THE LAW OF KARMA - MUSING ABOUT THE SAME

The Law of Karma  - Is it   easy to understand , but difficult to practice.?

‘Spandan’ =A small  movement = Karma.

For  the first  creative spandan(Vibration), ‘ichha’ (desire) must be there in the supreme being.

So ‘ichha’ is the first ‘karma’ ?

Before ‘iccha’ there is absolute stillness. (nischalatha). Of the supreme being.

This is the state that  ‘jiva’ is longing for.

Our seers all the time  were wishing us to reach this absolute stillness, the ultimate stage, where there is no karma. They  denoted this stage as pure consciousness or pure knowledge and the process as moksha.

And what are we upto!? We are entangling ourselves with more and more movements !!!! Modern machines are one such entanglement. Machines dictate our movement. Eg. A employee working on an assembly line, superbly demonstrated by Charlie Chaplin in one of his movies.- Machines can be avoided .

 But can we avoid the machinery responsible for the production and distribution of resources for maintaining our body.? (Can't  we name this machinery as SOCIETY ?). Can work be apportioned to maintain this 'machinery', so that there is 'controlled' and 'conscious' movement of members constituting society. Isn't this the logic of 'chatur-varnyam' or 'varnasharama-dharma' ????

Or take the 'ultimate' machine,  ie. our own body. This machine is essential for the feeling of 'seperateness' of the 'jiva'  and is indispensible in embodied form. This machine and 'social machinery' is intimately connected. Thus movement = action= work= karma has to be regulated for harmony between individual body and society.

Such regulated movements, will help one progress  to a state where there is 'no movement' at all.Absolute stillness accompanied by Bliss !!! Sat-chit-ananda.

Therefore for individual happiness and to save our planet, the current practice of engaing in work has to be shelved. Is not this modern work ethic Protestant as hinted by Max Weber ?
