Defining the death / re-incarnation

Universe is the lovely manifestation of forces dancing together, opposing each other and influencing each other. These universal forces have there own properties which defined the it's purpose being in universe. For example mother earth /woman (feminine forces) has re-productive ,caring in nature. Where as masculine forces has creative /constructive in nature. Shiva( masculine forces) and Shakti when unites (feminine forces) these manifest in to wonderful constructive things.

As we have discussed every forces has it's own purpose. If these forces are freely expressing/ flowing it becomes lively. When If it stops flowing it becomes dead. Does it mean that every thing is disappeared in the thin air? It does not. As it could not manifest it get chanalized in to some other form of energy with different purpose (Law of conservation of energies). This can also be known as incarnation. And exactly same thing happens when any living thing become dead.

So when it comes to any forces, one need to chanalize these forces it can be done in three ways. One should enjoy the outcome of energy for themselves (Bhoga), use if for constructive /creative things (Karma) or if one could not use it, it should be given to somebody who can make use of or in need of it(Dana- Donations). In other cases the forces will be dead and re-incarnated as some other forces. Then what is the difference here is unnatural incarnation of force not completing it's purpose.

As human being we should try either enjoy whatever we have , make use of it for helping somebody or give it to other person to use. We need to make sure that we help that force, thing or person to achieve it's intended purpose of it's existence and finally achieve natural re-incarnation for another purpose.

Is there any thing called right or wrong?

When we talk about right or wrong ? We need to understand two famous scientific laws every action has equal and opposite reaction and theory of relativity.

The law of action and reaction says for every action there will be equal and opposite reaction. This means in universe for every given force there is counter balancing force exists.

Where as theory of relativity states every thing is relative nothing is absolute. If we stand facing north, sun will be rising at our right where as If we face south it will be left.In the same ways there is nothing called absolute right or absolute wrong. It just relatively right and wrong in context of the situation. Same thing which is right can be wrong in some other context. The rain in February is good for drinking water supply for cities in India but bad for food grain production and so on....

If we start talking the examples from Mahabharata/ Ramayana like Naro-Wa-Kunjara episode of Krinshna, Draupadi marrying with five padavas, Ambika and Ambalika getting conceived by RishiVeda Vyasa, Rama leaving Sita or may be it Sita's Agnipariksha. There is enormous instances where we will start thinking was this right thing happened/did in the great tales?

Then how to take a stand or take a decision which way to go? If we follow the basic thumb rule of being supportive to the forces which are constructive and for betterment for majority in long run, we have the answer. Where as, as a human being we have a tendency to define the rules at large as laws, as the rituals or guidelines by shastra or it may be whatever we have learnt and try to bind all forces by it. Is it possible binding all forces by rules? Even modern science also agrees on every rules has exception(s). So rules , experiences can be guidelines for predicting how forces will behave, but it's not the way it will behave. Every situation in life is different and need to be dealt as if we are experiencing it at the first time.
