Articles: My Thoughts | Why do good people suffer
- Mrs. manjari
| |
We are told, all men are created equal. No one can be so blind or foolish as to imagine that there is actual equality of ability or environment or conditions of birth for all. Why, in the same family, all children do not have equality of ability or intelligence. There is a family of which the eldest son is an IAS officer and the younger is unable to pass the SSC examination. We have a proverb in Sindhi which says: 'The mother gives birth to children, each brings with himself his destiny.' In other words, each one brings his karma with himself. There is a family of which youngest son is a multi millionaire, while the eldest is so poor that he and his children are virtually starving, literally begging for food.
Two questions arise:
1. Is this inequality the result of karma?
2. And if so, is it fair?
The answer to both, - as the great teachers of India have taught us, - is in the affirmative. You are the architect of your own destiny.
You are the builder of your own life. Every thought, emotion, wish, action creates karma: and we have been creating karma for thousands, perhaps millions of years. If our thoughts, emotions and actions are benevolent, so called good karma results. If they are malevolent, evil or difficult karma is created. The good or evil we generate attaches its effect to us and remains in our life current until we have satisfied it by balancing it out.
