Carmayoga , Causation and Correlation!!

Yes Karmayoga with a "C"..Its "Carmayoga"!! Just to make the theory little more interesting!! So here is the theory..Not so intelligent people like me confuse all these three phenomena and most importantly try to apply the same "confused" logic to all the situations we face in life..Well "taaa daaa!!! It doesn't work that way!! (I am still trying to apply more than one to justify my situations)

I hope, I have succeeded in building up your curiosity.So lets start with the definitions.

'C'armayoga :

नेकी कर पुत्तर!! नेकी पा !! Unfortunately this is the most commonly confused translation.. :(
life is a little different than this..( अरे वा !! आयुष्यावर philosophy झाडायला कसल भारी  वाटत !)  कृष्णाने सांगितल्याप्रमाणे "कर्म करो , फळ कि अपेक्षा न करो ! निष्काम कर्म करो  पार्थ " किंवा "कर्म करना तुम्हारी कार्य सीमा के अंदर है , फळ मिलना वा ना मिलना तुम्हारी कक्षा के बाहर है । " मी जर सुरु झाले तर BR Chopra च्या महाभारतातला  ७२  आणि ७३ वेसंपूर्ण भाग लिहून काढेन :) :) विषयांतर नको.. उदाहरणार्थ कष्ट करणं आपल्या हातात आहे , त्याच फळ मिळणं , न मिळणं आपल्या पलीकडे आहे …

Correlation : 

" a relation existing between phenomena or things or between mathematical or statistical variables which tend to vary, be associated, or occur together in a way not expected on the  basis of chance alone"- says merriam-webster.com. So the gist is two or multiple actions  and/or outcomes can be correlated. Foe example : The quantity and quality of masalas and salt is directly related to the taste of the curry ..

Causation :

This is a simple theory of cause and effect. It is a direct relationship between cause and effect.For example (the classic one ! ) If you study well , your results will be good. There are  some flaws in this example , पण ढोबळ मानाने सत्य आहे…

तर…आपल्यासारखी सामान्य लोक सगळीकडे एकच logic लावत बसतात।अनि सगळ्यात वाईट…. मी काय वाईट केलाय म्हणून माझ्यासोबत वाईट होतंय ? किंवा काही न चांगला करता कसा काय चांगला होऊ शकत ??  I believe whatever you give to life , life gives back! Its the boomerang effect and I still honestly believe in that..


Sohan Kale taught me to apply these three theories to the right situation..प्रत्येक प्रसंगाचं विश्लेषण करताना वेगळ्या प्रकारे विचार करायला हवा… वेगळे प्रसंग , वेगळी कारण आणि वेगळे विचार…. प्रत्येक वेळी जस परिस्थितीला दोष देण चुकीच आहे तसंच स्वतःलाही !! जर सगळ्या प्रसंगांच outcome आपल्या हातात असतं तर  त्या कर्त्या करवित्या ची गरज उरलीच नसती…

There is always a balance between Being and Doing..And sometimes you are the cause , sometimes you are the effect, Sometimes actions and reactions are correlated but this is not the rule of thumb!!
