Kamma-vipāka
Certain individuals are more susceptible to the “kamma-vipāka” factors, while others are not. This begs the question, “Why do bad people prosper in life?” The concept of fairness is deeply embedded in human behaviour, which is why people strive to act fairly. However, the reality is that the world is not fair. In Buddhism, kamma refers to volitional action, but by definition, it means action. To comprehend kamma and its effects (kamma-vipāka), it is necessary to comprehend the laws of movement. Let us consider Newton’s laws of motion as shown below: -
1st Law Of Motion
Every object in a coherent state of motion tends to remain in this state of movement unless an external force is applied.
2nd Law Of Motion
It has to do with the relationship between the mass of an object, its acceleration, and the applied force. Under this law, the direction of the force vector is identical to the direction of the acceleration vector.
3rd Law Of Motion
Every action leads to an equal and opposing reaction.
In a nutshell, Newton’s third law of motion would fall into constant motion. This means that we can assume that the acting factor is the same as the reacting factor. However, the opposing forces would indicate a single harmonising mechanism under a variable motion, as shown below: -
Scenario 1 - Acceleration
When the acting factor accelerates, the relative reacting factor decelerates: -
Force A acting ↑ Force A reacting ↓
For example, a twin flies off in a spaceship travelling near the speed of light, and comes back to find out her twin is a lot older. That’s because the twin inside the spaceship would meet the deceleration process of becoming. It describes time dilation based on Einstein’s special theory of relativity.
Scenario 2 - Deceleration
When the acting factor decelerates, the relative reacting factor accelerates: -
Force A acting ↓ Force A reacting ↑
For example, if the speed of the car drops, it is decelerating; mathematically, it is an acceleration in the opposite direction to that of motion and vice versa. This scenario also explains why the process of recovering people would accelerate after taking a cool vacation.
Generally speaking, human thoughts are cosmic waves of energy that pervade all time and space, and it is the most powerful vibration that can attract what is desired or wished for. This means we attract what we send (like draws like) but the timeline for the result always depends on the performer’s skills.
In the present dynamism, a higher vibration frequency would slow down the process of becoming and a lower vibration frequency would accelerate the process of becoming. In light of this, individuals with higher mental frequencies tend to broadcast a kamma at a slower pace than those with lower mental frequencies. This scenario sheds light on why the payback time differs between individuals. To sum up, if you're more sensitive to the “kamma-vipāka” factors, that means you were born with higher mental frequencies, which is a quicker path to spiritual liberation.
