Passage 4

Action is the cause for everything

While karma (action) is responsible for pleasure, pain, birth, death, etc., kala (time) is also very essential for every karma. Without these two, man cannot live even for a moment. However, action is the cause for everything. What was the cause for King Harishchandra to become the caretaker of the cremation ground, for the separation of King Nala and his spouse Damayanti, and for the imprisonment and suffering of Sant Ramadas? It was the karma alone.
