What Is Karma & How Does It Work? | Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar - YouTube
Channel: Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
[13]
Karma literally means action
Action in its impression in the mind which
[37]
is latent will give rise to similar situations
So karma has three dimensions
[44]
One is the impression of action which you
have in your mind, in your consciousness
[51]
And then the action that you are doing in
the present
[54]
And the possible activity, possible action
that may befall you
[60]
Or which you would attract
Because you have similar impressions within
[65]
you
This is also called karma
[72]
We have this huge confusion in our mind about
life being all karma or there is a freewill
[78]
also in it
I tell you, life is a combination of freewill
[83]
and destiny.
[84]
It is karma and karma swathantra
Both are there with you
[89]
Like your height is determined, is your destiny
But your weight is your freewill
[97]
Like that, though you have not inherited the
huge wealth of the past
[103]
but nothing can stop you from dreaming about
it
[106]
and create it in the future
You have certain X amount of money with you
[116]
to start a business
Suppose you don t think about multiplying
[124]
your capital
and you just sit with it, what will happen?
[129]
Whatever you have earned that capital will
drain, finish
[133]
over a period of time
Like that, your karma is your capital
[138]
But your present action, the karma that you
do now
[143]
can make it grow, yes
and if there is a debt, the present karma
[149]
can nullify it
So if it is a negative karma, it can be nullified
[153]
And if it is a positive karma
You don t want to get rid of your positive
[157]
karma, do you?
[159]
Nobody wants to get rid of the impact of positive
karma
[162]
Your merits
That will grow
[165]
You can make it grow
Unfathomable are the ocean of karma
[175]
Because this entire creation is filled with
action
[179]
There is action everywhere
So there is reactions everywhere
[187]
And so just don t go and scratch your head
on this
[194]
See the past as destiny
Future as your freewill
[199]
And live happily in the present
Karma s can never be finished
[209]
Karmas continue
It is like asking when will the oceans have
[214]
no waves
Ocean will have waves
[218]
But you can rise above the wave
You can surf
[220]
You can rise above the wave
That is my being a witness to it
[226]
Not being reactive, but to be a witness to
your own actions
[231]
Your own tendencies
Your future is in your hands, Ofcourse
[241]
you can mould it
You can change it You can turn it
[245]
See, karma is not a fatalistic theory
Karma tells you about what you have
[253]
And what are your possibilities
It keeps open the possibilities in front of
[261]
you
That is what it is
[266]
The day we say I want nothing
I am happy, now and here
[271]
That shift has already happened
The liberation, freedom has already come to
[278]
you
Desires are our bondage
[280]
Contentment is our liberation
