Suppose a person from India goes to America for the first time and rents a
car over there. He then parks his rented car on the wrong side of the road.
He will be charged a fine because parking laws are different in both
countries. He cannot simply say 'I didn't know, I am ignorant'. It should
have been his responsibility, if driving, to find out the laws of the new
country but he didn't take enough care.
In ignorance, we have done many things against the universal laws of
creation - especially the Law of Karma. *We did not have the complete
knowledge of what are good/bad karmas, what are right/wrong karmas; what
different types of effects different karmas would have on me, others and
nature.* But we cannot just say 'I didn't know'. It was our responsibility
to know. If we look at the state of the world now, there may be a few
sparks of light or spiritual enlightenment but, generally, there is a great
amount of darkness. That gives us an indication of the sorts of karmas the
vast majority of us have been performing, due to ignorance, to have
produced the situations or circumstances in the world.
*The complete knowledge of the karmic process, which focuses primarily on
the Law of Cause and Effect (explained yesterday), which we learn when we
are introduced to spirituality, helps us:*
* reduce the burden of the past
* remove any type of suffering or sorrow in our present life
* change our future as well as that of the world, to make it better and
more positive
* experience a positive return from our spiritual efforts
* understand all the why's, how's, what's and when's which surround our life
