This is a follow-up post to Karma. Thinking over and reading quite a bit has made me move over from Karma to good karma.Yeah, ok !! So what about it ??
It is a lot easier to define bad karma as compared to good karma. Cheating/copying in an examination is a bad karma (or action), and I don’t think many would disagree. And so is illegally downloading movies. The definition of a good karma can sometimes lead to a counter-argument of sorts. Imagine if someday you saved the life of a rabbit from being shot dead by a hunter. Now that is good karma, because a man can survive on vegetables (or so the vegans may argue, since man is an omnivore). But imagine if you had saved the same rabbit from a tiger !! Now would that be good karma or bad? Depends on how you look at it , right ? Saving a life was good karma, but also bad karma in this situation. Snatching someone’s meal is bad karma. Now is it not an irony that what you thought of to be a good karma could also have been a bad karma.
All right, all right !! That’s a lot of karma’s in one paragraph, what do you intend to say ?
To make a long story short; its perfectly alright if you don’t help a person, but don’t do a karma that will bring misery to the other person. Now I really don’t know whether to save the life of a rabbit from a tiger !!
what you wrote about karma now is correct.i do not know whether you took the interpretation from Anand,book or yourself.I f these are your own,then something unbelievable!Karma becomes Bad when you do it with a wrong conscience.Killing of a rabbit for all sense is creuel ans a bad Karama.when an animal does it for food like lion in your case,it an act of instinct and no conscience is involved.It is an act of balance set forth by creator.Hope it is clear!!
