Query:
Indulging in Good Karma - Nishkama Karma without waiting for Fruits of Karma performed...
Is it O.K?
Vijay Kumar:
The field of pure spirituality states... we have to
perform our karma irrespective of what others say or do! This is what nishkama karma theory of Bhagavad Gita
is all about! Offering fruits of karma performed to God Almighty all the time is the crux of life. This not
only keeps us happy... it also makes us progress on path of pure
spirituality!
Every human being cannot indulge in nishkama karma! Those who are able to indulge in nishkama
karma are truly spiritual people! If we have not received love in present life... all owes its existence to the
presence of negative karma performed by us in present or previous manifestations! To undo the negative balance of
previous manifestations... we must indulge in positive karma all the time.
As doctrine of karma is governing in cosmos... we cannot do without it!
To get out of clutches of negative karma... we have to indulge in positive karma all the time... no matter
what! Even if we do not receive love from others... we have to give love to others unconcerned with what
others do to us! This is how we improve our position in the cosmic system!
You keep happy all the time because you do not indulge in negative thinking! Maintaining good
feeling for others is not that easy... most human beings failed on this parameter of life! Still, trying to help
others does not mean it is improving our lot!
If we meaningfully loan a person and that amount is used by the person for nefarious
activities... then we become a party to the negative indulgences of the incumbent! In the present scientific
world... trying to help others for the sake of it is okay but to think by our doing good to others... we shall be
repaid in the same coin... it is not so!
The doctrine of karma does not work that way! Mahavira... the 24 Tirthankara of Jainism
rightly said, do not preach until you become a Mahavira... a Jina... an enlightened one! But how many people world
over follow this truthful principle of life... perhaps not one! Every single preacher giving discourses on TV is
preaching half baked theories of religion and spirituality!
None in the present Kali Yuga has reached stage of enlightenment. Acharya Rajneesh (née
Osho)... Paramhansa Yogananda (the author of... an autobiography by a Yogi)... Sri Aurobindo and even Swami
Vivekananda did not gain enlightenment in their lifetime! But look at their followers... none believes that their
spiritual master did not gain enlightenment!
In the present materialistic world... it is wealth and fame that rules the roost! We must
always try to help our true friends... relations in need but never with the feeling of a return back! Your
writing... but not getting the loan back to me only indicates that you nurtured a feeling all the time that perhaps
some day the loan may be returned to you! Otherwise... you would not be writing!
The path of spirituality is always one-sided. We must always live life like a true karma
Yogi... just as King Janaka (father of Sita in Ramayana) and JRD Tata lived! Both these spiritual stalwarts were
karma yogis par excellence. They always indulged in karma... Nishkama karma way... never attaching self to fruits
of karma performed!
JRD Tata right from inception believed in the fact that human beings are but a trustee to
take care of all things that always belonged to God Almighty! In his lifetime not for once JRD Tata thought that
Tata empire belonged to him or he was the owner of Tata empire. JRD Tata all his life lived as a true trustee...
taking care of belongings of God Almighty in the best possible manner!
I have myself followed path of JRD Tata... King Janaka! Never have I
attached myself to fruits of karma performed! Diligently performing my duties... finally one day I realized
God in 1993 at 37 years of age! This is my last birth. I have reached 8.4 millionth manifestation. No further
to go on spiritual path... I shall but attain salvation (moksha) the moment I leave my mortal
frame!
Repeatedly go through my essays related to karma and Prarabdha karma! Also read everything
related to karma yoga... karma Yogi and JRD Tata! You shall for your self realize one day that journey of life
truly belonged to God Almighty... our soul atman... the spirit within and never the human form!
Whole of my life I have never tipped a beggar ever! Nor I pay donations to anyone! For
indulgence in positive karma such things are not necessitated! Most NGOs in present times indulged in nefarious
activities! People are after wealth and fame! In the circumstances... if we can maintain our positive attitude of
life is enough... what more could we have asked of God!

Full text of query: I know all the substance and
elements are the product of pure thought process and with the help of universe, all the elements are
made. I always have good feeling for others and always have helping hand for others without wishing
anything from him.
I have read so much Near death experience & many other books , everybody says that we are
having physical body in the Universe. In this life, I have done very good karma -like not hurting anyone, helping
others, giving loans but not getting the loan back to me. What I mean whatever, I can help others in relations,
friends, colleagues I did that. I also do not allow bad ideas flow in my mind. I am very stable. Please tell
me know am I going on right track.
