Theory of good Karma

It seems we never have enough.  The misery of life is mainly because people can’t say “enough”. 

 

You can be worried about your life.  But at one point you have to say, “enough.  I don’t want to worry anymore.  Instead I want to start living.” 

 

Let life come as it may.  Life can’t be bad if you trust it. 

 

I’m talking about a very mystical and vague concept.  I have had “enough” of thinking that I did not deserve it. 

 

In hinduism we say that people are rich , famous in this life because of virtues they did in the past life.  Strategy, talent, righ connections, attitude etc of course bear little importance in such a theory.  Accordingly, the most virtuous person alive today would be Bill Gates, Brad Pitt, Sharukh Khan, Aggassi , etc. 

 

Now let us suppose this hindu theory is correct and these people rose to their present height due to good deeds such as charity, bravery in war, worship of gods, intense yogic practice etc in the past life.  Does it mean that I have not done all that? 

 

What if I believe that I must have done something great in my past life and that I would be rewarded for it in this life?  Why not? 

 

Modern psychology, if not the new age science, points to us that we can believe in anything and if the thought is strong enough, it will be as good as true.  Now what if I use this theory in conjunction with the hindu theory on after life reward.  Could I open doors to opportunities that will give me everything from fame and fortune to inner peace and enlightenment? 

 

I want to believe that.  Let’s see. 

 

In an experiment I tell people to recall something auspicious they did.  Then I ask them to answer questions, just walk or say hi.  They exhibit much more confidence and power and thus would be more attractive to people who could them opportunities. 

 

You should try it. 

 

For me , I going for the belief that in my past life, I did something great for humankind.  I feel that way.  If it is going to open doors of further success for me, then I will test this hypothesis.Â
