The Law of Karma like the law of gravity prevails, though we do interfere with the law of gravity when we travel by plane or go up by elevators. Similarly if one understands the Law of Karma, one can create future happiness and present contentment by understanding scientifically its working.
Also just like the law of gravity does not operate beyond the world?s atmosphere, (it does in a way, but it gets smaller. It keeps the Universe running, and the solar systems dancing together the way they do) similarly with prayer and repentance, one enters that realm where all conflict between good and evil melt away under the bene-volent grace of the Supreme Law.
It is believed that Rama’s advent to the forest was to fulfill certain promises that he had made to his devotees.
When the people of Ayodhya learned that Sri Rama was leaving for the forest, they decided to follow him there.
They were not interested in living in a kingdom without Rama.
They left their belongings and all that they were attached to, for the hardships of the forest. However the people of Ayodhya fell asleep on the way and Rama went ahead without them.
This is symbolic. In the spiritual path one has to be awake all the time, not physically, but spiritually one must be constantly aware of one’s failings and weaknesses. If one falters, God just leaves.
We can thus conclude that One’s control over the Karma can make him stay awake Spiritually and follow God all the way.
