We are all born with the power to experience our Karma. This ability to experience a fixed sequence of events signals the birth of the Human Intellect. 

Karma helps to grow the mind by constantly subjecting it to opposing forces and experiences.  The primary force among these is Pleasure and Pain (both physical and mental).

Unable to bear these conflicting experiences, the mind begins to seek release from an existence about which it knows nothing. 

Our thought process is the only vehicle that can enables us to obtain release from these complicated sequence of events, over which we (seemingly) have no control.

KARMA REPRESENTS THE STARTING POINT OF THE JOURNEY TO DISCOVER ONE's "OWN" INNER SELF AND TO GRADUATE TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF EXISTENCE. 

THE TRUE INNER SELF IS DOES NOT HAVE ANY WORLDLY LIMITATIONS. THE TRUE INNER SELF IS A STATE OF MIND THAT IS BEYOND THE FORCES OF TRANSCIENCE AND CHANGE. 

THE  PATH THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO ATTAIN THIS STATE OF MIND AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ABILITY TO REMAIN ON THIS PATH DESPITE ADVERSE EXTERNAL EVENTS IS THE LESSON THAT WE LEARN FROM THE PURANAS. 

THE ABOVE IS THE ESSENCE OF THE PARAMATHMA's BHAGAVATH GITA AND SRIMAD BHAGAVATHAM. The Paramathma, through the Puranas shows us the only path that leads us out of the limitations that we experience in this circle of births and deaths.
