Pankaj: Pankaj Email: rawat.pankaj899@gmail.com Query: I read in geeta, aatma is immortal but in gurad purana, it is mention that peoples got punishment according to their deed during life time. i am thinking how yamraj can punish aatma after death?
Swami Ram Swarup: Yes, soul is immortal but as per Vedas, person is free to do pious deeds or sins. But result of his deeds is awarded by God, in the shape of happiness and sorrows respectively. That is why, the soul enters in several bodies like that of human-beings and other living-beings. You see, Garud Purann is totally against Vedas, so learned do not accept Garud Purann and Yamraj does not exist that he comes to take the soul at the time of Death. God Himself is empowered to give death and birth. I paste my article in this regard-
Three types of Deeds
There are three types of deeds (karmas) – sanchit, prarabhadh and kriyamann. Suppose one soul has to take birth (body). It means he has to face total number of deeds of his all previous lives and these deeds are called sanchit karmas but sanchit deeds are huge/unlimited and cannot be faced in one life. So the karmas which can be faced in one life are called prarabhadh (luck-destiny). So God has not made our luck at His own but Almighty God has considered the deeds which we have already done.
Yajurveda mantra 7/48 clarifies that human being is free to do any deed good or bad but God only awards the result. Now the balance deeds from sanchit deeds will be counted in the next life. Now the deeds which we do in our day today present life are called kriyamann.
If we do pious deeds according to Vedas, shastras and holy books and based on pious preaches of Rishi, Muni/learned saints then our all sanchit deeds are burnt and we can get salvation. Human beings are free in the matter of doing deeds good or bad. But result will be awarded by God. So we must worship and do pious deeds under guidance of a learned Guru. One should go always ahead for hard working, pious deeds, worship to make future bright himself. One should always work hard towards a right path.
Worship does not mean that we are free to discharge only our family duties, education, etc., but rather it is a sin. We have to get progress in both way simultaneously i.e., spiritualism and worldly progress i.e., science, education, duties towards family etc. God creates the universe according to His eternal law framed in Vedas which are always unchangeable and unchallengeable. So we have to follow the law of God always to get long happy life.
