Universal Laws

As Google's Mission: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" guides  all the activities of all the employees of Google., directly or in-directly. Similarly, in all actions and thinking of a Sanaatani, these universal laws [Siddhants] are always there, knowingly or un-knowingly. 

The six universal laws are inter-woven, for example (a) Karm-Karmfal principle extends the time dimension of the Karmfal materialization beyond a life span in terms of Rebirth; (b) Omni-present / Omni-Sceint God  [Brahm] can be practiced by a human in terms of absolute morality; (c) Cyclical Time and Rebirth; (d) Free Will and Karmfal are co-related. Inter-relatedness of these principles necessitates evolution of social structures, customs & traditions by which a common person, without the knowledge of scriptures, can follow these principles in their lives. 

Details about rebirth can be reviewed under Rebirth topic. Here we will discuss the need for rebirth just for karmfal.

Many a times, a person experiences gain/ loss - succcess/ failure etc. without commensurate effort [karm] and we call these events as co-incidence/ luck/ fate. In Sanaatan scriptures these are result of Prarabdha [result of Sanchit karm or karm performed in last life]. 

Imagine a person doing all good things in life but not getting proportional success and then meets an accident and dies. Or a person doing all bad things dies of an accident. What happens to the karm done by him/ her? As per universal "karm-karmfal" law, it just can't vanish/ evaporate in thin air. Hence the person has to take birth again to get the karmfal. It goes beyond one life to next life, it can materialize after any number of lifes.

Examples of Absolute morality will be discussed under its own heading. If universal law is that Brahm [Adi Shakti, Universal Conciousness/ OM] is present everywhere, then whatever and wherever we do anything, it is being watched by HIM. HE resides in-me and hence everything is known to HIM, including our thoughts. Therefore, Sanaatan philosopy recommends piousness in our thoughts as well..

As per Sanaatan philosophy, time has no beginning and no end and it repeats with some twist. We see this on a smaller scale in terms of day-night, seasons in an year. However in terms of details, each day is different, each time summer is different from other years. Similarly, a human life has to repeat and each life would be different from other lives.   

Humans have promise of Free-Will by the Creator and unlike people, Creator doesn't backout from its promise. However, there is a catch, you have free will to act anyway you want but be prepared for the consequences. Thus it is expected that Karm-Karmfal principle will guide people's behavior. Remember, karmfal can come in this life or any future life.
