NAM KARMA (Obstruction to personality)

Someone has a fine body. •  Someone has an ugly body.
Someone is strong and healthy. • Someone is weak and thin.
This is due to Nam Karma.

Someone is black. • Someone is white.
Someone is yellow. • Someone is red.
Someone is fat. • Someone is bony.
Someone is tall. • Someone is short.
This is the work of Nam Karma.
When someone speaks in a sweet voice, we like it.
When someone speaks in a rough voice, we do not like it.

When someone comes to our house, we feel happy. When someone comes to our house,
we get annoyed. And this fun comes from Nam Karma.

Sometimes one gets a good status, respect and fame in society
But Sometimes one meets with ill-fame, dis-respect and insult in society
Sometimes one earns only abuses, • Sometimes one gets a fortune.
Sometimes one is chased by misfortune, wherever he goes.

Beauty and complexion. • Strength and Shape • Form and structure
All this is the work of Nam Karma.

Antraya Karma (Obstruction to happiness)

You have plenty of money, food and clothes to give others. There are many in need of these.
But you do not like to give anything to anybody, why?
It is on account of Antraya Karma.
Though you do your best to earn money, and though you try hard to get food, make efforts to get a house, you do not succeed in all these.
You should realise that the Antraya Karma is against you.

Though you have a lot of delicious things to eat,  you are not able to eat.
Though you have a lot of selected clothes to wear, you cannot wear them.
Though you have a very fine house to live in, you are not able to live in it.
Though you have an affectionate mother and a good grandma, you cannot live with them.
Do you know the reason for all these ?
It is the same Antraya Karma.
This Karma does not allow you to perform any penance or any service or to be engaged in devotion. This Antraya Karma makes you lazy and weak.

Mohaniya Karma (Concealment of Truth or Reality)

What is Mohaniya Karma ?

On account of the influence of this Karma,
Men cannot understand the supreme God.
They cannot follow the true Guru.
They cannot accept the true religion
They believe that
the true is false and the false is true,
the unreal is real and the real is unreal,

On account of the influence of this Karma.
Someone gets angry.
Someone becomes proud.
Someone deceives another.
Someone becomes greedy.

This Karma makes
Someone laugh.
Someone cry.
Gives someone pleasure.
Gives someone pain.
Sometimes frightens us,
Sometimes leads us on the wrong path.
Sometimes makes us fight
and
Sometimes makes us cheerful.

This Karma creates doubts about Religion and Guru, and faith in God.
Among all Karmas the Mohaniya Karma is the most dangerous and most difficult to overcome.
