00:00The concept of karma, we are, maybe not all of us are that familiar with karma here in
00:07Europe and in Germany, so maybe the idea of birth and reincarnation and so on, this never
00:14ending cycle, can you explain a little bit further what it means?
00:19What you will say, what is karma?
00:22What you will say?
00:23You are eating, you are doing job, you are doing business, you are driving car, is karma?
00:30In the morning I wake up doing some workship, then I will go to job, I eat breakfast, so
00:40all this is karma?
00:44Somebody giving donation is karma?
00:48Saying somebody is doing some mischief with another person or cheating with another person
00:53is karma?
00:55So really whatever we are observing with five senses is not karma, it is a result of karma,
01:04discharge karma.
01:06So there are two, one is karma, seed of karma and fruit of karma, causes karma and effect
01:14karma.
01:16So whatever we are observing is a result of karma, so karma very subtlest form.
01:25So whatever happens, suppose somebody is giving donation, 5000 euro, people will say, oh he
01:32is doing merit karma, very good karma, but inside somebody asks, you are giving so much
01:41donation, yeah my friend, due to his pressure I have to give, otherwise I won't give any
01:46money.
01:48So intention inside is a karma, he is giving outer action is a discharge karma, a past
01:56life.
01:58So whatever doing is not karma, but inside I am Marx and I am doer is karma.
02:08And even if I am doing good things, it charges karma and will have an effect in my, in the
02:14next life.
02:15But if you are doing this good karma, good things and inside you are willing, I am doing
02:21good things and I should do these good things, or sometimes this person giving 5000 euro
02:28and says, my friend has pressurized me, that's why I have to give this money, otherwise I
02:34won't give any money.
02:36So inside his intention, I don't want to give, but due to his pressure I have to give this
02:42money.
02:44So discharge karma is good, he is giving donation to temple, but inside he says, I don't want
02:51to give any money, but due to pressure I have to give this money.
02:56So intention is a charging of new karma.
