KARAMA

    The LAW OF KARMA  has been mentioned  and is main stay of Hindu  theology. And there are sometimes questions that one may not be able to answer all the questions that may arise after seeing things that happens to ordinary people. So this is the story related to it. 

   This lady who had a child that was not doing  well as he grew older . He was more than 3 years old  and still the mother had to feed him and had to use diaper  and he was completely dependent upon mother. The mother was frustrated .Near her town there was a SWAMI who was learned  and so  she decided to go to him. She told him the situation and asked him as to what might have I done  that I am suffering ? the Swami was calm and answered that 'you may have been mother in law  and the child must be daughter in law in last life . You must have aske the daughter in law to do things for you like making tea or doing dishes or laundry etc. So you are paying back " The lady was smart and asked Swami, 'That seems logical explanation ,but if my child was my daughter in law in last life  and she as daughter in law did everything for me , then why she is suffering in this life  and needs help for simple things  and has developmental problems ?"

    The Swami answered, 'Yes she did everything for you as daughter in law , but every time she was doing it she was thinking that I wish I would get it back from her whatever I have done for her. So with that kind of ACTION (KARMA) and DESIRE(VASANA) YOU HAVE COME TOGETHER. She is getting back as she desired . You stopped thinking about why  and why me  and just do your duties as mother  and see what happens."

    The actions that are done with attachment or desires will always have effects and they will always sow the seed  and that seed will always sprout . Only way to not have seed is to not have attachment.
