The corona pandemic can be seen in another way from a more higher dharmic perspective. Dharma states that each one of has a purpose and there is a reason on why we exists? There is a optimal path for each one of us that is specifically designed for our soul which aligns with the cosmic order. But when number of us has moved away from our path , nature reacts to restore the balance in the cosmic order. Does this corona pandemic imply vengeance and wrath upon the human society? No, It simply demands change from us. But can't this be done in less harsh way ? The truth is transformation only happens when we are challenged. Superficial understanding does not lead to core transformation.
Although the spread of corona virus is a global event, each one of us are bound to face it according to our individual karma. Karma is anything we do that produces results. Karmic activity sets context of our life over which we have no control and dharmic activity is the correct way to navigate through these context, it is the best path to walk given the circumstances and to grow spiritually too.
People are destined to die through any means be it virus, old age or other diseases, So , instead being anxious, Gita teaches us to contemplate on; What is actually death? Why we die although none of us wish to die? Can’t we become deathless? Why we get diseased although none of us like to get diseases? Why are we getting old day by day although none of us like old age? Who are we actually? How do we get out of this temporary , miserable world ? Anyone who truly contemplates and seeks to understand is assured of realization of the reality of our existence and death.
Krishna says ; That which pervades the entire body you should know to be indestructible. No one is able to destroy that imperishable soul. The body we have is made of matter and is destined to get diseased, become old and die out one day. And the good news is we as a soul are eternal, deathless. Living entity keeps on changing bodies and getting new births. What we have to endeavor for; is to be out of birth, disease, old age, death cycle.
