Table of Contents: The Infallible Theory of Karma
Chapter 1: The Three-Tiered Ledger (Mechanics of Storage)
- The Concept: Karma is not a vague “vibe”; it is a sophisticated data-storage system.
- The Components: Sanchita (The Warehouse of all past deeds), Prarabdha (The Current Dividend/Fate), and Agami (The Future Investment/Free Will).
- The Function: It provides the “Hardware” for the system, ensuring that every action is saved to the cosmic cloud.
Chapter 2: The Law of Inevitability (The Uncheatable Algorithm)
- The Concept: Action and Reaction are mathematically equal and morally inescapable.
- The Components: Vipaka (Ripening) and the Conservation of Moral Energy.
- The Function: It provides the “Operating System,” ensuring that the law works automatically without the need for a subjective judge.
Chapter 3: The Resolution of “Unfairness” (The Balancing of the Scales)
- The Concept: There are no accidents, only delayed consequences.
- The Components: The “Why Me?” diagnostic for suffering and the explanation for the “Prosperous Villain.”
- The Function: It serves as the “PR Department,” reconciling the harsh reality of injustice with the theory of a perfect universe.
Chapter 4: The Zero-Balance Sheet (The Goal of Neutrality)
- The Concept: The ultimate objective is to close the account, not to gain “Good Credits.”
- The Components: Nishkama Karma (Desireless Action) and the “Roasting” of karmic seeds.
- The Function: It provides the “Exit Strategy,” turning the philosophy from a system of bondage into a roadmap for total liberation (Moksha).
Chapter 5: The Logic of Continuity (The Self as the Eternal Auditor)
- The Concept: Death is merely a transfer of data between bodies.
- The Components: The Atman (The Soul) and the Sukshma Sharira (The Subtle Body).
- The Function: It provides the “Infrastructure,” ensuring that the Ledger holder remains continuous across lifetimes so the books can always be balanced.
The “Infallible” Logic Loop
When viewed together, these five chapters create an airtight circle:
- Accountability: You did it (Chapter 5).
- Storage: It was recorded (Chapter 1).
- Inevitability: It must result in something (Chapter 2).
- Justification: This is why your life looks the way it does (Chapter 3).
- Solution: This is how you stop the cycle (Chapter 4).
The Auditor’s Summary of the Pitch
The philosophy is sold as the only system that offers 100% radical responsibility. It tells the masses: “You are never a victim of a cruel universe; you are only ever a witness to your own past choices.” It is a beautifully architected “Perfect Machine.” However, as we noted earlier, a machine that looks perfect on paper often fails the “Reality of Living” test because it ignores systemic fraud, human empathy, and the logical gaps in unproven data.
