Q : I want to know when do we get the result of our Sanchit Karma? Is it in this life or in the next life? If a person is doing wrong in this life but still he is leading a good life, is it because of his past life good karmas?
Chandani Tandon
Answer Well, the theory of karma is very integrated and very complicated. So much is happening in our present moments and every action gives us one part of result in the present moment and other half part half gets stored into the bank of our Karma, which we called Sanchit Karma.
So what ever is happening now has a direct link with your past and also whatever you are doing today is having a direct effect, which you can see yourself. See, this is something about which, most of the people are very confused. They say that they see bad people living very good life.
Well what do you call a good life? Big house, big car, big bank balance, good things and expensive things, is that good life for you? Then please redefine your definition. Luxurious things don't make you happy and it just gives you a chance to cover up your pain and miseries, your restlessness and your stress. A poor person doesn't have this cover of luxury around him thus it seems that poor person is in a bad shape and rich person is in a good shape.
But all the psychological diseases and the problems are being experienced by these so called rich class and not by the poor class. Poor man might not have bread to eat but what to say about rich person who has huge table loaded with wonderful foods and yet he has no appetite or he has diabetes or he is so busy that he can't even eat a single morsel.
So from distance it might seem that the rich man with huge buffet of food is very happy man but when you will dig deep, your realization would be pretty different from your assumption.
