There are five causes for the accomplishment of all action. The place of action (body), the performer (soul), the various senses, the many different kinds of endeavor, and ultimately the Supersoul. Whatever right of wrong action a human performs by body, mind or speech is caused by these five factors. Three factors which motivate action are knowledge, the object of knowledge, and the knower; the senses, the work and the doer are the three constituents of action. God does not create activities, nor does he induce people to act, nor does he create the fruits of action. All these are enacted by the modes of material nature. It is you, who develop your desire for some object, it is solely depend on you what kind of desire you develop; good or bad. According to your desire, you develop your knowledge, and according to your knowledge, you indulge in action. The life runs on “law of karma”, the cause and effect; more sophistically, we can say the law of action and reaction. For any reaction, our action is responsible. It never end with a single action and reaction, it is like the ripple in the ocean, one ripple is the reaction of previous ripple, and action for the subsequent ripples.
While contemplating the object of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises. From anger complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one stop thinking about the right or wrong action, and start complaining everyone for his debackle or his condition. Why complaining here? We choose our desire and action, then why complain anyone for the reaction we get out of that? The selection of our desire and hence action is the cause, and the output we get is the effect, it may be good or bad. The mistake, we do to control the result, the effect, the output; and when it does not take place, we get frustrated and start groaning, moaning and complaining. Complaining to whom and why? We have only control over our action and not the result thereof. And we are the solely responsible for our action.
We would have heard that we can get the desired result. No… we cannot get the desired result, which is not in our hand. Yes… we can perform our desired action which can increase the possibilities to get the desired result. What we are today is the result of our yesterday`s action, and today`s action is determinant of tomorrow`s result. Our present time is not for complain, rather it is for the enjoyment of the fruit of our past action, and pay attention on present action for the future fruit. God never assume anyone`s sinful or pious activities. We, however, are bewildered because of the ignorance which covers the real knowledge. Take the responsibility of your life and stop complaining... Rather analyze your action and rectify it for the betterment. The wise never complain, they embrace, they accept, and analyze the cause. The ignorant always keep complaining and chide the effect.
