The Theory Of Karma
|| THE THEORY OF KARMA || When Bhagwan Shri Krishna returned home after the battle of Mahabharata, his wife Mata Rukmani confronted him “How could you be party to the killing of Guru Drona and Bheeshma, who were such righteous people and had a lifetime of righteousness behind them.” Initially Bhagwan Krishna avoided her questions but when she did not relent, he replied “No doubt they had a lifetime of righteousness behind them but they both had committed one single sin that destroyed all their lifetime of righteousness” Rukmani asked “And what was that sin?” Bhagwan Krishna replied “They were both present in the court when a lady (Draupadi) was being disrobed and being elders they had the authority to stop it but they did not. This single crime is enough to destroy all righteousness of this world” Rukmani asked “But what about Karna? He was known for his charity. No one went empty handed from his doorstep. Why did you have him killed?” B
