Doubt on karma and HIM
Question
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your constant support to aspirants.
You always say everything happens according to 'karma' and how one's future turns out is already decided.Isn't it just that one has tendencies based on his actions and thoughts(karma), but can overcome that? You always say everything happens according to His will. I understand when you say Him, it means 'karma'. But isn't it a way of accepting things conveniently?
Secondly, I'm planning to get into a marriage, fully platonic, for emotional support and companionship. But how do I get such a partner without making a minimum effort by searching and thinking everything happens according to 'His' will?
Answer
'HIM' refers to the Almighty. The world and its events are a play running on 'HIS' script. The efforts one may apply or not apply are also a part of this script. That said, it is the duty of each Jiva to strive to realize one's self. The purview however ends at effort. One does not have a right or control over the results, which are ultimately decided by 'HIM'.
Where has it been said that one should not put effort? Put your effort and watch silently, without attachment to the result. One is supposed to apply efforts in the required direction. Not doing so amounts to laziness which is not the way. One should however not question the results, which are governed by the higher power. That which ultimately transpires is 'HIS' will.
