‘The ultimate rule that governs all beings is that the effects of one’s karma have to be borne by every individual. The wise, having internalised this truth, will always maintain equanimity and remain indifferent to joy or sorrow. In a way all actions of the jivas are controlled by their past karma just as the dance movements of puppet dolls depend on the way the actors pull the strings. All beings are bound by karma but karma is an insentient vastu. Likewise the jiva has no idea of his karma and his awareness of his past is limited.
