Karma

Karma is an action performed. It is neither bad nor good because all karmas are usually performed by the individual in good faith. Every individual thinks prior to action and justifies his intention to translate the thought into action.

It is only when the action performed gets fructified.
We realize whether the action performed was good or bad. Some actions performed get immediate reactions and some take a long time to fructify. If the reaction is immediate and bad in taste, the person think it a bad action and sits to ponder, over to know the reason of failure but when it takes a long time to fructify, the action performed goes out of memory. All such actions which fructify at a later dates do bring some immediate reactions which are usually favorable and the performer accepts the immediate results in good taste and forget it.
For example: we sow a seed for a mango tree. The seed shall germinate and appear in the form of a small seedling and shoot out to be a tree, which shall take a long time to yield the fruit. The gestation period of this is very long. When it fructifies and the fruits are not to your liking, you will say “god knows why it failed. I have not performed any wrong act; how it happened.” and we blame the destiny or take it as a result of bad karmas performed in previous life. We at that time do not dwell to look into our past and try to find our mistake that we implanted the seed unknowingly. If we had got the seed tested for its qualities, and its other requirements, we would have been successful. As i said all action performed by individuals are usually in good faith and good-faith actions are performed in emotional sway. The reason for this is that in every eventuality, the person is confronted with two or more choices to select at every stage of life and decision to select is motivated by desires that are heavily influenced by emotions. The decisions influenced by emotions are usually wrong but exceptions may be there, i do accept. All successful persons say “let not emotions overrun you, have a rational approach if you want to succeed.”
