Real Raksha Bandhan
According to Law of Karma, all sufferings are due to wrong or sinful actions on
the part of man. The law classifies all sinful or negative actions under six broad categories.
The names or titles of these are: Sex-lust, anger, greed, attachment pride and laziness
or carelessness. If one does an action, tainted by anyone of these or any combination
of these, that action, sooner or later, invites punishment of the doer, and all sufferings
are a kind of punishment or retribution for one's evil-doings. Though presently it
may seem that the sufferer was innocent (and he or she may now be truly) yet the Law of
Karma, which is a moral version of the Law of Cause and Effect, says that the pain to the
sufferer must have been caused by some negative action by him in the past - the past
moment, the past life or even the past millennium.
Moreover, this very law says that anyone who causes pain to another (sufferer) is,
no doubt, a sinner. It cannot be said of him that he was an instrument only and that the
sufferer got pain as a punishment for his or her sin and, therefore, he is free from blame.
The reason for considering him a sinner is that when he inflicts physical, mental or
spiritual injury, harm or pain on anyone and he has hatred, ill will, anger sex-lust or any
not untainted by any bad motive or evil intention and is not in a soul-conscious, yogic or
saintly state.
Keeping the law of Karma, thus defined in view, it is only natural to arrive at the
corollary that one's good Karma is one's good security. Weapons men in power, money
and political and social influence cannot save a man from suffering-physical injury included.
Considering in this light, one's tie to goodness and virtue is the real tie that saves
him from sufferings. One's moral bond is the real bond to safety. One's Dharma or
Divya guna is one's real Raksha bandhan.
