Karma performed by the false self (you) within the false experience (waking) is bound to be a falsehood.+

 

Karma (Action) will not dispel ignorance itself. Karma itself is based on ignorance Only Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana will destroy ignorance.

The karma theory is meant for those who are immersed in worldly life thinking of the individual life within the particle world as reality. In the path of truth, the karma theory becomes a great obstacle to realizing the truth.

Reincarnation is based on the karma theory. The karma theory is based on birth, life, and death. Birth, life, and death are reality only on the base of the false self. Thus whatever is based on the false self is bound to be a falsehood. Accepting karma theory is accepting falsehood as reality. 

Thus whatever is based on the birth identity will not yield any truth. If one accepts the karma theory then it is impossible to treat the world as an illusion. All the pundits’ explanation of karma theory carries no weight in the realm of truth from the ultimate standpoint.

When the Self is not the form but the Self is the  Soul, how karma will affect the unborn Soul, the  Self, which is ever nondual? 

That Karma which is done in a previous life and produces the present life is a religious theory. The ego  is not the Self, and the real Self is a birthless entity because it is ever formless and nondual. 

Karma theory has no value in the realm of truth because the Self has no birth. The one which is born lives and dies is the false entity within the false experience.

The Soul, the Self is free from karma. Karma is a reality only for those who think of the ‘I’ as the Self and waking as reality.

If one becomes free from the ignorance of the Soul, the real Self, there will be no varied individuals and no varied karmas; misery will thus disappear. He who kills man’s creation sees heaven of non-duality only; the others see only a hell of duality.

Karma theory is based on the waking entity. The waking entity is the false self within the false experience, whereas the self is birthless and deathless.

Karma performed by the false self (you) within the false experience (waking) is bound to be a falsehood. Thus, one has to realize the fact that, the dream entity is also the false self, within the false experience.

The dream is considered as falsehood when waking takes place. Similarly, the waking also becomes falsehood when wisdom dawns. Wisdom dawns when the waking entity realizes it itself is not the self in the midst of the waking experience.

Remember:~

When the Self is neither the body nor the ego, neither the waking entity nor the dream entity, then how the karma based on the false self within the false experience can yield fruits? Karma is a religious fable.

The karma theory is reality only for those who believe their present physical identity (ego or the waking entity) as real, and the world as reality.

When Sag Sankara says the world itself is an illusion, and Brahman is real, then what value the karma theory has when the world is an illusion, because man is part and parcel of the illusory world? Therefore, one has to view and judge the worldview from the standpoint of Brahman (Atman/true self) in order to overcome the duality, which he is experiencing as reality.

Individuality is a reality within the illusory world. Therefore, all the theories created within the illusion on the base of a false entity, within the false experience, have to be the part and parcel of the illusion.

Thus, it is necessary to realize the fact that Atman is the true self and all else is an illusion, to overcome the illusory concept of the cycle of birth, life, and death. Thus to understand and assimilate Sage Sankara’s Advaitic truth, the seeker has to do his own homework through deeper self-search, without mixing religion, scriptures, theories, the concept of god, and yoga.

Sage Sankara says in Aparoksh Anubhuti: ~88. When the whole universe, movable and immovable, is known to be Atman, and thus the existence of everything else is negated, where is then any room to say that the body is Atman?

89. O enlightened one, pass your time always contemplating on Atman while you are experiencing all the results of Prarabdha; for it ill becomes you to feel distressed.

90. The theory, one hears of from the scripture, that Prarabdha does not lose its hold upon one even after the origination of the knowledge of Atman, is now being refuted.

91. After the origination of the knowledge of Reality, Prarabdha verily ceases to exist, inasmuch as the body and the like become non-existent; just as a dream does not exist on waking.

92. That Karma which is done in a previous life is known as Prarabdha (which produces the present life). But such Karma cannot take the place of Prarabdha (for a man of knowledge), as he has no other birth (being free from ego).

93. Just as the body in a dream is superimposed (and therefore illusory), so is also this body. How could there be any birth of the superimposed (body), and in the absence of birth (of the body) where is the room for that (i.e., Prarabdha) at all?

94. The Vedanta texts declare ignorance to be verily the material (cause) of the phenomenal world just as the earth is of a jar. That (ignorance) being destroyed, where can the universe subsist?

95. Just as a person out of confusion perceives only the snake leaving aside the rope, so does an ignorant person see only the phenomenal world without knowing the reality?

96. The real nature of the rope being known, the appearance of the snake no longer persists; so the substratum being known, the phenomenal world disappears completely.

97. The body also being within the phenomenal world (and therefore unreal), how could Prarabdha exist? It is, therefore, for the understanding of the ignorant alone that the Shruti speaks of Prarabdha.

98. “And all the actions of a man perish when he realizes that (Atman) which is both the higher and the lower”. Here the clear use of the plural by the Shruti is to negate Prarabdha as well.

99. If the ignorant still arbitrarily maintain this, they will not only involve themselves in two absurdities but will also run the risk of forgoing the Vedantic conclusion. So one should accept those Shrutis alone from which proceeds true knowledge.

The above proves that karma is reality only on the base of the false self, where one thinks body and the universe as reality.

When one becomes aware of the fact that, the true Self is a formless soul, then karma becomes part and parcel of illusion.

My point is that, if one accepts the karma theory as reality, he will never be able to come out of ignorance. And ignorance makes him believe the cycle of birth, life, and death as a reality.

Thus, the freedom which one is seeking will remain a distant dream. For the one who accepts birth, life, and death as a reality it is impossible to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
