Demoralized Seeing the sinners as wealthy & happy? Clear Tips!
A woman devotee who requested anonymity asked like this:
“Dear Rajan Sir, Hare Krishna…!!! First of all thanks for creating a beautiful site for all of us. I want to ask you why selfish, mean and heartless people are always happy in their life? Why they get everything in life in spite of hurting people so many times? Lord Krishna can’t see them that they are doing wrong with innocent people? Why lord Krishna doesn’t punish them? I never did anything wrong with anyone in my whole life. If I did anything wrong by mistake God can always punish me. I always welcome his punishment. I just want to ask why this world is so unfair? Please, please, please reply Sir…!!! and please don’t reveal my name…!!!

You are seeing just their outside life and get demoralized Seeing the sinners as wealthy & happy! If you go into their life deeply, you can find that they are suffering with different issues other than money.
Where there is more money, there will be more chances for doing sinful acts also. Because, they can buy anything with money and hence they buy sins also.
Whereas poor are struggling even for their day to day life. They can’t afford to involve in the costly sins (!!).

Wealthy people continue to cheat others with white collar crimes for becoming still richer. The poor involve in small sins because of the emotional outburst only.
Many of the persons who are sinners in this birth are enjoying this world as a reward for them.
This reward is because, they would have done so many good services and helped others in their past birth(s).
They are reaping the results of their good karma of their previous births.
They are expected to continue their good deeds in this birth also. But, they are involving in sinful acts in this birth with the pride and strength of being blessed with wealth and pleasures considering themselves as fortunate people.
They do not realize that this is a test for them. Lord gives them tests. He sees whether this man is following his honesty even after getting blessed with the wealth and health based on his good karma.

If he misuses these blessings and involves in sinful acts, he will definitely face the reactions of his bad deeds in his next birth.
He will get good benefits till his past good deeds get cleared. That’s all. He may start to face the reaction even in his later part of this current life.
So, remember: Our life involves these two:
(i) Facing the reactions of our past good and bad karma;
(ii) Involving in new karma to be faced later or in next birth.
For the same reason, even some beggars get 5-10 children instantly without longing for that. They even feel “Oh lord, why did you give this much of children for us?”.

Because, they had helped or protected many children in their previous births. But, they lavishly spent their wealth. So, they get more children now and less wealth now.
Similarly, some rich persons are going from temple to temple for decades to get the blessing of a child, but, they do not get a child. Why? They would have remained as a cause for the death or misery of children in their previous births, but, would have helped many in their life. So, they are rich now, but, childless.
So, the reply for you is that they are reaping the benefits of their past karma and also involving in new karma.
Hope you are clear about getting demoralized Seeing the sinners as wealthy & happy!
