Breaking the bonds of KARMA

In conditions life we are committing things at every step even without knowing it. The reason we are sinning unknowingly is that we have been in ignorance from our every birth.
This ignorance is prominent despite so many educational institutions. Why? because despite so many big, big universities, none of them is teaching of atma-tattva for the science of the soul.

Therefore people remain in ignorance,  and they continue to sin and suffer the reactions. That is started in the Srimad Bhagavatam (5.5.3):parabhavas tavad abodha-jato yavan na jijnasata atma tattvam.

This foolishness will continue until one comes to the platform of understanding self-realization.

Otherwise, all these universities and Institutions for imparting knowledge are a continuation of that same ignorance and foolishness. Unless one comes to the point of asking  “What am I? What is God? What is this world? What is my relationship with God and this world?” and finds proper answers, One continuos to be  foolish like an animal and is subjected to transmigration from one body to another in different species of life. This is the result of ignorance.

(video belongs to Sadhguru. Yogi, mystic, visionary and poet, Sadhguru is a spiritual master with a difference. An arresting blend of profundity and pragmatism, his life and work serve as a reminder that yoga is not an esoteric discipline from an outdated past, but a contemporary science, vitally relevant to our times. Probing, passionate and provocative, insightful, logical and unfailingly witty, Sadhguru’s talks have earned him the reputation of a speaker and opinion-maker of international renown.)

So, the modern civilization is very risky. One may feel comfortable as a successful Businessman or politician, or one may think oneself comfortable because of being born in rich Nation like America, but these statuses  of life are temporary. They will have to change, and we do not know what kind of miseries we will have to suffer in our next life because of our sinful activities. so if one does not begin cultivating transcendental knowledge, then one's life is very risky. Suppose a healthy man is living in a contaminated place. is his life not at risk? He may become infected by diseases at any moment. Therefore we should work to dissipate our ignorance through cultivation of transcendental knowledge.

A good example of how we commit sins unknowingly is eating. In the Bhagavad-gita Krishna says that His devotees are freed from sin because they eat only the remnants of food that has been offered to Him. But, He says, those who cook for themselves eat only sin. The difference between cooking here in this temple and cooking in some ordinary house is that our cooking and eating a relieving us from sin, while the cooking and eating of a non-devotee are simply  entangling him more and more in sin. The cooking and eating appear  the same, but they are different. Here there is no sin  because the food is being cooked and eaten for Krishna.
