Sins from this birth to next birth

Hi,

Is it true that the sins which we have accumulated in this birth will be carried forward to the next birth ?

Hi mrl,

Yes definitely.Both good and bad will be carried forward.That is Life .
If you want to know more about this read theory of karmas or other books which tells what is karma .

Thanks for ur reply.

But I'm not able to understand 1 thing.

Is it wise for God to punish in the next birth ?

Punishment should be given then and there right. So there will be more chances to change the character and the attitude.

Even if a person is good in his birth he is suffering out of problems.

Then what is the use of being good to everyone in his present life.

God is not cruel and does want to punish anyone.He is all pervasive and all knowing.He need not punish us.we punish ourselves with our thought, action etc etc.
You are given chance in your life to rectify your actions or karma . Karma is nothing but actions. Whatever we are doing now is also a karma and myself replying to your mail is also karma. It is (karma)can be both past and present and future in nature. Natures rule is it wants us to get aligned.

If you have done some harm to some one in the past life Egs you have cheated with money or you have made some debt and your life comes to an end how do you plan to clear it. May be in this life they are born as your close relatives like husband ,children etc etc where you show them immense love and give them everything.This can be one of the way to clear ones debts of past life.
Egs 2 If you have mentally or emotionally tortured some one in the past and in the past if he or she was a meek person nature gives that a person a chance to take the revenge or if that person has done some good deed and would want to forgive you, you can escape from mental torture .
We all fall in Maya and tell that we are in trouble and forget to create good deeds for ones own self and for others. So that you can line up good karma for yourself in future lives.
You can also eliminate bad karma to some extent in this life where you do meditation and other different kind of self cleansing process.
when you are facing problems generally people forget that there past actions has caused this reaction .
All the karma gives us a chance to correct the present actions and make a few good karmas in a day as your future bank balance.
We think twice and our ego tells what is the use of doing good deeds when I am not getting with good.
Nature is always impartial and always give right things at the right time.We have very good life to rectify past karma and create good future.
hope you are satisfied

Roopa,

Thanks for your detailed explanation about karma.

Really it's very nice and every1 should read this.

Dear mrl,

A very profound question and a wonderful and very detailed explanation given by Roopa.

I thought to add something of my understanding of this subject.

In the religious context, Sin describes an act that violates a moral rule. The Divine Entity decrees the moral code of conduct.


Karma literally means "deed or act" and states that life is governed by the universal principle of cause and effect or acti and reaction. Karma is not fate, because man acts of his own free will and is responsible for creating his destiny. "As we sow, so we shall reap". Good actions will produce good results, say the Vedas.

Karma is the totality of our actions and the reactions to these actions that occur at the same time in all our lives, both previous and present will determine our future.

There are three types of karma in Hinduism:

sanchita karma, the sum total of past karmas yet to be resolved

prarabdha karma, that portion of sanchita karma that is to be experienced in this life


kriyamana karma, the karma that humans are currently creating, which will bear fruit in future

The Brahma Sutras say that each soul is responsible for its' own fate. God is merely the one who dispenses and witnesses with regard to the merit and demerit of souls.


Bhakti yoga is generally considered the easiest path to liberation or Moksha in Kali Yuga.

Some information that i put together from my Guruji's discourses.

Hope I did not bore you!

Hi Padma,

Thanks for you awesome reply.

I don't know from where are u guys gaining so much knowledge.

where can we read about karma ? Do u have any e-book in easily understandable language ( English / Tamil) ?

Dear mrl,

I usually browse the net, do a google search. Books by realised persons like Swami Sivananda, Swami Chinmayananda and Dayanandaji... I also attend satsang with our group of Devi devotees, a closed knit circle, we discuss many spiritual matters...

LnBBHs,
Padma

Hi mrl,
Really i too used feel the same as you whenever i see ppl who are good but really face lots of troubles..
Wonderful explanation by roopa and padma.

But still if we have dedication and spirit on our goal though we face troubles,God will surely help us.

Hi All,

I understand that the Karma takes the sole responsibility in deciding about one's life.

So can I say that the person who is taking birth has committed a sin or crime in his previous birth ?

If so all the beings in the world has committed a sin in one or the other way.

Is it true ?
