Self Realization

                                            Srimad Bhagavatam

The greatest annihilator of all is time whose weapons are disease and death.

When the living entity begins to identify with the material body, the entity gets entangled in the law of Karma.

This karma is according to the deeds of the entity.

If the deeds are in the mode of goodness (Sattvika) the entity is born in the celestial spheres.

If the deeds of the entity are passionate (Rajasika) the entity is born in the struggling world.

But if the deeds are in the ignorance mode (Tamasika) the entity is born completely deluded.

Thus the entities are born as beasts, birds, men, women, angels and gods.

Their journey is either upwards or downwards according to their deeds.

The entity enjoys or suffers according to its Karma.

Only when the entity realizes its true identity as the divine self does it get liberated from the clutches of Karma.

And it is then that the entity enjoys true bliss.
