The mysterious workings of karma, sometime called the ?law of Karma,? are difficult, almost impossible to know. Only Krishna thoroughly know the workings of karma. The verse, yas tv indragopam?translates as follows: I adore the primeval Lord Govinda, who burns up to their roots all fruitive activities of those who are imbued with devotion and impartially ordains for each the due enjoyment of the fruits of one?s activities, of all those who walk in the path of work, in accordance with the chain of their previously performed works, no less in the case of the tiny insect that bears the name of indragopa than in that of Indra, king of the devas. Disasters such as plane crashes, destruction of thousands of civilians as in the holocaust and the World Trade Centres involve principles of karma. But punishment is often followed by good reactions once the principle of transmigration is established. As Queen Kunti prays in SB 1.8.25: ?I wish that all those calamities would happen again and again so that we could see You again and again, for seeing You means that we will no longer see repeated births and deaths.? In other words, one who is devotionally inclined sees that because of the Lord?s absolute nature, even apparent curses and punishments are blessing in disguise.
