How is karma recorded? Why does it become the blueprint of life?

[Shri Praveen Nageswaran asked: Dear Sir, Namastey!! Please can You make me understand how karma is recorded. Why does it become the blueprint of life. Regards, Praveen]

Swami replied: - Karma or action is transformed into quality and based on the nature of karma, the quality is divided into good Sattvam and bad Rajas-Tamas. Sattvam is white, Rajas is red and Tamas is black. From the intensities of these three colors, qualities are estimated. From the intensities or quantities of these qualities, the nature and intensity of the action can be estimated. The result of this study is rewards and punishments. In fact, a supernatural mechanism is underlying above concept.
