Understanding of Paap and Punya

(पाप और पुण्य) -Anant Sri

Trapped in the concepts of पाप and पुण्य, innumerable people continue to suffer. This concept needs to be understood. Paap simply means actions done in unawareness and punya means actions done wakefully. Anything that takes your life energy down is paap and anything that lifts your life energy is punya. Actions, thoughts and feelings that break you into segments is paap and that which make you indivisible is punya. Paap is not in behaviour but in your feeling, it is not in your action but in it’s result and same applies to punya.

Now place everything together and see that when you are sleepy meaning when you are not aware then your life force begins to run down and this low feeling creates disintegration within you. And when you are full of awareness meaning when you are wakeful, then the level of your life force rises and this higher level makes you integrated, you become indivisible.

The lesser the awareness the more you are surrounded by limitations and bondages and the more the level of awareness, the more you become free and infinite. Therefore if you want to escape paap, then increase your awareness and then punya will begin to happen on its own.
