Why do honest individuals seem to have such bad luck?

An approach to life's most urgent challenges that is both scientific and Vedic!

Every time, this science about the truth of karma—the cycle of good and bad reactions—astonishes us. Every action we take has a corresponding reaction that occurs either immediately or in the future.     

This science can be explained with the help of an example. When a farmer harvests a field, he or she finds that some of the grains are of good quality while others are not. When the farmer gets low-quality grains, he puts them in the grain silo, where they settle in the pit's bottom. The farmer returns good grade grains to the grain silo the next season if there are any.

When the farmer opens the bottom lid, however, he finds that he is receiving the poor-quality grains from the previous season, followed by the good-quality grains from this season. This is due to the fact that the lower-quality grains from the previous season have accumulated towards the bottom of the pit, where they will emerge first, followed by the higher-quality grains.

Similarly, we can see that in this world, we experience happiness and misery, which may be described by karma principles. There are rules that regulate how this cosmic manifestation operates, just as there are rules that govern how a state or country operates. We haven't witnessed anyone's deeds in an eternity, so claiming that a nice person is having bad emotions for no apparent reason, or vice versa, is unjust. We must understand that we are eternal beings with a soul that reincarnates as a result of our activities in this mortal world.

Re-incarnation, Out-of-body experiences, near-death experiences, and past-life recollections have been accepted as actual truths by science, and many people around the world have experienced and believe in these phenomena.

Karma has three meanings: activity that creates a reaction that helps us develop in the future, reaction to that material activity, and acts that follow the scriptures. The Bible is seen as a legal document that provides direction for living our lives, or as a life guideline. The manual of life, i.e. the Scriptures, advises us on how to set up and use the device, just as a television manual instructs us on how to set up and use the device. Why should we put our faith in the Bible? It's possible that it's only a mental construct with no scientific basis. We can see, however, that Scriptures provide evidence for many things—for example, the science of Embryology was explained thousands of years ago in Vedic texts, the predictions of various incarnations such as Lord Buddha and other rulers such as Emperor Chandragupta are explicitly given in the scriptures, Ayurveda and the purity of Cow dung, and many other concepts that Science has recently discovered were mentioned in the scriptures thousands of years ago.

As a result, we must seek a trustworthy source in order to receive real knowledge. For example, if someone wants to be a Doctor or a Lawyer, he chooses an acceptable institution of Law or Medicine, acquires knowledge from authorised books and recognised teachers, sits for the exam, gains some practical experience, and is finally accredited as a Professional. Similarly, if we wish to learn about the Absolute Truth, which cannot be defined or conceived by our existing limited senses, we must look for legitimate sources or lines of disciplic succession who can pass on the full knowledge.

As a result, the sensible question of where we might have this true comprehension of the soul arises.

The Bhagavad-Gita is the most well-known scripture on self-realization and how to live a perfect life. Great leaders, philosophers, scientists, university professors, theologians, and others use this old Vedic literature to overcome their ignorance-based difficulties.

The soul passes into a new body at death, as mentioned in Chapter 2, Verse 13, when a person matures from boyhood to youth to old age, and a sober person is not confounded by this shift. A gross body made up of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether, as well as a subtle body made up of Mind, Intelligence, and False Ego, are described in the Bhagavad-gita. Above these two lies the soul, which is impenetrable and unbreakable to these forces. It is everlasting, unchanging, and through the symptom of consciousness, it supports the entire material body. The growth of divine traits, which are the most critical necessities of our contemporary world scenario, is one of the benefits of having this vast information. Pleasure, satisfaction, happiness, peace, and love are qualities that emerge in a person with these divine properties and spiritual inclinations. This leads to global brotherhood, which can only be realised if we acknowledge and accept the fact that underlying every skin colour, race, and religion is a soul that is unique and linked to God's one holy source. Knowledge of the Soul also helps with keeping a positive outlook on life and dealing with worries, grief, fear, sadness, distress, and negative thoughts. Because divine knowledge may be utilised to cut the ropes of ignorance, this naturally solves the problem of becoming imprisoned in the cycle of acts and reactions.

As a result, in order to better our existence, we should make every effort to delve further into this transcendental science of life's secrets.
