Please refer to my earlier blog on the Law of Karma at - https://www.mayoan.com/post/22-the-law-of-karma
In this blog I am sincerely attempting to portray the field of Karma. i.e the modus operandi of how karma is created and how it is resolved. Though I have considered the field in the context of a human (as the most evolved and capable species), generally this field of interactions will apply to the animal/plant kingdoms as well with appropriate contextual considerations.
Please note the below set of interactions that can happen in a local or group context or in a focussed context with cascading or ripple effects:
Karmic load will be there for all humans
Karmic load will be there for all group identities (explicit or implicit identities)
Karmic interactions will happen between individuals and groups producing composite cause(s) and/or trigger(s).
Sometimes it is possible to see the cause and trigger as one congruous unit of execution and trigger and effect as another congruous unit of execution.
Sometimes it is possible that the intended effect is big enough to introduce delays in between cause and trigger and then in between the trigger and the effect.
Karmic load transfer (partial or full) may happen from groups to individuals and from individual (as a person of influence) to group
o Example of how a karmic load transfer may happen to an individual from the group:
- By any influence from the likes of a protagonist (say god accepting the outcome of sins on of others. Accepting is the transferring/trigger effect and suffering is the execution/expending part. This is mentioned in the Charama Shloka in Bhagavat Gita too)
- By punishment meted out to the individuals by the justice system(s) ( judgement is the transferring/trigger effect and punishment is the execution/expending part)
o Example of how a karmic load transfer may happen to a group from the individual:
-Individual goading a nation into going to war (war declaration is the transferring/trigger effect and actual acts of war is the execution/expending part)
-Individual creating a new ideology (publishing is the transferring/trigger effect and receiving wide spread attention is the execution/expending part)
Karmic load transfer (partial or full) may happen between individuals. This usually happens when the relationship is close and pure.
o Examples: between mother/father and children, between grandparents and grandchildren, between ancestors and progeny, between husband and wife, between guru and shishya, between God and devotee etc.,
Consider the Karmic field in the context of a field consisting of individuals and groups. It is impossible to precisely pinpoint the exact cause of an effect or the trigger event to the individuals or the groups because of this complexity. The great divine energy resolves both the load and trigger in a ADHRST manner.
When karma is expended by 1 or more group(s) or the individuals, the following happens:
o 1 or more punishment(s) may happen to the group(s) or to the individual(s).
o 1 or more reward(s) may happen to the group(s) or to the individual(s)
o 1 or more contentment(s) may result in the individuals’ mind or the groups’ psyche.
o 1 or more distresses/unhappiness states may result in the individuals’ mind or the groups’ psyche.
o 1 or more action(s) may be taken with new karma being generated by the individuals and/or groups.
o 1 or more thought(s) may be generated with new karma being generated by the individuals and/or groups.
o 1 or more action(s) may be taken with NO new karma being generated by the individuals and/or groups.
o 1 or more thought(s) may be generated with NO new karma being generated by the individuals and/or groups.
o A cause or a karma will not be the outcome of a karma being expended but the outcome can serve as 1 or more trigger(s) leading to a chain of events.
Thus, in life, individuals/groups should aim to create effects that are positive - i.e. effect(s) that produce no -ve karma or effect(s) that produce positivities.
Hari Om!
