Karma or The Result?

When I was twelve years old, I asked my mother “Mumma! What’s the point of studying? I know addition then why am I told to add kg and m in separate chapters? It’s the same addition!” and my mother replied “Maths will help you when you will buy things, English will help you understand the mathematics questions, Hindi is our mother tongue…” and she went on!! At the end I was told “beta karma karo, falkichinta mat karo”.
But I am old now, in the sense it’s 12 to 18; SIX YEARS, and today I realise, that policy have changed to: “Think about the result and then jump on karma.” Let me make it clearer.
Today when a student who opts for non-medical stream is asked what you want to do, he will say “I will become a Computer Science Engineer.” Ask him the same question after 2 years and this time the reply will be “CS industry is facing recession. No Engineering. I will do something else.” That student won’t give a thought to ‘why I took non-med. Then?’ because he is worried about the recession instead of what he is interested in.
Sometimes commerce or a science student wants to become a writer or a singer or a dancer. Parents directly tell him “Writer? He has no future. No publisher will give you space. Your brother is a doctor. Look at him.” Let him try. What if he succeeds? They will proudly say “My son is a WRITER.”
The last one! Sometimes when you help a poor or a disabled, the question that people will put up is “what will you get by helping them? C’mon stop wasting money in travelling and going there. You will tire yourself.” Firstly we are asked to come out of our nests and explore the world and when we are looking towards the real world and getting out of our nests we are told “YOU WILL TIRE YOURSELF”!! Travelling is the part of exploring. Helping a poor or disabled will help the society grow, poor and disabled are part of it and it’s our duty to deal with them in the best possible way.
#CONCLUSION: It is the result that we see today and decide the karma. I want to become an engineer means no recession can change that thought but things are in the other way.
A writer is told that he has no future. People will think about the result of “no publisher will give him a space” instead of letting him do what he want to do. And the same goes for the helping thing.
Recession first engineer next, publishing first writer then, get first help later—-> RESULT FIRST KARMA NEXT.
