WHAT IS KARMA ?

Hare Krishna to all Devotees,

my question is what is karma ? i was listening to one lecture tht when u die ur gorss body dies and your subtle body which is made of mind,intelligence n false ego goes with soul n enters into new body ( any form of living entity) depending on ur karma in past life ?

so suppose if now in this human form of life we have taken birth so whtever intelligence we have got , we got according to past karma in past life ?? suppose one is very intelligent but very poor and can not study at all and can not give his fees to study properly? how is this intelligence justified??

and suppose one father is very rich but very religious and pious man, and can attain all comforts of life, but his son does all sinful activites. so whose karma is bad father or son ) according to past life and in this current human form of life ?

and suppose if somone having just bad phase in life, so much stress and depression and full of miseries, but he is very intelligent but could not get dream job or b successful person as compared to other people who are less intelligent ?? so how is this justified ?

so he should think that whtever happened in his whole life was all written by god in his destiny ?????/

so please answer my all above questions, and in detail about KARMA.HARE KRISHNA

Hare Krishna dear Devotees! Please accept my humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

yes, while living this life we are using previous karma and creating new karma with our actions and reactions. Karma which we are using is for example, our gross body - it is manifested karma. Our life span - it is predicted.

Amount of our intelligence - is predicted.

Amount of wealth- is predicted.

But how we will live up to some age we decide ourselves. Some crawl till hundred years of age some stay healthy even up to that and just leave body easily.

Material education is also to some extent predicted but one may try to change by the powers of austerity.

Austerity may change karma.

But these predictions do not play any role for spiritual things. Spiritual intelligence. Krishna says that He gives intelligence if one serves Him with devotion and love in order to be able to understand Him.

so suppose if now in this human form of life we have taken birth so whtever intelligence we have got , we got according to past karma in past life ?? suppose one is very intelligent but very poor and can not study at all and can not give his fees to study properly? how is this intelligence justified??

One may be intelligent and still educated but it does not mean to get some degree like PhD, MA...no he may be so intelligent that without those papers he can use his intelligence and make livelihood.

As like Mr. Job (Apple) as i heard he did not study. Or Bill Gates. Or in present days the owner of Facebook is a outsider from a school. So what You mean by intelligence? Only paper? When i studied exams were there and in order to pass those exams some used notes and copied, some just memorized many things for 1-2 days and then after exam forgot. But intelligent one is that who understands the subject and applies that in life.

for example, i wanted to study medicine but in order to enter to the university one should give too high bribe so that my desire did not fulfilled so i had to study other thing. It is destiny. Yes, true sometimes it happens that some kids take birth in poor families but have some talents. It means they became poor because they did not do charity in previous lives. Or else it is protection from becoming proud - intelligence + money = makes people proud and it may lead to degradation.

So solution is: one should try his best to find money for studies but if it is not happening so no need to over try. But accept things which come easier. And again, even without material institutions one can make some changes in world.

and suppose one father is very rich but very religious and pious man, and can attain all comforts of life, but his son does all sinful activites. so whose karma is bad father or son ) according to past life and in this current human form of life ?

Usually children are souls whom we did bad or good in previous lives. There are kids who destroy family and parents' lives but there are kids who on the contrary make closer parents' to each other and bring fame to the family. So both parents' and children's karma are connected. If child is brining suffering to parents it means in previous life parents made that soul to suffer. So now they exchanged the places.

For example, person may not give his debt and die. So that person who had to take the money from one who died in next life may take birth as a child of that person who took debt and did not return. In that way whole life soak money from parents.

So child is karma of parents. In the reality all people around us is our own karma. They are here in order to help us to wash our karma pious or impious. Bad people help to wash impious karma and good ones pious karma.

and suppose if somone having just bad phase in life, so much stress and depression and full of miseries, but he is very intelligent but could not get dream job or b successful person as compared to other people who are less intelligent ?? so how is this justified ?

intelligence without good qualities? What is the use of that intelligence?

People love service attitude, good qualities. No need of intelligence if there is no good qualities like humility, tolerance, respect to other...no need no use.

Depression means one desires everything good for oneself and that who does not care of others. So why people should honor him and give some job?

If person has good qualities he will get a nice job even if he is having comparatively lesser intelligence.

Hitler was intelligent so what he did? killed so many people. So what is the use?

so he should think that whtever happened in his whole life was all written by god in his destiny ?????/

God is not someone who creates our karma or destiny. He is just observer. He observes. And when living entity desires something He fulfills his desire. He gives freedom to a living entity.

But if one becomes a Devotee of Krishna - God then He takes full charge of one's life. That times karma stops.

Starts Krishna karma- the wish of Krishna.

So no need to waste time and be depended on karma but use this chance of having Krishna karma and become really happy. Otherwise it is very difficult to deal with this action and reaction.

Your servant,
