Anil Kumar Questions and
Answers
Question 19
Karma, is
it individual? Are countries also bound by karma? (08.12.2002)
Perhaps like ‘wholesale’ and
‘retail’? This gentleman must have been a top businessman!
(Laughter) Very good!
Kind friends, do not misunderstand
me -- I'm just joking. I don’t mean any disrespect to those who
have asked these questions. I really bow down in all humility to
the people who have asked these questions because they are all
spiritual seekers. They are exemplary. They are noble and role
models for me in particular because these questions help me to go
into detail, into the depth. So, I thank them very much.
The question is this: Are
countries bound by karma? In the Holy Bible, there is a
mention of two cities -- Sodom and Gomorrah. The inhabitants of
these two cities mentioned in the Holy Bible were drowned.
The inhabitants were totally punished by God. That’s what the
Holy Bible says. When people are unrighteous, naturally the
whole place is condemned.
A country is not only a geographical
location. A country is not only dust, mud and sand. A country is a
collection of people. When the people are unrighteous…For example,
just think of Afghanistan, where ancient Buddha statues of 200 or
300 feet in height were bombed and totally demolished by dynamite.
So many Buddha statues were demolished there in Afghanistan. What
later happened to Afghanistan? You all know that. When people are
unrighteous, naturally they will have to face the reaction. That’s
the answer I can give you.
