Theory of Karma - Kabir ke dohe!
Kartha tha so kyun kiya, ab kar
kyun pachtaye
Boya ped babool ka, aam kahan se
aaye…
करता था सो क्यों किया, अब कर क्यों पछताए
बोया पेड़ बबूल का, आम कहाँ से आये।
Why did you do what you did, and
what is the point of feeling bad now?
Having planted seeds of Acacia,
how can you expect it to bear mangoes?
Meaning:
A person should be cautious in
his actions. When doing karma (actions), we are reckless. Many times, people
say “I want to do it” or “I am doing it because I like doing it” or “No need to
tell me, I KNOW it”. Having acted so, how can one feel bad at the time of
bearing the fruits of our actions?
We should plant seeds of trees,
the fruits of which we desire to eat. Meaning, if we want to eat mangoes, we should
plant mango seeds. But, when a person seeds Acacia, he can’t expect mangoes from
that plant/tree.
If you want to receive good, do
good.
One can’t expect good and
pleasing things to happen to us in our lives if we keep doing wrong deeds in
our life!

Question time:
Do you have any experience that proves this dohe?

Although I have seen good people also not get their due, it is best to just do what is right. (By good people I mean people who have been righteous and done good deeds all their life). People might still condemn you, but you know you were right, you followed the path of dharma, you soul rejoices - and thats the only reward you need.
