YOUR REAL DNA IS THE BASKET OF YOUR UN-REDEEMED KARMA-S

Biological Sciences hold the view that DNA of a living being is the individual-specific helical structure of four Nitrogenous bases viz. Adenine, Thymidine, Cytosine and Guanine. These four Nitrogenous bases  are used in innumerable permutations to give rise to Genus specific, Species specific and individual specific Genetic Code. The Code provides a very specific blueprint of the individual, inherited from both parents, carrying secrets of all physical attributes, possible accomplishments, diseases, life-span, so on and so forth. Genetic Code gave rise to the fallacious concept of Genetic/Inherited diseases, has yet another dimension to scrutinise. That is where the knowledge of Science has failed while the wisdom of Adhyatma with respect to Karma, succeeded completely. We shall examine all that how.  

When our name is called out at any echo-point in hills, ranges respond with a distinct echo of our name according to Cause & Effect Principle. Doctrine of Karma vs. Karmaphala is also based on identical principles. Actions, speech and thoughts cause ripples in the infinite ocean of consciousness that revert in the form of joys, sorrows, plentitude or poverty. In a given life-span, every individual performs plethora of Karma-s, redeems quite a few long outstanding ones and creates a lot more Samskara-s i.e. imprints of Karma-s afresh in the course, to be redeemed later in subsequent incarnations. That is how the cycle of mortality goes on life after life, death after death. Every Karma has its own specifics with respect to intensity, content, gestation period and nature of proceeds that is destined to be redeemed whenever it matures. It may be explicitly understood by the analogy of striking a rubber ball on ground. Stronger the force at the point of hitting ground, higher the hardness of ground at the point of strike, higher the ball rebounds with a matching force. Karma-s are grouped as being Sancita i.e. latent, yet to be ripe and Prarabdha i.e. ripe to deliver proceeds etc.   

Karma-s that are matured to deliver proceeds, search for an appropriate ambience, compatible specifics to deliver pre-ordained proceeds effectively. In other words, matured Karma-s search for an appropriate family/clan/society/nation to annihilate themselves through redemption i.e. by delivering proceeds. Quite rationally, matured Karma-s decide the family having members with same or similar Karma-s where a dis-embodied Atma carrying those unredeemed Karma-s, is to be born. Karma alone decides narrative of subsequent embodiment.  

Karma-s similar in content and intent, enjoy an affinity between as well as among themselves, a factor of tremendous cosmic significance. Translated into action, it implies that a person destined to die of a particular disease, is very likely to be born to a person who too, is likely to succumb to the same disease or is already suffering from the same disease...imparting entirely a new twist to the concept of genetic/inherited diseases !!  

Similarly, an unredeemed Karma that is destined to allow the embodied one to be a musician, shall prompt that Atma to be born to a musician so that right, conducive ambience and facilities are available right at the word GO so as to redeem the Karma of becoming a musician. Then we take a grand-stand, "Oh ! musician father/mother, so musician offspring !!" You might have come across families wherein suicidal tendencies are dominant. Same explanation is valid there too. It is entirely Karma-s galore. Karma is absolutely impossible to be inherited through genetic code. In Srimadbhagvad Gita too, Vasudeva Sri Krsna is categorical in stating that Sattvika ones are born to Sattvika families, Rajasika ones to Rajasika families and Tamasika ones to Tamasika families so as to be able to work out their Prarabdha Karma-s effectively. However, state of mind on resurgence moments before demise enjoys an overriding privilege over Prarabdha Karma-s in deciding nature of subsequent embodiment. Example of Ajamila explains it explicitly who attained Moksa as he was uttering Narayana, Narayana at the time of death instead of being mortified owing to his stockpile of evil Karma-s even if he was calling his son whose name was Narayana. When King Pariksit pranked Rsi Samika by draping a dead serpent around his neck when he was immersed in deep Samadhi, his son Rsi Srungi cursed him of death by snake-bite within 7 days. Even extra-ordinary precautions could not save the King as Taksak serpent concealed in a fruit, bit him when released after the fruit was dissected exactly on 7^th day. 

Owing to the mysterious cosmic sport of Karma-s, Molecular Sciences brushed it under the carpet of ignorance as Genetic/Inherited !! Theory of Genetic Inheritance propounded by Molecular Biologists is not entirely perfect. I would refrain from commenting on the wisdom of members of the Swedish Committee that awarded so many Nobel Prizes in this discipline of so-called research. There is absolutely nothing like genetic-disease in the world. Nature of your mutable, gross existence through embodiment is decided by your Karma-s, not merely by the genetic code constituted of Nitrogenous bases.  

The enigmatic issue also has several other socio-political dimensions. In our Varna/Caste conscious society, it is often raised that ‘everybody is born a Sudra’, ‘Brhamana is not a Brhamana by birth but Sudra-s are Sudra-s by birth !!’ etc. On the basis of aforesaid analysis, one may easily conclude that one is born to Brhamana parents based on his/her Sattvika Karma-s rendered in past lives. Same is true with Ksatriya, Vaisya and Sudra too. However, much larger issue is that whether a Brhamana born to Brhamana parents continues to be Brhamanical till the end of his/her life. Anyone born to Brhamana parents is certainly a Brhamana by birth but his/her continuance as a Brhamana is subject to the condition the person continues with Sattvika Karma-s uninterruptedly. Same is valid with other three Varna-s too. So in a nutshell, a person may be born as Brhamana, Ksatriya, Vaisya or Sudra but made or unmade only later by the dint of Karma-s rendered and Guna-s pursued. Targeting only Brhamana-s for the purpose of humiliating them and decimation of Sanatana values by elements inimical to Sanatana Samskriti is grossly unfair and atrocious.
