How to manage Karma? How to control anger? || Acharya Prashant (2019)

Question: Acharya Ji, what is karma (action)? What is karmafal (fruits of action)? How to be free of fruits of actions?

Acharya Prashant Ji: What is this thing called ‘Karma’?

Questioner: Sins.

Doing the wrong things knowingly or unknowingly.

Acharya Prashant Ji: Don’t be the same person who did all those things.

If you remain the same person who did all those things, then your efforts towards erasing those things would just be a reinforcement, a reiteration of the very same things in another form.

Please understand.

I was someone who was very violent in the past, and caused a lot of hurt to people through my violent behaviour. And now I remain the same. Who am I? The violent one. But now I want to erase my ‘bad karma’ as our friend says. But who do I still remain? The violent one. And what would any act of this violent one comprise of? Violence. So even when I am trying to erase my so-called sins of the past, I would be indulging in further violence.

Let’s look at his central characteristics. One, someone who is well versed in the knowledge of his time. Buddha had deep scriptural knowledge. He was born in a Hindu Kshatriya family, he was a prince and ever since his childhood he was quite talented. So, one thing about him is that he was quite well-read. Second thing is, he was deeply interested in knowing the depths of life. He did not want to remain merely at the superficial levels, so he would observe a lot, he would think a lot. https://acharyaprashant.org/en/articles/todays-buddha-1_4d1b6bf

Nothing is preordained. Every moment you have the liberty to make a fresh choice. The principle of karma offers you great freedom; the principle of karma simply does not sit well with any kind of fatalistic argument.

Live like a king || Neem Candies

What you are is what you get. If you are continuously getting rubbish from the world, you know who you are. If you are constantly being mistreated in this life, then you know who you are.

The Saints have lived like kings, even though the world has often prosecuted them.…
