[QUOTE="Sikh80, post: 68630, member: 5290"] [I]karma is fully explained in one simple line. ape bij ape hi khah. as you sow, so shall you reap. to blame god for your bad actions is a cop out. we must take responsibility for our actions, and we will suffer the consequences if we choose badly.[/I] Yes, Karma is fully explained.,If you consider it to be fully explained. No one is blaming any one .All that is intended to be stated is that it leaves much to be desired. [I]Aape beejeay aape he khah, [/I]is a generic format of the theory.It does not specify anything more than this.Probably, no need was felt and may be even now there is no need. I go back to the basic question: [COLOR=#0000ff]"The fact of the matter is that we have come here for he wanted.We were helpless when we took birth. WE live in pain and anguish till we live and ....we die, we are still help less. He is the architect of my destiny and He has produced me and made me that I am. WE act as per HIS will and wishes. Our each action is governed by the will Of super-consciousness. If one reads Gurbani; we shall be classified as ' the poor creature' who is not capable of doing anything. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]Even devotional worship to HIM is gifted by HIM.[/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]If we have forgotten HIM ,it is on account of Maya /illusion/ sense organs.Where is the fault; that Bhagat Fareed ji is to speak like this. [/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]I never wanted to come here.He made me come here and then why should I bow to him at all.Because of food i eat or the so called beautiful things that I see and much more...but I never want ....why should the creator be unhappy with me...I think the line should be applicable to Fareed ji and not to me...."[/COLOR] Where is the fault Of the creature? It is very well stated that all we come here to remember HIM and meditate upon HIM and be a good human being and try to be Jeevan-Mukt, then we shall be happy. But it has been made difficult by the things like Illusion,five senses,ego, lack Of understanding, Karmas,pre-ordained destiny and that every thing is,more or less, dependent upon HIM and grace.
