Fruitive activities are described: karma-pamanim mayam. The living entity is seated on a machine (the body), and according to the order of the Supreme Lord, he operates the machine. This is the secret of transmigration of the soul from one body to another. The living entity thus becomes entangled in fruitive activities in this material world enjoying or suffering the reactions of his own activities.Note: Fruitive suggests performing activities with the intent of enjoying the results.
One should understand the nature of karma, vikarma and akarma, and one must act accordingly.
Prescribed duties authorized by revealed scripture are called karma (good karma), whereas the failure to execute one’s highest duty is called akarma (bad karma). The performance of forbidden activities is called vikarma (very bad karma).
