Taking something from this material world that is legitimately allotted to you by nature and your karmic synchronicities and according to your social station in life , is not sinful but will be entangleing .
Thus, in Vedic culture, whatever you naturally acquire has been alloted to you by fate is perfectly fine . However the Vedas says a certain portion should be offered back to Divinity or His agents as the best of sacrifice because saints always know how best use resources . One could also give in charitable acts , so in that way actions become less entangleing, so either further material benefits by giving in charity or highly spiritually beneficial if given to saints . 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 ways . Sin always goes against morality , ethics, and in most cases of truely civilised society , the law . Sin always causes 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.
Also, according to ones station in life , and the specific duties associated with it , comes different calculations of degrees of sin , an educated man in places of social responsibility , or a leader 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 , but an educated man who sins pays a greater price for sin than an uneducated man .
This great science of action reactions and the systematic universal responses are discussed fully in Bhagavad Gita.
Here, perhaps is an example of sin …
Divide and rule ..
Today’s wars are fought on many fronts, but the economic war is most crucial, especially to the gross materialist , they want to win that at any cost . Unfortunately, that means creating conflicts in the competitors’ territory .
Thus, the competitors are forced to spend their money fighting wars instead of developing their economy for the people of their nations .All the while those that manipulate wars, their economic developments grow strong , so much so they profit by supplying arms in the war zones that they helped to create .
Such is the state of ruthless leaders who have no hearts but a lust for money …
