Four types of Kamma (karma)



These four types of kamma have been understood, realized & made known by me. which four ?
There is kammma that is bad with bad result; kamma is good with good result; kamma that is bad & good with bad & good result; and kamma that is neither bad nor good with neither bad nor good result, leading to the ending of kamma.
And what is kamma that is bad with bad result ?
There is the case where a certain person fabricates an injurious bodily fabrication... an injurious verbal fabrication... an injurious mental fabrication... He rearise in an injurious world where he is touched by injurious contacts... He experiences feelings that are exclusively painful, like those of the beings in hell. This is callled kamma that is bad with bad result.
And what is kamma that is good with good result ?
There is the case where a certain person fabricates an uninjurious bodily fabrication... an uninjurious verbal fabrication... an uninjurious mental fabrication... He rearise in an uninjurious world where he is touched by uninjurious contacts... He experiences feelings that are exclusively pleasant, like those of the Ever-Radiant Devas. This is callled kamma that is good with good result.
What is kamma that is bad & good with bad & good result ?
There is the case where a certain person fabricates a bodily fabrication that is injurious & uninjurious... a verbal fabrication that is injurious & uninjurious... a mental fabrication that is injurious & uninjurious... He rearise in an injurious & uninjurious world where he is touched by injurious & uninjurious contacts... He experiences injurious & uninjurious feelings, pleasure mingled with pain, like those of human beings, some devas and some beings in lower realms. This is callled kamma that is bad & good with bad & good result.
What is kamma that is neither bad nor good with neither bad nor good result, leading to the ending of kamma ?
The intention right there to abandon this kamma that is bad with bad result, the intention right there to abandon this kamma that is good with good result, , the intention right there to abandon this kamma that is bad & good with bad & good result, This is called kamma that is neither bad nor good with neither bad nor good result, leading to the ending of kamma.
[ Defining bad kamma with bad result : There is the case of certain person who kills living beings, steals what is not given, engages in illicit sex, tells lies and drinks fermented & distilled liquors that are the basis of heedlessness.
And good kamma with good result : There is the case of certain person who abstains from killing living beings, abstains from stealing what is not given, abstains from engages in illicit sex, abstains from tells lies and abstains from drinks fermented & distilled liquors. ] A.IV.232

Some Memorable Episodes

When I was in the 7th standard, all schools were notified by the central government to teach First Aid - a popular initiative of Supreme Court judge, Mr. Jijibhai. Being very fond of books I purchased one on this subject from the market that was more comprehensive than the book supplied by the school. My father had always encouraged this kind of initiative in us. During the examination, my answers were more thorough than what was taught in class and I stood first in all of Myanmar. The doctor overseeing the exams wrote in his comments that this boy was the sharpest of all the students, and on his recommendations, the then British Governor Krokreen presented me with a gold medal in front of a large assembly. Values inculcated by my first teacher, my aunt who was virtuous and filled with Dhamma, especially her rebuke when I made fun of my teacher Kasu Sir, ensured that I grew more conscientious and focused more on my studies. As a result I always stood first in my class and became a favo

Buddha and Dharma

The pure religion published by some Samyak Sambuddha gets distorted over the passage of time, then it becomes extinct. In such a situation, people forget the true meaning of religion. Holding her was a far away thing. There is no nomination of common modesty in a person, what is the matter of mind-restraint and purity? But such a person is filled with caste respect because of being born in a special caste. He considers himself religious because of his birth. He hates other castes by considering them inferior. Even his shadow makes him unbearable. Religion reaches the peak of its descendence, while the scriptures created by people of a particular caste declare that no matter how miserable, miserable and miserable the person of their caste may be, but he deserves worship and honor. It is. On the contrary, no matter how modest, virtuous, wise a person of any other caste may be, he is not worshipable, but entitled to be tortured like animals. Casteism has become a religion for such people.

He reassured me that everything is ready while leaving. Don't you worry. You send the material in the press. Books will be out in two days. I couldn't believe how this would turn out? His body was calm in the journey just before reaching Bhopal leaving Mumbai. While leaving, I told you not to worry, the booklets will be ready. And literally two days after she left her associate printer handed me both booklets I wanted...... My respected father Shri Gopiramji's elder brother i.e. my uncle Shri Dwarkadasji's age was increasing and his body was also becoming unwell. They didn't have any sons. Seven daughters were born one after another in life. The father was worried about him how his descendant would run if he didn't have a single son? Due to this concern, he had adopted his first son Balkrishna to his other elder brother Shri Rameshwarji, because he had no children. No son, no daughter. He had unlimited respect for the elder brothers. To free my elder brother D
