What is sin ?

Taking something from this material world that is legitimately allotted to you by your karmic synchronicity or fate, and that’s according to your social station in life is not sinful but will be entangleing . Although thoughtful  and careful consideration of our activities should  never left to the realms of speculations or whimsical choices , rather soley based on the science of consciousness , i.e . how consciousness is elevated  or degraded . Information about  the scientific movements of the human psychological self is the  science contained fully  in the  Bhagavad Gita and the Srimad Bhagavatam.

Thus, in Vedic culture, whatever you naturally take or acquire that has been alloted by fate having acted according to specific duties t  is perfectly fine , but it’s also recommended certain portions  should be offered back to Divinity or His agents , or in charitable acts , in that way  actions become less entangleing and more elevating . Although piety is elevating , we should be careful not to neglect something even greater than piety , namely developing a direct relationship to Divinity Himself , that is the perfection of our short time we spend in the current body we find ourselves in .Thus , Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita,  one who sees action in inaction and inaction in action is in knowledge , and everyone should unpack the mysterious nature of that statement.

Sin is defined , when someone encroaches  on others’ territories or  exploits other persons  for selfish reasons , that will cause harm in many  different ways ,  it can always be defined as  something that goes against morality , ethics , and expected duties . It will  cause all sorts of  pain to the others . One should know any physical or emotional pain one inflicts will be  alloted back to the perpetrator and with interest , sinful activities cause greater entanglements,  all the persons involved are entangleing themselves,  a future will play out with the same actors,  but differently situated.

According to ones station in life and the specific duties associated with it comes different calculations of the degrees of sin and their reaction . An educated man with  social responsibility ,  or a leader role  has to pay a heavy price if he or she performs the wrong actions . The example of a state leader issuing orders for war comes to mind , if women and children are killed or the whole basis of the war is based against the natural moral and international laws , the leader and his country will pay the price as well as the people who gave him power .

Thus, it behoves everyone to understand how to carefully act in this life ,and ultimately how to raise one’s consciousness and awareness.

This great science of action reactions and the systematic universal responses are discussed fully in Bhagavad Gita.
