Confession
Box
In
Kalyuga one is tempted to perform lots of wrong deeds or bad karmas, either knowingly or
unknowingly. All these ill-deeds show results and reflect in our
present life-time and
in our future life-times. It is these deeds which also determine our destiny or fate in
the future life-times.
Do
you sometimes wonder why your friend was born with a silver
spoon, blessed with so much more than you and has everything one can desire in life.
Or another person is born with so little and has to struggle for
even basics like food and shelter ? All this is a result of one's 'karmas' in
past
life-times.
What
is your 'karma'
By
Good
'karma' one means the Right 'karma'. This certainly does not mean
one has to live the life of a saint. Not at all. It just means doing
the
right thing.
In
every given circumstance, there is only one thing that is right as
per Nature. One should use one's consciousness to find out what that
right 'karma' is and do that.
This includes being true to the self. The most
essential 'karma' is to know yourself, what lies deep inside you,
so that you are not able to fool yourself, or be dishonest with
yourself. One
has to learn to face facts and the truth, howsoever ugly it may be.
This helps one to do 'pashchataap' or penance, which is the only way
to neutralize ill-deeds or karmas which are wrong as per Nature. If
you are truly sorry for the wrong you may have done, intentionally
or unintentionally, you should confess to yourself and to God
Almighty, and ask for His forgiveness.
If
you are earnest, honest and humble, He can forgive the greatest sin,
and free you from it's ill-effects.
