Once in the material world, we are bound by karma "good and bad", based on our impious and pious actions.


THE WISE NEVER BLAME OTHERS FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM IN THE MATERIAL CREATION

By Śrīla Bhakti Vijñāna Bhāratī Gosvāmī Mahārāja

"I firmly believe that whatever has transpired, is only an outcome of my previous karmas "pious and impious" activities in current and past lifetimes".

No one else is responsible or to be blamed for this. We all get "exactly" what we deserve, no more or no less.

Whenever the great wise Vedic personalities experienced any opposition, condemnation, false accusation, and so on, they simply saw it as the fruit of their own karma, rather than blaming anyone as a culprit.

The twelve mahājanas (great, wise personalities) exhibited the ideal of focusing their mind (chitta) on the end-goal / subject at hand.

Similarly, being the follower of their lotus divine or holy feet, I consider the dealings that were meted out to me solely as the fruit of my previous karma.

There is no other person to be held as the culprit or responsible for this." (End of quote)

Once in the material world, we are bound by karma good and bad based on our impious and pious actions.

Everything that comes to us (the jiva soul) who is contained first in a "subtle material body", and  "rewarded or punished" with a particular "gross material body", based on our actions, all stems from our past actions, "good and bad", we "chose" to participate in.

Everything we get in this material world we MUST pay for eventually, and every action we do, we are either rewarded or punished for.

As the saying goes -

"What goes around comes around"

Srila Bhaktivenode Thakur prayed to the Lord that he could always remain in presents of devotees while the past enormous bank balance build up of past pious and impious actions from billions of lives gradually unfolds on him.
