It is a wonder to observe that a human being is subject to so many
laws starting with Divine Laws, Karmic Laws, Universal Laws/Natural Laws,
Laws of the Land, Financial Laws, Medical Laws, this Law and that Law and
it goes on. Yet he thinks he is supreme in some way. Whatever we are at
present, we are the Resultant of so many forces that are acting on us.
Some are evolutionary, some are pulling against the evolution, perhaps they may
may be called anti-evolutionary. All his life human being struggles with all
these forces to get through or escape or transcend. Some succumb to these
forces; some sail through reasonably; and some make it successfully.
Of all these laws, as far as individual human being is concerned,
it is a more a struggle between the Karmic Law and the Divine pull if any.
Karmic Law seems to be inexorable. It appears it does not spare the greatest of
beings; even those who teach us how to go Beyond. It does not spare a just-born
child or to-be-born child for that matter; it does not spare the old or the
young; it does not spare educated or uneducated; it does not spare the sinner
or the saint.
In fact, this Karmic Law is something that defines our existence
on earth.
There is pleasure and pain and all those
dualities so often mentioned by all scriptures. Human being mistakenly goes in
search of pleasure forgetting that pain comes along with it. In search of
pleasure he undergoes all pains. It appears as if that the influence of Karmic
Law is so much on the individual that he becomes utterly helpless though he
pretends that everything is in his hands. It is only a pretension. We cannot
explain otherwise why Stephen Hawking is like that or Helen Keller is blind;
why a promising young man should die at such an early age falling from 2 feet?
; why a small child of 5 should suffer the death of its father and a mother
suffering from brain-cancer who is almost ready-to-die?; somebody wants to
become a an IAS, becomes a Clerk in the Government; somebody wants to become a
doctor and he ends up as a software engineer; someone is ignorant dumb but he
makes a fortune; etc etc. We see so many examples around us everyday. There
seems to be absolutely no logic at all the way our life goes on. Human being is
so helpless before the pull of the Karmic Law or Samskaras or in the modern parlance called the baggage that we brought
with us. Inspite of all this human being ultimately evolves in some way at the
end.
What is the solution? We need a solution that fixes this Karmic
Law and takes us forward. All these forces mentioned above can be broadly
categorized mainly into two major Forces viz., the Evolutionary and the
Anti-evolutionary. The human being is here ONLY to EVOLVE. So there are
evolutionary forces that are trying to pull him up and there are forces that
are against Evolution pulling him down. And the human being is in between.
Towards what is the human being is orienting determines the level of his
present evolution. The FIRST step is to be conscious of this reality. Once we
recognize this reality the human being needs to be consciously make efforts to
be ALWAYS oriented towards evolutionary forces through his thoughts, words,
actions and most importantly with his heart. Because Heart is where the
evolution happens. Take up any spiritual practise that makes it happen.
One should feel the experience on a daily basis to believe that this is
happening. Please think contemplate and meditate till you get a solution for
this.
However I found that Heartfulness Meditation is one such system I
have been trying since several years. You can also try it if you so wish.
