains
Sufferings and happiness
That we experience in our lives
Are attributed   to our past deeds....
,we can  have a good fruit only
If we had sown a good seed....

 Whatever actions or karma that we perform, do not just  go into  vain....
They generate consequences that sooner or later reflect back the  same....

We may forget our actions over time
But its effects do not stall to influence us...
They keep haunting till the last moment of ours lives and even follow many more subsequent births...

This is how law of karma works.....
