Those who don’t believe in Karma Siddhanta (the theory of karma) today speak about the oneness of mankind. But how do they explain the vast and immeasurable differences among men – differences in abilities, conditions, attitudes and impulses? One is continually sick. Another is hale and hearty. One is always cheerful. Another is continuously miserable. People do not realise that these differences are the results of past karma (action). Karma is the cause of everything that happens. The fruits of one’s actions may not be evident immediately, but sooner or later, they are bound to appear. “I shall do this, I shall do that – Vain is this boast, Oh man! As you sow, so shall you reap. As the seed, so will the fruit be (Telugu Poem).” Hence, it is only by doing good deeds can one achieve desirable results. It is for this purpose that the Vedas have laid down in the Karma Kanda (section of Vedas that emphasises on actions performed) the good deeds by which beneficial results can be got. – Divine Discourse, Mar 17, 1983.
