MOKSHA, THE FINAL EMANCIPATION
The final aspect of karma is moksha, liberation, to be free from everything. Many are not aware of this aspect. Moksha is the highest goal of karma, because it is through our karma that we achieve liberation. As previously stated, most people are preoccupied with artha and k**a, which only accumulates karma. It is interesting to note that all karma has two distinct sides, good and bad. Suppose we want to plant a tree. Is planting a tree good karma or bad karma? It is good karma. However, while digging a hole to plant the tree, a lot of grass and weeds have to be removed. So for the grass and weeds, it is not good; it is bad. Also while digging up the dirt, many insects are killed, many earthworms, are cut. Thus, for insects and the earthworms, are our actions good or bad? Consequently, although it is good karma to plant tree, negative karma is associated with it. Remember, we live in a world of duality; therefore, every karma we perform as a positive and negative aspect.
~ Paramahamsa Prajnanananda
Excerpt from Law of Karma
Over the past few decades, the word “karma” quietly made its way into the mainstream vernacular of modern Western culture. Once considered an Eastern concept, the karmic law is now generally accepted by both religious and non-religious masses as a universal and systematic law that automatically delivers the consequences of good or bad actions. Although the concept of karma is no longer foreign in the West, its intricate workings remain elusive.
Are there different kinds of karma? How do our actions create karma? How is karma carried to the next life? Can we be free from the bo***ge of karma? The fascinating subject of karma opens the door to an infinite number of unanswered questions. But take heart! In this rare and essential handbook, The Law of Karma, the Kriya Yoga master, Paramahamsa Prajnanananda, skillfully explains the often misunderstood inner workings of this dynamic law. He gives us the tools we need to break free from the karmic prison.
