Karma Trade (कर्म व्यापार)

Renderings:

The karmas which give immediate result ae called Guru karma. This karma bears fruit in the same life it is performed. After this comes Marnappan karm. After death, how would the next life be, this karm tells. But of Guru karm is left then that becomes the deciding factor but they get exhausted then marnappan karm is the deciding factor. So the last thought at the time of death becomes the cause of next of birth. Hence in all the religions it is said that when a person is dying, people should do kirtan, jap, reading of scriptures etc. to make the Marnappan karm stronger. The dying person does not have that much strength to make them stronger. So it is the duty of the well meaning people around him/ her to strengthen the marnappan karm so that it can convert to janak karm. 

After this is Acharit karm. Good deeds should repeated in one's life. These karmas if performed regularly turn into Sanskar in the chit of the person and help him in his upward movement in evolution of the soul. 

Ignorance is the cause of pain and pleasures in the world and also cause of creation. Ignorance (अज्ञान) can also be understood as non-discrimination (अविवेक). Five different kinds of kleshas are the cause of every thing in the world, they are Ignorance (avidya/ अविद्या), Pride or Ego (asmita/ अस्मिता), Anger (Raag/ राग), Hatred (Dwesh/ द्वेश) and fear of death (Abhinivesh/ अभिनिवेश). Ignorance gives rise to ego, which leads to rising of anger and hatred in one's Chitt which ultimately leads to fear of leaving the body or death. 

From Karm arise ripening or maturation (Vipak/ विपाक), by which one should understand three things: 

1.Caste (जाति) & Birth (जन्म) : with the help of birth one achieves physical body with which one is able to perform work or karma.  

2.Life span (आयु): How much duration an atma will stay in the physical body to complete his  or her quota of karmas is called Life span. 

and 

3.Bhog (फल): the karma performed in the body received is the cause of his life span as well as it will decide what fruits the person will exprience in his life span.

Karma (कर्म) by which persons life and fruits are decided is called Prarabdh (प्रारब्ध). One indulges in karma only when one thinks that he is this body but if he experiences his self as extension of cosmic self then he can not perform karma and his sanskar will also not arise. From innumerable past lives, his karmas are being collected in his chitt, they are known as Sanchit karma (सञ्चित कर्म). From these sanchit karmas Prarabdh karma (प्रारब्ध कर्म) arise. What karma one performs during present time are all called Kriyaman karma. With the help of kriyaman karm (क्रियामान कर्म) at the point of leaving the body during death, prarabdh karma arises. Generally, prarabdh karma causes a particular birth but in some special cases it is the cause of many births. Fruitation of karma is under the control of kaal or time. Many sanskars lie in a dormant state in the realm of kaal because they have not found any supporting entity yet but this does not mean that their sanskar (संस्कार) is dead. 

Some time while doing a good karma, some bad karma also get performed. One would get fruit of both in his life. So their resultant fruit will be provided together. Thus we can say one will taste the fruit of both (good and bad karma performed) together and such kind of karmas are called Avapgaman karm (आवपगमन कर्म). If one has performed something bad and he has remorse in his mind for its performance, then the effect of that karma reduces. If the intensity of good or bad karma is very strong then receipt of fruit of it will also be immediate. Karmashaya (कर्माश्य) is the cause of birth while vasana () or desire is cause of raising of animalistic sanskar (पशुत्व संस्कार).   

At the end Karmashaya Sanskar arises (कर्माष्य संस्कार). These arise only in human atmas. From ignorance arises kleshas/ क्ले which lead to difficult tasks (klisht karma/ क्लिष्ट कर्म) and ignorance means not understanding difference of purush and prakriti. Karmas which arise with Vivek khyati state in back ground are called easy karmas (Aklisht Karmas).   

Whic karma will bear fruit to under stand this we must know another term called Javan, which menas intensity of flow. For this yogis have mentione 7 moments (kshan) called Javans. 

During first Javan Chitt is without any activity. Here desire or will is not perceived. Hence this kshan or moment is very weak in nature. Thus in this moment any karma cannot be practiced. But its sanskar is expereinced in the present life itself. But if due to some reason it does not get ripened then it gets destroyed. 

During 2nd Javan, will or desire becomes more appreciable or e can say self awareness arises. 

3rd and 4th Ksha or movements become more stronger. 

5th, 6th and 7th again become weak. Fruit of seventh kshan avtion is very weak so it does not fructify in this life but in the next birth only. If fruit does not get ripened it also gets weak. 

All middle ones remain till nirvan is experienced and never get destroyed.....Om!
