“As you sow, so you reap”, this is the basic concept of
karma that has always been taught to us all. Your karma decides your fate. One
question I get to hear many a times, why is it then that evil people are so
successful now a days than the good ones? Why do good people have to struggle
so much in life?
Karma is still working the same as it was when these
concepts were written in our scriptures. It’s the way we see the same that has
changed.
I’ll take the example of Ram and Ravan from Ramayana. When
you read Ramayana who do you find more successful Ram or Ravan? Ravan, he had a
overflowing treasury, he had won over all the gods and was the king of all
three worlds, everyone feared him. Yet he was evil, corrupt and deceitful. Rama,
the humble king, whose knowledge knew no bounds. But he had to spend time in
forest to become the king, his wife Sita got kidnapped, he had to fight to get
her and again got separated from her. His life was that of a struggle.
