HOW DOES CHITRAGUPTA MAINTAIN THE RECORD?
Let us now discuss the working of Chitragupta. Why and how this deity evaluates the deeds of a person and what are the yardsticks of this evaluation? We shall also find out how after physical death, the lines of fate drawn by Chitragupta determine a soul’s new incarnation in conditions of hell or heaven. In the foregoing discussion, the reader has been introduced to the concept that our sub-conscious mind, itself operates as the deity Chitragupta. It keeps a continuous micro-record of our good and evil deeds in a condensed form, like the recordings on a small compact disc, the details of our virtuous and sinful deeds registered microscopically and subtly on certain neurons on the inner chambers of mind. In this way the writings of Chitragupta could be regarded as shorthand notes taken by the divine stenographer, Chitragupta, for presentation as testimony for objective evaluation of the total span of our life.
We are aware that human mind works on two levels- one external and the other internal. The outer mind is analytical. It analyses the pros and cons, accepts and discards, takes decisions and changes resolutions. The inner mind, on the other hand, is like an innocent but resolute child. It neither accepts nor discards anything, but as the true faithful representative of the Divine, functions impartially toward divine justice. The external mind may think of escaping punishment by suppressing or overlooking the recordings of the lines of evil deeds and highlight only the virtuous deeds for reward. The inner mind (conscience is one of its constituents), on the other hand, works differently.
It takes decisions like an unbiased judge of highest integrity, who cannot be influenced by allurement, fear or vested interest. It is said that in each human being there co-exist a saint and a devil. You may consider the secret inner mind as a representative of divinity and the external mind, which is ever engaged in reasoning, rationalizing, deliberating, conspiring and hypocrisy, as a tool of the devil. The external mind may deceive the soul by justifying each and every action of a person. The inner-mind, on the contrary, is the flame of the soul and a projection of the Absolute Truth. It is, therefore, incapable of conceit and deceit and is innately calm and detached. That is why God has entrusted it with such crucial responsibility. For the common man, it is the deity Chitragupta. Being absolutely impartial, this deity has been given the high seat of Divine Judge. Like a secret service agent, this deity is all the time vigilantly shadowing a person and recording his action in its secret diary.
