________________ Bonding of Karma (Bandha). 145 may be understood as god-father for the purpose of understanding the point. A cancer patient considers his doctor as 'god' when he gets cured. An accused in the prison considers his lawyer as “god when he gets the judgment for his release. But such successful outcome does not always happen with every doctor and lawyer. Many times an influential and powerful god-father also becomes unsuccessful in achieving the objectives. These stanzas are going to be very useful to those who feel that they are powerful and are helping and making lives of many persons pleasant. To all helpers and persons devoted to the progress of their fellow beings these stanzas may be helpful. For deriving the benefit one is required to keep in mind the following: (i) He should not forget that despite his efforts and influence the outcome would be in accordance with the rise of Karma of the person or persons concerned. With this notion he would be less egoist on the success and less guilty on the failure. (ii) He should not ignore moral and ethics in his actions. It is he who would pay the price of violating moral and ethics in the form of Kārmika bonding to him. (iii) On the top of all the worldly tasks he should realize that in true sense he is not the physical body. In reality he is a soul and as a soul he neither owns his body nor he can make anybody happy or unhappy. He should realize that he, as a soul, is not the doer of the events which appear to be happening through his personality. He is neither the doer nor the owner of the actions of his body. Thus he should realize that his notion of making other living beings happy or unhappy is incorrect in the true sense. He should be clear that his role as a soul is to know. (We would see more about this role in stanza 320.)
