(RV
5.85.8)
yad-vā ghā satyam-uta yanna vidma,
sarvā tā vi şhya shithireva
Our sin against the truth and
our sin by ignorance, all these clear away like loosened things.
Sin, movement against the law of the being, may be with full
knowledge of what one is doing or in ignorance of the wrong nature
of the movement. In either case the Karma is forged and the
results suffered. Yet, where one acts contrary to the law of
truth, consciously, the results are particularly detrimental to
the growth of the soul within. A thick crust of darkness gathers
round the soul and prevents its light from coming through. But in
the case of actions in ignorance, the reactions are mostly on the
surface and do not go deep.
Both the types of sin are held up before God Varuna, the Lord of
Purity so that he may first loosen these impurities from the being
of the seeker and then cut them asunder.
