HOW DOES CHITRAGUPTA MAINTAIN THE RECORD?
Let us take an example. In a remote, undeveloped tribal area, one may barter a kilogram of food grains for sugar, but in a developed country one has to pay in hard currency. In the material world, people do earn fame and name by making large contributions to charity, helping in popular welfare activities, joining religious or charitable institutions, delivering or listening to sermons, and participating in pilgrimages; but the “Domain of Chitragupta” does not accept this currency. The ledgers of this domain record only debits and credits of motives and emotional involvements in the performance of deeds and convert these into virtues and sins accordingly.
Upon being exhorted by his Divine Teacher Krishna, Arjun got millions killed in the war of Mahabharata. This great confrontation, during which the entire battlefield became littered with corpses, took place because Arjun agreed to take part in the war. In this way, Arjun could have been considered as a great sinner, but Chitragupta gave credit to his motive for waging the Mahabharata war. Arjun’s intentions were pious. He had fought only to re-establish the ‘Moral Order’ (Dharma Sthapana). Chitragupta’s ledger did not take into account the slain bodies of the dead soldiers. Physical objects have no relevance in the invisible realm.
Chitragupta simply ignored the number of toys of flesh and bones destroyed during the war. Does a king bother about the number of toys broken or the number of grains spilled? In this world billionaires are held in high regard but in the realm of Chitragupta they are paupers and nonentities. On the other hand a poor man of this world, if he is kind hearted, could be counted in the realm of Chitragupta amongst the king of kings. Whatever a man does, only his motives-good or bad are recorded in the corresponding account of Chitragupta. A public executioner, who, in course of duty, hangs a person condemned to death without any malice, could be considered a virtuous person by Chitragupta, Whereas a priest, who meticulously follows the rituals, but is secretly engaged in corrupt practices will be labelled as a sinner.
