Prostrations Revered Swamiji 🙏🙏
Karma is anadi, and would therefore have been ananta; fortunately ahankara is bhrama, allowing a way out.

Only the pure in heart can be so selfless. The starving little child gave his food to the guest when asked for it and died due to hunger! Blessed Life!

In one of the songs written by the great devotee Sri Annamacharya, he addresses the Lord Venkateswara, “You want to check and validate our minds and You apply Maya to our vision and also will show us all the materialistic pleasures. But If we understand that YOU are doing everything but making us feel the Doership due to Maya, then You will make sure that We are liberated, otherwise You will make sure that we enter into the bondage of karma.”. This is a song called “Sarvaantaraatmudavu......” by Annamacharya. So, probably the last kid in the story must have had the sense of doership that he is giving away his food and life to the guest although he was doing good karma. Hence bound by karma and had to be born again to free himself from the bondage of doership. That is why probably he was allowed to be born again which he made use of properly next time to be a Jeevan Muktha by losing the sense of doership. I understand here that a good karma when done without the sense of doership can liberate us and not the bad karma as the other kids got their corresponding next lives according to the beliefs that they were bound to, with the sense of doership, in the form of the results of their karma. So, if we need liberation, it is inevitable to get ourselves free from ALL the binding thoughts, feelings and actions. Otherwise, we are bound to be born again with whatever desires (good or bad) we have. 🙏
To feel the desire of liberation itself, is rather an impossible one, but rarely one may opt to 🙏
When we keenly observe the limits and limitations of every relationship on earth, it is not that difficult for anyone who has clarity on Advaita Vedanta in their life time to get the desire for liberation although it might be on and off. But it is really challenging to retain consistently the sense of non doer-ship.
a lot of that is just wishful thinking, as Eckhart Tolle said its more likely someone with bad karma to get enlightened than with good
@@arete7884 The story of Ajamila in KartikaPuranam which is part of the smritis in Vedic culture makes everyone think that even after doing a lot of bad karma in this life, one can attain Peace (not enlightenment) if he or she recites God’s name. But I think the good karma that was done in many other previous lives out weighs the bad karma done in this life which might accidentally get triggered by a small auspicious occasion in the life of the person who is enlightened in this life even though having done bad karma. Another story of Akasharaja king from Venkatachala mahatyam says that although he was doing many many mistakes for a few lives, the immense devotion towards the lord has brought him a deep association with the Lord. Although these are just stories that give us small messages and as I understand they are relevant as long as we are identified with the body, I think they would help the person to grow up step by step to reach the goal of enlightenment. I feel good karma will help a person to develop Satwa guna, and Satwa guna in turn will help the respective mind to transcend the duality. Rajas and Tamas minds cannot transcend the duality as per bhagavadgita and even I feel the same in my reality. There is definitely the role of good karma in lifting the mind up whether it is of previous births or of this birth. Nevertheless, a so called good mind or a bad mind has to get enlightened some day and there is nothing like good or bad existing from the state of pure consciousness. Can you please give me the link to the Eckart tolle’s video that you have mentioned?
@@myspiritualjourney-hm4624 Just google eckhart karma , could be on his paid side tho not sure if on youtube.
This old dogmatic view karma seems like a childish video game grinding good boi points for enlightenment xd It seems more clearly the old saying that west and east (lock n key ) mysticism have been split and incomplete without each other
if we consider ourselves as consciousness, who is doing the karma, the body, the mind or the consciousness itself? and who amongst these get affected by those karma?
Consciousness. Everything is connected to our Consciousnes, this is why Lord Krishna talking about reaching GODHEAD consciousness / enlightenment. Action can tricker karma negatives or positive. Karma is apart of universal law.
Loved this ! Can we know it’s part of which of his talk ? Can we hear it all ??

The story is beautiful but it's just teach us moral teachings. Everyone will listen and nobody will follow.
Suppose I believe in good karma and I believe in all honesty and morals. But a tiger can't understand moral values . So he will attack me. And This is applied for cruels and psychopath people . If I believe in this beautiful story and cunning people make profit from my charitable nature so where's is the point of being a good person.
No absolute protection... That may be the way destined(?) 🙏🙏🙏
@@narayanabhandary3797 Actually Sir pujya swami ji is absolutely right. I believe in him otherwise I will never listen him. I feel he is so precise as mathmathics. The problem is I believe in this beautiful story but everyone should believe and this beautiful story will become truth because this beautiful insight is truth. Most of us just listen and emotionally charged for sometime. And this wonderful insight becomes fader . The world is desireful, lustful. So people are selfish and greedy. And swami ji taught us " be happy without desires " And this is absolutely possible and right. The story is metaphysics. No wonder why people forget.
swami when will you come back to INDIA.?
I wonder what that guest would be going through :-D
Namaste guruji🙏 very enlightening video
First heard of king Janaka earlier today and I like this story.
Jai Shri Ram 🕉️❤️🕉️
Pranam swamiji
But raja Janak had to deal with the sadness of his daughter Sita's married life.
They come to give us the lesson of Dharma ...their idea and life are on the dharma ,so we call them God....
Pranam Swamiji 🙏🏻
Find Out :
Why was King Janaka Blessed with so much POWER, GLORY & SPIRITUAL Enlightenment?
King Janaka was the Father of
Mother Goddess of the World- Maa Sita
&
Father in law of
The Supreme Creator - God Himself
= Shri Ram
&
He was a Great King+An Acclaimed Gyani- A Vedic Scholar of the 1st Order.
King janaka ...is my ideal form :D 🔱
Namasakr swami ji please say the same story in hindi
Thanks Dear sir.
Joyguru.
Is it by any chance that in the story of king janak the four children represent the 3 stages of mind and the turiya/the fourth one? The leaf eater represent the waking state as in the world the leaves are the source of energy to all life force as it makes food for plants and thus starts the food chain, the ash eater represent the dreaming state as dreams are as useless as the ash, and the child borning and dying the same day represent the deep sleep state as when we sleep deeply we don't remember anything seen in deep sleep and we just remember we slept and woke up and between that there was nothing, just like the life of the new born - he borns and just after that he dies and to him that life is nothing. The fourth child represents the enlightened person, who knows Brahman, who knows the turiya or the fourth one.
Can it be an example explanation?
Can it be an another pointer towards that Ultimate reality?
Nice story swami jee
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Excellent narration
Thank you 🙏 much love
But the guest was selfish
beautiful story wonderfully told
Thank u Swamiji
The guest was the worst.
❤️
What a cruel story! Tell me, what happened to the guest who demanded the bread of the starving children?
Cruel story?!
Interesting point. I never thought about the visitor. If you believe the gist of this story, the guest will pay for his Karma ( based on whether he was aware that these children were starving or not) or you may call it as .. God was testing the children or God's plan.
But any which way, calling it a cruel story is not correct
The power of sacrifice!
Jai Sri Ramakrishna
Nice😊
I always wonder what happened to the guest who was keen on asking 'roti' from kids ?
This five year old child must Not be an ordinary one. The child may be a very evolved soul or may be an enlightened one or may have great wisdom and good karma also.
Thank you Swamiji for a nice story.
All these concepts are abstract beliefs
p
Everything is abstract, as every human being is unique 🙏
@@ashutoshpadhi2782 All of these concepts? You mean Karma theory or Vedanta?
Pronaams!🙏
🙏🏼
Whole point of the story is that there is no point as time as we perceive it doesn't exist😊
🙏
So beautiful story.
Pranam Swami ji 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Spread sanatan everywhere
Thank you Swami ji
Kindly put up the whole video

प्रणाम महाराज जी !
Our karma decide what we deserve or not.
its a stupid concept that doesnt match reality, theres no deserving its random
@@arete7884 I quoted this by Swami Vivekananda's karma yoga, are you saying he's wrong about karma.
@@arete7884 also according to science cause and effect is eternal law.
@@arete7884 N as Albert Einstein said nothing is random in this universe if in future we'll be developed enough we can predict the movement of tiny electron.
@@Bluntopinions Cause and effect is different to indians karma and rebirth etc...
Vishnu ji - rama ,Brahma ji- janaka.
Janaka raja represents brahma ji in stories😀,we must cooperate as brahma is busy solving the chaos.
Which talk the story originally belongs to? If you can kindly share the title
Read comments someone has answered its of bhagvad gita class on spotify
Ok thanks
Even though can't we transcend karma through contemplation of Atma??? Karma Is after all duelism
The story may not be factually correct but it has a deeper meaning.
@Umesh Gurjar I find its only the confused English educated Indians who have no learning of Indic knowledge put these comments.
@@sharauro exactly
It true story....
At 1:49 we learn that all this happened in King Janaka’s dream. Nonetheless, we can find a deeper meaning in it if we seek that.
Karma as you interpret is very wrong.
What's your interpretation ??
Explain..
@@genuineproducts3135 what we do has effect on everyone else and what everybody else do has an effect on us. Nothing related to mystical rebirth here.
@@ashutoshpadhi2782 You're understanding is incorrect.
@@ashutoshpadhi2782 karma & rebirth are baseline of all philosophies of India.
@@arun8687 oops, i love you ❤️
Swamiji love the story but ur story telling skills is not so engaging much... But my respects to you for sharing knowledge..thank you
