Focusing only on suffering’s immediate cause makes us short-sighted focusing only on suffering’s re

All suffering. Thank you.

If we may consider other factors such as their overall cautiousness or overall immunity but is there anything that underlies such causes medical explanations of diseases are are correct but are they complete how can we explain medical mysteries where say people with no history of heart disease succumb to entirely unexpected heart attacks or how do we explain medical miracles where people with multiple heart problems live longer than their physicians to gain a proper understanding we also need to consider the remote cause of suffering which is our own past karma Gita Wisdom explains that we are souls we are eternal souls who transmigrate over many lifetimes and who carry into our present life our karma from our previous lives so what happens the specifics of the working of karma are often too intricate and difficult for the human mind to comprehend Bhagavata says gahana karmanogatihi the workings of karma are especially difficult to understand this means that what happens to us is an unpredictable combination of our past karma and our present karma that is our immediate cause and the remote cause if we focus only on the immediate cause we become short sighted just as a far sighted government while fighting a pandemic considers not only how specific people get infected but how the infecting virus enters and spreads across the country similarly far sighted people consider the remote cause of suffering if we become that understanding the far sighted, this far sighted vision can open various levels of understanding for us to deal with situations if we consider the if we consider only sufferings remote cause however we may become hard hearted we may downplay or displace people suffering present suffering by saying they are suffering their own the results of their own past deeds and we may neglect doing what we can and should do to offer them help by getting a balanced understanding of karma we can learn to focus neither on the immediate cause nor we can see both the immediate cause and the remote cause and focus not on anyone's karma present or past but on our dharma what is the right thing to do for us thank you.
