karma

After talking to Lord Shiva an excited, Ganesha took me to visit Lord Vishnu. We entered the clouds through a flying boat, Soon we reached our destination. Lord Vishnu was sitting on the giant snake with multiple heads and around him were various Gods . He was conducting a sermon karma , both lord Ganesha and i sat down and Started listening.

"Karma refers to action, and one way to understand it is by observing how positive, negative, and neutral actions of all kinds accumulate at the levels of mind, body, and soul. 

Time is an integral aspect of karma, as what has happened in the past affects what is happening now, and what is happening now will affect what happens in the future.

The meaning of Karma is in the intention. The intention behind the action is what matters. Those who are motivated only by the desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they are constantly anxious about the results of what they do."

"Whatever happened was good, what's happening it's going well, whatever will happen, will also be good. You need not have any regards from the past. You do not worry about the future. Live in the present."

"You have the right to work only but never to its fruits."

"For those who wish to climb the mountain of spiritual awareness, the path is selfless work. For those who have attained the summit of union with the Lord, the path is stillness, peace, and selfless work.

Let the motive be in the deed and not in the event. Be not one whose motive for action is the hope of reward.

No one should abandon duties because he sees defects in them. Every action, every activity, is surrounded by defects as a fire is surrounded by smoke."

"A person who is satisfied with the gain comes naturally by his will, who is free from all conflicts and does not envy anyone, who remains stable in success and failure, is not bound by karma."

"If you do karma with selfless action, then you will be able to free yourself from the bondage of desires."

"There is no harm, and no resultant defect while performing karma, but even a little effort of this selfless action protects us from the great danger."

"Seek refuge in desireless action with equanimity of mind. maintain equanimity in both success and failure!

All activities are carried out by the three modes of material nature. But in ignorance, the soul, deluded by false identification with the body, thinks of itself as the doer."

"The man of equanimity born of wisdom releases himself both from good and bad even in this life. Therefore strive for nishkama karma with an equal mind."

"Man does not match the actionless state of Brahman by mere non-performance of work, nor does he attain perfection by renunciation only."

"Those who understand the divine nature of my birth and activities, upon leaving the body, do not have to take birth again, but come to my eternal abode."

After listening to the sermon of Lord Vishnu, every God bowed and touched the feet of God Vishnu and vanished to Their respective domains. After all gods left only Ganesha and me were left . Lord Vishnu gestured us to come and sit beside him."So you are the student of Marduk , Not many know that when Marduk was a human, he traveled the world . He came to us One day, He became my student He learnt how the world was made, how different pantheons arose How each pantheon has a different story and how we're together bound by karma . I gave him a gift call the karmic sight, By use of which he can determine the karmic values Of a person, I will provide the same to you as you are a student it is only right to do so.
