What is Karma?
This is one of the basic concepts of Indian philosophy and religion, the natural law of justice, which can be explained with the saying "the one who around comes around". karma means "done". According to him, whatever happens to a man is determined by his formal relationship: good and sinful behavior affects the destiny of the individual, which leads to future suffering or happiness.
In Indian philosophy, karma is the result of the destiny of all previous incarnations of man. If so many sins have been committed in past lives, then suffering in order to cleanse the soul from their intensity in a new birth hurts you. For the first time, according to Indian belief, every creature appears with pure grace to learn intellect. But often, instead, they surrender to illusions and pleasures, which will lead to suffering, anxiety, and trials next time. Their purpose is to change a person's mind. This happens until the soul has gone through the right amount of suffering to realize the principles of a good being.
Karma often causes a person to repeat certain situations and forces him to go through the same ordeal so that he can learn from them. For example, a fugitive constantly gets into fights, even when at first glance he wants to be at peace. To get rid of it, he needs to change himself.
In Indian philosophy, the master of life is not the higher power, but the soul itself. A person shapes his destiny with the help of three dimensions: action thought and feelings. For example, if you think about the good, then the power of thought spreads all around, leading to good deeds and pleasant emotions. Evil thoughts not only make one feel negative but also lead to more karma and difficulties in the future.
What is the Concept of Destiny?
I belong to the Muslim religion, so, demonstrates the concept of destiny according to my religion. In eternity when there was nothing but Allah, the earth and the sky, the air, the water, the Throne and the Throne, nothing was created, but even then, Allah created the whole universe to be created. There was knowledge. So, from time immemorial he decided and decided that I would create the world and the whole universe and these events would take place in it. So, this determination was the first stage and manifestation of destiny.
Then came a time when water and the Throne were created, but the heavens and the earth were not created. It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah ibn' Amr that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said that Allah Almighty had decreed the destinies of all creatures fifty thousand years before the creation of the heavens and the earth (Muslim) In this regard, Hasrat Shah Waliullah said that the power of the Throne reflected the detailed destiny of all creatures and thus the Throne became the bearer of this destiny. This was the second stage and second appearance of destiny.
Then when the creation of every human being begins in the womb and when the time comes to put the soul in it, the angel appointed by Allah Almighty obtains knowledge from Allah Almighty and compiles a destiny about him, in which his Describing the period of life, sustenance and misery or happiness, this writing is the third degree and third manifestation of destiny.
Lack of knowledge in the minds of many people raises the question that whatever happens in the world, good or bad, if it is all by Allah's destiny, and Allah has ordained it, then all with the good. The responsibility for the evils will also fall on Allah Almighty. And that when everything is already destined by Allah and His destiny is unalterable, then the servants are compelled to do according to it, so they should not be punished.
If considered, it will be clear that such doubts arise from the wrong and erroneous notion of destiny. Whoever of us considers our deeds and actions, will undoubtedly realize the fact that whatever good or bad deeds we do in this world, we do with our own will and authority. When we think about doing everything, we will definitely feel that we have the power to do it if we want to and not to do it if we want to. They decide to do it and act according to that decision.
So, in this world, just as we do all our work with our will and authority, Allah Almighty knew them in the same way from eternity, and then Allah Almighty gave them this knowledge. He decreed the existence of this whole chain. However, Allah Almighty has not only destined our deeds, but the intention and authority with which we act have also come into destiny, as if destiny does not only mean that such and such person will do such and such good or bad deeds, but it is a matter of destiny that such and such a person will do so of his own free will, then this result will be produced by him, then he will get this reward or punishment.
That is, we have a sinful autonomy and self-determination in our actions, on the basis of which we decide whether to do something or not, is also in destiny, and the responsibility for our actions is on Him, and Man is bound by it, and that is the basis of punishment.
In any case, destiny has not invalidated and eliminated this self-determination and self-determination but has made it more stable and stable. For the same purposes for which we strive and the measures we take in this world, our destiny has also been associated with these same measures and efforts.
I believe in destiny. Basically, there are two types of destinies. One that is predefined by the god. The information about our provision and death is predefined by god. On the other hand, in the second type of destiny, God gives us authority to do good deeds or bad deeds. The second type of destiny is designed by us. We can do good deeds or bad deeds; it is totally upon us. We can live our lives according to our perceptions and values.
Thank You!
