The Echo Effect: What You Give Comes Back

Whatever you give, you will get back the same in abundance – Varanasi Travel 

The verse "Avashyameva bhoktavyam kritam karma shubhaashubham" means whatever deeds we perform, whether good or bad, we have to certainly bear the brunt of the same.

Keeping the above verse in mind, we all can recall a very famous English phrase taught to us in our childhoods that what you sow, so you reap but still, whenever we humans face tough times in life, we always blame God for it.

This is because, in our childhoods, we were also loaded with the concept that whatever takes place on this earth is with the consent of God. It is imperative for all of us to understand the demarcation between the two beliefs which people from ages are holding. Let's take an example, when we leave for office, the decision regarding which dress to wear, of what color, which way to take to the office, whether to use car or public transport, etc. is decided by whom? We decide. Similarly, our every action is decided by us through the karmas, and hence the result will also be faced by us.

Why do we worship God?

Many people live in the belief that worshipping the God will change their destiny, but the fact is that we write our destinies by way of the karmas we perform. We worship God to give us strength and peace of mind to face all gruelling situations of life. 

The supreme power of God gives us an understanding of good and bad deeds to perform, but he never decides our karmas. If God had the powers to decide our destiny, just like any parent, he would never write poverty, sadness, death, separation, crime, etc. in any of his child's destiny; rather, he would fill our lives with happiness, prosperity, good health, great luck, etc.

The Demarcation Between Free Will and Divine Intervention

Many individuals confuse destiny with divine control, leaving them trapped in a cycle of passive blame. In reality, God acts as the supreme lighthouse—providing the illuminating spiritual guidance, moral compass, and internal energy necessary to navigate life's stormy waters—but never steers the ship for us. The choices we make at every intersection are completely ours. When we understand that our suffering or success is the cumulative result of our own historical choices rather than a pre-written divine script, we transition from passive observers into active authors of our own life story.

Human Karma 

The karmas performed by every human follow him till his death and even in his next life. This inescapable cycle is beautifully captured in the ancient scriptures:

यथा धेनुसहस्रेषु वत्सो विन्दति मातरम् ।
तथा पूर्वकृतं कर्म कर्तारमनुगच्छति ॥
(Yathā dhenusahasreṣu vatso vindati mātaram | Tathā pūrvakṛtaṃ karma kartāramanugacchati ||)

Just as a calf finds its mother among thousands of cows, past actions inevitably return to the doer, much like a thrown ball bouncing off a wall after varying intervals of time. Whether outcomes manifest in moments or across lifetimes, past deeds ultimately return to shape one's reality.

I have not done injustice to anyone till today then; why am I facing such an awful situation in my life? I know this would be the next question in your mind post reading the above paragraph.

The karmas performed by every human follows him till his death and even in his next life. Karmas are just like a ball; once thrown will hit the wall and come back to you. The travel time differs. Sometimes the ball comes back in a minute, sometimes hours, sometimes months, sometimes years, and sometimes it takes many lives (re-births). You might be a gem of a person in this life, but the outcomes of your past deeds in your last life will surely come back to you.

The Law of Compound Return: Breaking the Cycle of Sorrow

Because the energy we project into the world returns to us multiplied, continuing to harbor resentment, anger, or deceit only guarantees a future harvest of identical hardships. Breaking a streak of unfortunate events requires a conscious shift in our daily actions. If you throw out sorrow, it returns with compound interest; conversely, when you deliberately project unconditional kindness, professional integrity, and inner peace, that identical high-vibrational energy works its way back to your doorstep. You cannot change what you sowed yesterday, but you possess absolute authority over the seeds you plant today.

Don't blame God for your destiny; rather, do right karmas to change your destiny. This is the law of karma and an obscure fact of life for many people in the world.

Don't give sorrow because, as per karma, the same shall get back to you with compound interest. Hence start spreading happiness, pleasure, and joys instead.

Conclusion: The Circle of Giving

Life functions as a cosmic mirror reflecting our own projections. The law of karma serves as a neutral cause-and-effect guide rather than punishment. By taking ownership of our actions and choosing to plant seeds of happiness and peace for others, we empower ourselves to shape a better tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the meaning of the Sanskrit shloka "Avashyameva bhoktavyam"?

The verse means that every individual must inevitably face the consequences of their actions, whether those deeds are good (shubha) or bad (ashubha). The universe operates on a neutral law of cause and effect.

2. Does God decide our destiny or control our bad phases?

No, God does not write sadness, poverty, or misfortune into our destinies. We write our own destiny through our daily actions (karmas). God serves as a supreme power that provides internal strength and peace of mind to navigate the hardships we face.

3. Why do good people sometimes face awful situations in life?

Karmas act like a thrown ball that bounces back off a wall; however, the travel time varies. While some actions yield fast results, other past deeds carry over from previous cycles or lifetimes, manifesting as unexpected hardships today.

4. How does the "Law of Compound Return" apply to our actions?

When you project negative traits like sorrow, anger, or deceit, the universe echoes them back to you with interest. Conversely, when you systematically emit unconditional kindness, honesty, and joy, that same high-vibrational energy returns amplified.

5. What does the metaphor of the calf and thousands of cows mean?

Derived from ancient scriptures, it illustrates that just as a newborn calf will unerringly locate its own mother out of thousands of moving cattle, your past actions will accurately find their way back to you, the precise doer.

6. How can I start changing my destiny today?

While you cannot modify the karmic actions you sowed yesterday, you hold total authority over the seeds you plant right now. Transition from passive blame to mindful, positive choices in your daily life to shape a peaceful tomorrow.
