Why we can’t prevent all suffering! (Karma 101)

“Bro I did exactly as that astrologer asked me to & offered money at the temple everyday but she still rejected my proposal. This religion is a scam!”

So you think you can cheat karma?

That’s not how it works & here’s the tea.

While the loop of Sanchita, Prarabdha & Agami show us how karma is distributed across your many lives, even this karma has three states or degrees.

First, Dridha Karma is fixed, firm & unalterable - this stems from actions with immense intensity, emotional attachment or deep conscious attempt. The root is deep so the reaction or manifestation of such karma in your life is unavoidable.

Like an arrow that’s shot & can’t be stopped, no human effort, foresight or remedy can prevent Dridha Karma.

Second, Adridha Karma is flexible or unfixed - it stems from actions done casually without strong attachment or by accident - so it can be altered, delayed & neutralised by being smarter or prepared and/or meditating on a deity for protection.

Third, where most of our Karma lies, is Dhridha-Adhrida, a combo of the two previous states - these are actions of moderate intensity so the result is destined to occur but its trajectory or intensity can be modified with intense effort or Tapasya, willpower & basic remedies.

It’s like steering a ship away from a big iceberg to a small one - maybe you’ll get bruised but you’ll get away.

For e.g., when someone tells you to be humble during your Sade Sati, it is because ego can cause your downfall, so keeping

Neither astrology nor any other field can stop the cycle of karma - so stop trying to bribe the Navgrahas by offering them ladoos & money - if it was that simple, criminals could walk up with bags of cash & wash away with the karmic footprints of their crimes.

Any sadhana or spiritual practice you do should not be to erase or reverse karma because that’s impossible, but to gather the strength to handle the effects of your karma, basically reduce the harshness so that you can bear the fruits with minimum damage.

And any prescribed Vedic Upayas are meant to generate enough positive Agami karma to help you gain momentum & counteract the negative opposing frequency.

The only scam here is fake astrologers trying to get you to spend money out of fear, anxiety, desire & greed.

So don’t worry, what or who is meant for you will find you eventually.
