Gita reflection Ch 4 verses 21 & 22

16th April 2024


  • The concept of karma is unique to Hinduism. Other Asian religions have also adopted this belief in the rebirth of the soul. 
  • Karma is categorized into three types: Sanchita, which refers to the karma accumulated over many lives lived by the soul in different bodies; Prarabdha, which refers to the karma currently active that sustains the present body; and Aagaami, which refers to the karma accumulated in the present life that will have results either in this life or future births.
  • Those who are not striving for liberation will go through endless births and deaths due to the accumulated karma of the past and present. However, one who has realized the false nature of the ego can bring an end to all karmas. 
  • He may continue to live until the death of the present body, facing all situations and experiences caused by Prarabdha with a smile, seeking nothing from the world, and yet continuing to act in the world without accumulating any further karmas. 
  • This state of being is known as Jeevanmukti, where a person is completely free and endlessly happy while living.
