“ULTIMATELY, IT’S A GAME THAT WE CHOOSE TO PLAY”

Part-2
“AND A FAIR GAME AT THAT”

In part one I merely summarized that life is a game and one should carry on the honest, good and ethical KARMA and offer the same to Lord Krishna. Our duty is to perform KARMA that is destined for us, without worrying about the future, which is in the hands of The Lord Krishna.

This sounds simple but in reality we make our life highly complex by entering into far too many races in the game of life. Race to earn more money, race to have a social status, race to keep our family happy, race to marry the most suitable loved partner, race to acquire lot of power, fame and wealth. We want to achieve all ASAP. We are in a hurry. And the race is highly competitive. We are willing to easily sacrifice even morals and ethics. We stop trusting everybody and lose no opportunity of back stabbing.

Such feelings, situations and mindset, if not prevented from going out of control, would lead to anarchy. No society can sustain and progress unless there is some discipline in adhering to certain rules, dos and don’ts with standard sets of morals and ethics.

Wise people of earlier generation of the sapiens therefore created the wonderful concept of God and basically stated that good behavior will be rewarded and bad behavior will be punished by God. The idea was wonderfully marketed by the saints. They delivered lectures, created stories and poems, wrote numerous scholarly, exhaustive, innovative and still simple scriptures. This movement led to different versions in different parts of the world in which the same concept was marketed and as the time passed, they got to be known as different religions.

Unfortunately, it is a fact that the fear of God and faith in God gets shaken since the mad race to achieve the targets and attain worldly success lures even the best of us to enter this unhealthy competition.

For an individual it is not possible to exist without performing his KARMA and wise people try to stay out of the races and do a solo run because, they realize that life is a game and wining or loosing does not make any difference in the overall scheme of things in the universe. They enjoy the game to the fullest non the less because that is your KARMA.

What say you ?
