The result of condemnation

*How does karma work? Let us know the secret of the results of unknown karma*

*Know the answer to this question through a story.*

A king was feeding the needy in the courtyard of his palace. The king's cook was cooking food in the open courtyard. At the same time, an eagle flew over the king's palace carrying a live snake in its claws. Then the snake trapped in its claws, in self-defense, spat poison from its hood to escape from the eagle.

Then a few drops of poison from the snake's mouth fell into the food that the cook was cooking for the needy. No one came to know about this. As a result, those who had come to eat died as soon as they ate the poisonous food.

Now when the king came to know about the death of all the dead, he felt very sad due to the unknown murder. In such a situation, it became difficult for the magistrate i.e. Yamraj to decide who will get the punishment for this sin?

(1) The king, who did not know that the food has become poisonous.

(2) The cook, who did not know that the food has become poisonous while cooking it.

(3) The eagle, which flew over the king carrying a poisonous snake.

(4) The snake which released poison in self-defense.

For a long time, this matter remained under consideration with Yamraj without any decision. Then after some time, some people came to that kingdom to meet the king and they asked a woman for the way to the palace.

That woman told them the way to the palace, but along with telling them the way, she also told them that "Look brother, please keep in mind, that king kills people like you by poisoning their food. As soon as that woman said these words, Yamraj decided that the sin of the death of those dead people will go to this woman's account and she will have to bear the consequences of that sin.

Yamraj's messengers asked - Prabhu, why so? When that woman had no role in the murder of those dead people. Then Yamraj said - Look brother, when a person commits a sin, he gets great pleasure, but by killing those dead people, neither the king got pleasure, nor that cook got pleasure, nor that snake got pleasure, nor that eagle got pleasure. But by narrating that sinful act in a bad way, that woman definitely got pleasure.

That is why the fruit of that unintentional sin of the king will now go to this woman's account. Just under this incident Till date, whenever a person narrates the sins of someone else with a bad intention (evil), then a part of that person's sins is also added to the account of the person doing evil. Often we think in life that we have not committed any such sin in life, yet why have we faced so much suffering in life?

*These sufferings do not come from anywhere else, but from the sins of people due to their evil deeds, which keep getting transferred to our account as soon as we do evil.*
