Logos 475
The human being is, in truth, subject to two kinds of diseases. The first is of a material nature, and the second, the main one, is of a spiritual nature.
Although Krishna, God, the Supreme Person is the pure beauty that pervades All and the cause of all causes, He is not responsible for the misfortunes and sufferings that we endure.
The Lord teaches: It is the thoughts, the memories of the being at the moment of leaving the body, which determine his future condition.
The Lord adds: The action should be offered as a sacrifice to the Supreme Being, lest it binds the doer to the material world. Therefore, perform your duty in order to please Him, and forever you will be freed from the chains of matter.
Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you sacrifice and lavish, whatever austerity you practice, let it be to offer it to Me. Thus, you will free yourself from the consequences of your acts, all of them, virtuous or guilty. By this principle of renunciation, you will be liberated and come to Me.
The truth is that all thoughts, words and actions produce effects, which lead to good and/or bad consequences, which in turn will cause consequences in the form of good or suffering, felt already at the end of the present life, but certainly throughout the next life.
The more wickedness we show, the more hatred, racism, indifference and coldness of heart we express towards those who are different from us in thought, word and deed, the more the mass of our evil deeds increases due to the darkening of our mind, and the more we will be made to suffer in our present life, but more importantly, in our future life.
This is why people sometimes say, “Why this repetition of misfortune, or what have I done to God to suffer so much?”
In reality, we ourselves are responsible for the illnesses, misfortunes and sufferings we endure.
It is our desires, our desires, our self-interested acts for our own benefit, which are the cause of the good or bad consequences, of what we wish for ourselves alone.
Karma, the law of action-reaction, the law of cause and effect, or the law of nature, according to which every material action, good or bad, necessarily leads to consequences, which have the effect of chaining its author ever more closely to material existence and to the cycle of deaths and rebirths.
