Righteousness - The karma angle

Most spiritual humans remain concerned about their energies and their needs regarding these energies. They have questions about being right or being wrong in certain situations that life presents in front of them. Sometimes, they may feel that it is correct to behave in a specific manner in order to be righteous in the eyes of God. At other times, they may feel that acting differently in the same situation would be the right path.

Thus, it's a common confusion about keeping certain energies within oneself and getting rid of those energies by controlling or channelizing them. For instance, one may feel that it's wrong to be angry if they're spiritual or it's right to be worshipping idols if they're spiritual. However, let me tell you that both these opinions and many such opinions may be incorrect. Your energies are given to you for a purpose and it's okay to behave in a certain way if you carry a belief that you're acting right. God only looks at your intention behind an action (karma) and decides the fruit for you.

An example of the above is a human who is getting angry at an act of crime and intending to stop such wrongful behavior. This person's anger does not make them less spiritual. Aggression is the Mars-governed energy that can be used to hurt someone or fight a protective battle. It is common sense to understand that the first choice of action is wrong while the second choice is right, experiencing the same energy. All other energies humans gain from different planets can be channelized similarly, in a positive or negative way, as per the judgement of an individual. This judgement is known as karma or action of that individual. Karma is not rocket science to comprehend. You only require to delve deeper within your soul and ask your intuition whether you're using a specific type of energy in the right or wrong manner. Now, let's see what's right and what's wrong.

You take an action and notice its consequence. It tells you if you've done the right thing or not. For example, you put your hand in fire and you got burnt. So, your action was obviously wrong and it gave you the karma. However, life does not present you with such easy situations, unless you are a child who is still understanding the karma of putting your hand in fire! These lessons are for children who are still at the basic stage of life. Know that every human being, right after taking birth, starts dealing with their karma.

As you keep growing and learning lessons, you are presented with harder lessons. However, anyone at any stage can face a harder lesson, depending on the decision of the divine forces. It's not under human control to take decisions on anyone's karma. That's also the reason why you must not interfere with another soul's karma and stick to learning your own lessons and improving your own life being spiritual. You also do not need to question your karma and should simply pay your debt for the past actions. It will prevent you from generating further bad karma and collecting some more of good karma.

To add to the ways of judgement about right and wrong actions, let me share that you can easily observe other individuals who have acted in certain ways and received certain results. If you're unable to decide if something you're doing is right or wrong, such observations can easily guide you. Your intuition will anyways guide you at all times. Listen to that inner voice and follow it to stay on the right path. Don't doubt your intuition. If it's stopping you from doing something, stop right there. If it's pushing you to doing something, take action. If your action makes your soul feel happier and positive, it's probably the right thing you've done.

Keep learning from your actions and their results, as well as from others' actions and their results. Constant learning and gain of wisdom lead to a better judgement. A better judgement is righteousness in itself. Like other humans, you're not perfect to judge everything correctly. Be accepting of this fact and keep forgiving yourself for anything wrong you may have done and may want to make right. Avoid repeating your mistakes, and seek reliable spiritual teachers if you need guidance on your actions. Offer a deeper thought to your inner self, and connect to your divine guides for improving your karma. The best thing is to read more and more...educate yourself using authentic sources of knowledge and not through other inexperienced people.

In my next post, I'll discuss about the different types of energies you should or should not carry within yourself. Until then, I wish you more light and peace!
