In Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna, while preaching to Arjuna, has said a very deep thing that no person in this world can live without doing any work even for a moment. Even when we are sitting quietly or sleeping, our body and brain are working in some state or the other. The definition of karma has been explained very extensively in the Geeta and Upanishads. Karma does not just mean the external actions done by our hands and feet, but the thoughts that arise in our mind, our feelings towards others and the words that come out of our mouth are also considered equally big karma.
This is the reason why some of our negative habits unknowingly start creating ‘inauspicious karma’. The ‘karma dosha’ arising from these small behaviors gradually overpowers our prarabdha (destiny), and then we do not understand why we are facing so many difficulties in life even after doing everything right.
Let us know about those 5 daily habits, which create karmic defects in our lives and why we should avoid them.
1. Criticizing others and speaking bitter words
We often, while sitting among friends or in our free time, start pointing out the shortcomings of others, which we call ‘gossip’ or condemnation in common parlance. This may seem like a very normal behavior to us, but according to spiritual science it is a very negative karma. When we speak ill or insult someone, we are transmitting negative energy within ourselves by suppressing the voice of our conscience.
Apart from this, sharp and bitter words spoken carelessly leave a deep wound on the other person’s heart. You may forget those words you spoke, but the karmic defect created by them creates tension and obstacles in your future relationships.
2. Having a habit of just taking or snatching away the rights of others
Some people have a habit of looking only for their own benefit in every relationship or situation. Be it money, time, love or energy – they always expect to get more and more from others, but do not want to give anything in return.
When this habit increases, people unknowingly start violating the rights and entitlements of others. The law of nature works on balance. When you extract more from society or a person than he/she can handle and do not return gratitude or help in return, karmic imbalance arises. This imbalance increases the burden of sins in your life.
Habits and their karmic impact: at a glance
How our everyday mental and practical habits affect our destiny can be easily understood from the table given below:
3. Suffocating by suppressing emotions internally
Many people are unable to express their anger, hatred, jealousy or sadness openly and suppress it within themselves. They think that by remaining silent they have handled the matter, but in reality, suppressed emotions are just a form of energy, which creates a deep negativity within you.
Relationship between mental heaviness and karma dosha
When you suppress jealousy or hatred towards someone in your heart, that energy disturbs your mental balance. By not releasing emotions, an unknown fear and tension remains in the mind all the time. This mental disturbance makes you take wrong decisions unknowingly, which later on takes the form of major karmic defects.
4. Lack of self-control and chasing desires
When a person becomes a slave to his senses and desires, he completely loses control over his mind. Being excessively immersed in desires, greed and material pleasures may initially bring a lot of pleasure, but in reality it completely destabilizes the mind.
Due to lack of control, a blind race to achieve more starts in the mind, which takes a person on the wrong path. You may not see its results immediately, but this habit slowly destroys both your future and good fortune.
5. Taking decisions under the shadow of fear (Fear-Based Decisions)
Fear is considered the biggest enemy of man. When you make any decision out of fear—like not taking action toward your dreams out of fear of failure, or avoiding telling the truth out of fear of upsetting someone—you get stuck in the karmic cycle.
Fear is a very low and negative energy, which closes your paths to self-improvement and prosperity. Decisions taken under the shadow of fear can never give you the right results, because they are not based on conscience but on the feeling of insecurity.
conclusion:
Karma is not some external court, but it is the exact law of the universe that keeps track of our every thought and behavior. If you also want to see positive changes in your life and want the support of luck, then start improving these small mental and practical habits from today itself. When your thoughts and words are pure, your destiny will automatically shine.
