Title: Karma
Post by: Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us? on Jan 14, 2013 01:58 am
the laws i think hold true exist not in a manuscript forged by a few single men but come directly from nature. the laws that govern this planet are the same for neighboring planets in our local universe. i can't talk like i know what karma is but it makes me think it is simply a word used to describe something like cause and effect.   

Yes Eric: cause and effect.

There r many different kinds of karma that r based on action/reaction or cause and effect as you have said.

There is the karma of individuals. The karma of nations etc. and there is 'good karma' and 'bad karma' and karma that is easy to remedy. There is karma that can be mitigated and there is karma that has to b endured. There r ways to burn off karma. The Kriya lessons in the SRF Lessons offer a way to burn off karma. Pujas r held to burn off karma.

There r planets that symbolize karma from the past. Saturn is such a planet. Although all the planets tell us of the way we have reacted to past events and how they r now manifesting Saturn is the father of karma and where it lies in the chart shows us where we r dealing with karmic issues and where we r serious about doing something about what we have created in the past.

There r people who burn off our karma. For instance it was said that Jesus came to pay for our sins. Let us explore the meaning of this word in a thread. The word comes from India and the science of religion that comes from that area so i have put it under a category associated with it's origins. Does anyone want to offer something about Karma?

For instance there are karmic reasons we came into this incarnation.

Eric came in with a predisposition to work out unconscious fears and factors that manifest in his life and he wants to understand them. Relationships come into his life that have a destined feel about them which help him in this process. There r many illuninations and sudden realizations that come to him that have a karmic background to them. He is learning about the inner stirrings and workings of his unconscious this life and more and more they become a means of self expression.

Serena has karma manifesting in her encounters with relationships. They become a serious element of her learning about herself. Even though they can b challenging at times relationships provide the territory for seeing herself more clearer and improving her own relationships becomes a life goal.

Prabhatsina also works out karma thru relationships and finds that often challenging encounters with people
close to him create trials for him. Men in his life, including his father seem to be a confronting area for him and getting along in close relationships can challenge his environmental settings.

Yoshi finds that encounters in groups and with friends challenges her. There values do not always coincide with hers so it makes her feel like an outsider. Her father and men who have a controling factor over her in her choice of friends and personal values will cause a reevaluation of personal values and her relationships to groups and friends. hopes, wishes and ideals for her life take on a serious tone.

Comet has responsibilities with her communication skills. She can feel inhibited at times because of some of the difficulties associated with communicating with others. If she has brothers and sisiters they too become a karmic lesson. Short travels and small communication turn out to be much more serious in nature this is because of the karmic factor she had brought to this life. She would like to communicate without all the hassles that come along with it.

Namaste2All finds his very surroundings filled with responsibilities and serious challenges. It is easy to feel abit imprisoned by all these constant reponsibilities to others and in his environment. If he is not careful this works out in his health as a reaction to not having enough free time to enjoy work out and just live with the freedom to do as he would like.

Kurtzie works out major karma thru health related issues and responsibilities in the vacinity where she moves about helping others. Her home and her relations with her brothers and sisters provide karmic lessons in her life. Her communications become serious when, for instance, she sees something like this on the board.  :) So i will keep it short and sweet.  ;D

Well folks i brought karma down to a personal level. i could have included more people but i put those i have seen on the forum lately. i might add and subtract some here and there. So you may want to look back. As i often do this with posts. Enjoy your life. That is why we are here;To enjoy the entertainment provided daily. Call me if you'd like. i enjoy hearing from all of you. See u at the movies.

Karma literally: action. That is the actions we have done in the past, the actions we are doing now and the actions we will do in the future. Or the lack of actions. We are influenced a lot by our environment. So we may act very differently in various ages we have lived and around many people that are around us. For instance we may have a lot of food so we do not have to spend much of our time searching for it or cultivating it like we might in another time and culture. If we have a strong antipathy towards something we will attract it to us.

Paramahansa Yogananda said that those people who hate other races will be born in the race they hate next life. As Jesus was abe to burn off the karma of others also Paramahansa Yogananda was said to work off the karma of others on his own body. He was in a wheel chair in the later part of his life working off the karma of others. Sometimes he would get up and walk though to show that he was not limited by the confines of the wheel chair and body.

Three Types of Karma

There is a delay between most of our actions and their results. Later on we are unable to make the connection. It may come back to us in a totally different person. The first type of karma can be taken care of quickly by an adjustment in our behavior or attitude. The second requires remedial action. For example if we get cancer. The third type of karma we can only endure and pray about.....

Some people have deposited a great amount of good deeds in their bank of karma. Life is cyclic. Death a period at the end of a sentence. Our karma will come to us regardless of our situation. Whether we are aware of it or not, we are not individual lands or islands. We are linked to a chain.

2nd step to liberation - start throwing rose petals in the air



I really like this saying.

Interestingly enough, most of my fears or insecurities are noticeable the more invested I am in a Relationship.
Maybe this is the Nature of Man. Suffering exist for a Reason I suppose. I would like to Free Myself from these Fears. Practicing Faith and placing Trust in something outside yourself is indeed a Difficult task. The more I grow and Realize the Responsible and Caring Mentality my parents demonstrate- The more I am at awe for their ability to Let Go and Trust- Despite all the bad things that can go wrong.

Why Worry about it though ? It is Difficult when you Love someone. I wonder if my Fears stem from a Past Life  or if it is the Lack of Earthly Experience in this life. It is something deep and my Present Life hasn't been the hardest for me to say I know where my Worries are coming from.

Hmm, Thank you. I've been curious lately. G2g for now.

The reason and response to poverty were amazingly delt with in the life of Jesus. Think of the joy of someone being told: 'Follow Me'. To be in the presence of an Avatar. I have! There are people who make you richer by being in their presence and deprived by their absence. Yet there was one who was told 'sell everything and give to the poor'. Now; let us ask the simple question who was really poor and who was really rich? So you see karma can be very deceptive. So it is plain to see that we cannot judge and understand karma by an outer display. I have been  around people who think they are rich but have found much more joy in the hearts of those who were not bounded and gagged by the entrapment of financial wealth. Of course there are exceptions to every situation. Such is the character of duality.

Yet often we are blessed to have such people caught in the spider web of finacial wealth leave us before we to have our very life blood sucked up by the black widow who catches us in her web.

 I had the good fortune (karma) to see Daya Mata several times and in person at the Mother Center. She said: 'It is so wonderful to be in love.' Having that presence of God with us and recognizing it makes our conditions appear very different. We are no longer in the grips of outward display that reinforces our existence because we become rich with being.

Karma is not a static phenomena but rather dynamic. There is the karma that comes to us and we simply make a few adjustments and it is taken care of. There is the karma that requires remedial action and there is karma that we must endure and pray about. There is also karma of nations and karma of our earth to name a few. Our understanding of concepts such as karma expands and changes as we evolve and we find ourselves in higher yugas.

So we see that many times in history nations have taken action to relieve the social inequalities that exist. This is something that Obama is making an effort to do. Yet there will always be those who resist the progress of time and evolution. They themselves are blocked in their own evolution. As we once had slavery we now see economic slavery. It is for us to recognize when the karma of a people is changing and the resistance to that change that thwarts progress.

Quote from: kingfisher111

Also, I wonder about what my happen in this life, because of things I've done in past lives, and even mistakes in this one...  Ram Dass says "our Karma is our Dharma," which makes sense to me.  I want to own all the things others have done to me, and own my responses to them, and learn from all of this, so I can make healthier decisions of who to trust and how much in the future, among other things I can learn from these Sacred Life Events.

111

yes what we experience now is indeed our karma/dharma. This idea of karma has many facets as I have already brought up in this thread: karma. It is important to realize that in various ways we can lessen our karma and burn it off. According to ParamahansaYogananda one kriya done properly burns off 1 year of karma and hastens evolution. I have also included some of Amma 's ideas on dealing with the cause/effect notion of karma. (See reply#4 Dec. 14 and reply#5 above; Dec. 30)

1st step to liberation - stop throwing / lofting stones in the air - they come back down !  (imagine lofting them real high so they come down further down the path, right as you walk under that path... but some thrown farther or closer down the path, no telling).

2nd step to liberation - start throwing rose petals in the air

(neat thing occurs when we evolve in these first steps)
the LAW of cause and effect
means eventually the stones from way back are diminished/exhausted (if we stop lobbing them).
BUT even more significant is that BEYOND LAW is DIVINE GRACE...
it is like an umbrella
it might act like a filter and protect us from big boulders or rocks, and only let little pebbles or rose petals thru...

When we we understand the notion that what comes around goes around we usually do what is in accordance with divine law to avoid the pitfalls of karma. It seems to me that most of us that are reading this post create karma because they are not able to always distinguish what choices are best for the situation. There are many situations in life that are grey in nature. For these situations we are effected and the people around us are whether we make a choice or do not. In this sense i do not find your analogy holds up Scott. Sometimes we hold heavy flowers and very light rocks. We are blinded and we do not know what to throw up on the air. If we throw nothing the law of karma effects us for taking no action when we can not stand still and wait any longer.

I keep realizing over and over again that when we are weighing things (should I do this, should I do that) we are caught in the mind. We are acting out of thinking and not awareness. We are divided beings. We have to live totally and when we do there can be no cause for regret. It is only in partial living that we have regret. Because we wanted to go one way and we went the other. We acted out of an idea instead of out of direct perception of what the moment calls for. When we try to impose our ideas, which are thought up and derive from the past, onto the present we are living an unmeditative life. No matter how good our intentions are, they still fail. It is because we are living in thought, concepts, judgment, in ideals, in fantasy, that the moment - THE one moment we have - which is this life in toto, that moment eludes us. It is always a little bit ahead of us or always a little bit behind. We are never here, now. If we try to correct our notions of past karma, we are still living in the past. If we try to create good karma for a future, we are caught in the future. This moment escapes us throughout life. The simplicity of awareness makes it elusive.

Your concepts are interesting/helpful Brock. Yet there are many things in life that require planning. We can be in the moment planning, however it is still for a future outcome.


Title: Karma in Dreams
Post by: Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us? on Aug 16, 2014 03:17 pm
Why does friendship and love often vanish? Why does love have the nasty habit of disappearing over nite? Paramahansa Yogananda has this observation;  "Do not poison friendship by demand and compulsion and wrong familiarity; or by discourtesy, or harsh speech, or mental cruelty." That is what he says not to do. What does he say to do? "Friendship consists in becoming increasingly useful in every way (materially and spiritually) to your friends. Therefore. keep unceasingly developing if you want to be a good friend, or to inspire friends or to receive others as your friends."  

Do we create karma when we dream? According to the SRF ministers we do. The karma is not as strong as in the 'waking state' but nevertheless we create karma when we are asleep so it is important to watch our thoughts. Last nite before I went to bed i was reading the above quote by Paramahansa Yogananda and I woke up to memories of helping a spiritual family in my dreams. When i was done i went to a SRF occasion and talked to the leader of the group. I asked her if I could help in some way. She told me that she had asked many friends but none could help and she needed help right away because she had to be somewhere and needed many things moved. So i told her I would be there.

It strikes me as interesting that just before I went to sleep I was reading about this. It shows that we can control our thoughts-even in our dreams-if we prompt ourselves to have kind and helpful dreams before sleep by concentrating on such thoughts before sleeping.

Are we dreaming now? Ramana Maharshi said the only difference between the waking and the dreaming state is that wakefulness lasts long and dreams are short. He said that we create a new body when we dream. As long as there is a sense of "I" hood there will be karma whether it is in this body or another body or another plane of consciousness.

We have all had the experience of knowing someone who acted as an enemy. Are such people karmic? Or are they just doing bad things? And how do we love such difficult souls?

What is the Karma of a soul? Basically it is the consequences the soul is confronted with in any given lifetime, resulting from actions initiated by that soul in prior life times. It is the result of responses by the individual in former incarnations to situations in a phenomenal realm usually involving the well being of other individuals. For instance, if the situation occurred where someone was mistreated by another the former may respond with hate anger or a grudge or that person might instead forgive and "learn to love thine enemies". Assuming the individual responded with hate and anger then the Karma of that individual would reap similar circumstances time and time again until the Soul learns to respond with compassion and forgiveness (Venus). As a point of interest the individual who initiated  the mistreatment would also set up a Karmic circumstance whereby that soul might be placed in similar situations with the roles now reversed in order to learn the same lesson of compassion. In both cases the Law of Retribution has been put into motion, consequently bringing forth new situations, new lessons, new means by which a Soul may yet evolve to the Wholeness of Spirit, depending upon how the soul responds to these new Karmic situations.

Insecure people, on the other hand, need to have someone out there, somewhere in their lives, that they haven't let go of.

Also learn to let go. Relationships come and go, we're human and they don't always work. Often, they never work. All things pass.

If you have unprocessed relationships, it's because you're still plugged in, or connected to someone, and they are not connected to you. They have hurt you, so there's a Karma there, but the Karma is always with yourself. It's not with the world. The Karma center is inside you. The only way you can make a peace with that person that hurt you, is to make a piece with yourself. When you do that it's clear, it's that simple.

Your article by someone else reads a bit like a treatise. Not that i do not find it interesting. Often people have long videos or things to read by others that require lots of time; which i do not have. But i am interested in your ideas. Perhaps it is because i believe we share some similar karma. But i would not classify it as bad karma.

First of all you use the word unprocessed related to relationships. i usually think of that word associated with food-not relationships. i can understand that we need to work on ourselves. That has always been the number one goal of spirituality. However karma does involve other people and our time spent with them. i do not believe you can isolate karma and say it does not involve those we have relationships with. Also many of us have many long term relationships not just one or two. i doubt that many people feel really secure about who they are. It may even be a danger since being secure may be associated with ego and feeling we know it all. Most of us have a long way to go to find that security that makes us know what our divine role is and how we are able to act on it at all times. That is why we are here: to learn about it.

We have been working on relationships for life times. Many of these relationships are beneficial so the karma involved is one of merit. There is no need to 'let them go' since the relationship is a benefit to both of them. Many relationships do work and those that do not often need work. Some people give up easily others recognize that if they do not work on the relationships they have and continue to jump to new ones they will have similar problems with relationships they begin that are new. i am not sure that i understand your point Jeff. But i do believe you are trying to say something. So i have taken the time to respond.

To totally forget someone we have spent a lot of time with is heartless. Since we are using the word processed here I will use another similar one. It is recycled. Some people recycle relationships like tin cans. But people are actually souls not processed or unprocessed foods. This is where we create karma if we are not careful to do things with love and act towards others in like manner. Certainly it is much easier  to let go of people who treat us bad yet we cannot always be sure of the reasoning and motives of everyone. It may take quite awhile to see clearly through such situations in our lives.

Someone may have been kind at one time but later turn mean on us. This behavior shows a lack of spiritual development which for me is the easiest sign to let such people go. Life and people are not so simple that we can think we know them and can just write them off. It often takes much understanding on our part and through that process much wisdom is gained.

Post by: SpiritImage on Jul 26, 2015 07:51 pm
Those were not my words, all was from the article, forgot to use quote marks. Also 'processed' makes a lot of sense to me, since I use it a lot in programming work.

I think I'm just different. I don't play the relationship game like everyone else. I've never felt a real attachment to anyone. I don't get really "close". Which I think now is a good thing, I don't want to be attached to anything. I don't even like my name, never have, something less to be attached to. I don't have a problem letting go of anything on this plane. Now I only want to be attached to God. But I'm not heartless. Far from it. Heck I still shed a tear when the nuns sing about Maria in the sound of music.

But you sort of make me feel I'm missing something. You may be a far more advanced being than I.

i just read about karma we create in this life-kriyamana karma and karma we have created in other lives-sanchita karma. It seems much more unlikely that we will create very difficult karma for ourselves in this life if we accept and follow the gurus guidance. For the most part we are working out karma from the distant past-kriyamana karma. We can see visible evidence of the Gurus presence when we have called on it and follow it. There is also Prarabdha karma. It is that portion of the past karma which is responsible for the present body we inhabit.

1. Sanchita Karmas are accumulated works

2. Prarabdha Karmas are ripe or fructuous (fructus) actions

3. Kriyamana or Agami Karmas are current works

i have attended services in the presence of Amma and SFR monastics that were helpful and designed to burn off karma. We can also practice techniques that are used to help eliminate our karma so that by the power of these techniques and the Gurus grace we do not have to go thru as much but can travel the path to enlightenment much faster.

Post by: Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us? on Jun 02, 2016 06:30 am
Have u noticed the karma u r experiencing is much different then those around u? It often seems as though those who r on the spiritual path r experiencing a very different type of karma that opens them up further towards spiritual evolution. Evolution is hastened by the practice of meditation and spiritual principles. Continued regular practice of spiritual techniques like meditation brings more and more soul awareness and a deepening awareness of the trappings of this material existence.

Why is it that I keep doing things that are not good for me? Amma says that when we get 🔥 by a fire we experience the immediate results of that burn. That is why we choose not to put our hand in fire again. Yet usually there is a delay between our actions and their results. That is why we  continue to do what is wrong for ourselves. That is y it important to always think twice before we talk and act. The results of our actions may take place much later and we experience them from different people then we instigated the action towards.

SI it is not always easy to make peace with ourselves. If we can forgive others perhaps we can also forgive ourselves for what we have made ourselves into from our past. Does that make sense? Thanks for the link and thoughts provided here! Seeing it in context sheds a bit more lite on the subject;

"The definition of Karma clear is not someone that is without Karma. It deals with being clear of past relationships and being able to process new ones. Those individuals that say, "Oh yes, we're divorced, we've recently broken up, and we're not in love anymore," are contradiction in terms. An unprocessed relationship is one that's not been dealt with or cleared out of one's life. Divorce or separation doesn't mean the relationship is over, because metaphysically speaking a relationship is bonded at many levels."

Some are just more attached than others.

Tell me SI is it attachment or is it that some people just never forget what they meant when they said 'i love you'. Some people know when they have recognized the soul in another. Some people refuse to dwell on the negativity in others. Some people see a purpose in all life's unfolding dramas. Some people accept that things have changed but will never relinquish the love they have had and keep it as a treasured memory they have shared with another soul. Though people and times change and we must all adjust to changing times and conditions; it is possible to still have that love for others and remain true and kind to that memory however lost and gone it may appear. Our human concept and understanding of love is constantly growing and expanding. We are a witness of love in all our encounters and if we remain loving and forgiving about ourselves and others and are receptive to changing our attitudes about love we can can actually be love ourselves.

If we live in terms of right and wrong we aren't free. It comes out of fear of consequences and desire for rewards of some kind.

i cannot respond for others but for me. i do not have a sense of right and wrong. Perhaps my karma is just much more complex then that. All opposites and contrasts that some people simplify and have in a code of ethics seem rather childish because there r so many exceptions and both parties r usually involved in karma. i am more influenced by vibration and how it affects me. i make choices based on consciousness. How my consciousness is being influenced by those that i draw in my sphere of karmic vibration. If their energy and choices seem to affect me adversely there is a trend away from that energy. If it reinforces love, kindness and spirituality i am attracted to it. Absolutes and dualistic thinking have become more of a thing of the past. Rewards and consequences seem as though they r out of place and represent the results of time. We can only make the best of now and let the results take care of themselves.

Some are just more attached than others.

Tell me SI is it attachment or is it that some people just never forget what they meant when they said 'i love you'. Some people know when they have recognized the soul in another. Some people refuse to dwell on the negativity in others. Some people see a purpose in all life's unfolding dramas. Some people accept that things have changed but will never relinquish the love they have had and keep it as a treasured memory they have shared with another soul. Though people and times change and we must all adjust to changing times and conditions; it is possible to still have that love for others and remain true and kind to that memory however lost and gone it may appear. Our human concept and understanding of love is constantly growing and expanding. We are a witness of love in all our encounters and if we remain loving and forgiving about ourselves and others and are receptive to changing our attitudes about love we can can actually be love ourselves.

It is what it is for different spirits.

i do not necessarily believe in karma or that is to say, i do not hold it in a regard that is to be praised and analyzed...


if it is what is is, then what does karma matter  ???

i don't think most people are trying to create an unpleasant vibration for themselves... ???

being unaware, is just a part of growing up.... ??? misery is normal ..... happiness is normal . .. . .

I agree dragonpie. It's pointless to think analyze karma.


The main point is that we get back what we put out many if not most of the 🌎 does not believe this. If karma is true then we definitely should be careful about our actions. If it is not our attitudes may b very different about our actions. When we analyze what we are receiving from others it gives a fair indication of what we have given out. In this sense we can improve ourselves having such an awareness.

Being careful about your actions in fear of karma is certainly an ego-centric activity. I doubt whether one needs to believe in karma at all. It seems to veer toward superstition. But I think anyone can be conscious of the effects of their actions on others and can see immediately how that action will create a harmful or painfull situation for oneself. It is not theoretical at that point, but observable. This is the only level of karma I really have patience to hear about, not the theoretical superstitious force that is for all we know just a hindu myth/superstition.

Why is it that I keep doing things that are not good for me? Amma says that when we get 🔥 by a fire we experience the immediate results of that burn. That is why we choose not to put our hand in fire again. Yet usually there is a delay between our actions and their results. That is why we  continue to do what is wrong for ourselves. That is y it is important to always think twice before we talk and act. The results of our actions may take place much later and we experience them from different people then we instigated the action towards.
Many people rape others kill others and torture others. They see 👀 what they r doing yet have no  conscious about the act that was done. However using your logic they have no karma. It is just a superstition. Rite? There may be no justice for the abused and mistreated and there is no reward for kindness and consideration. Karma is a myth. Rite? We must recognize somehow that what we do does have its effects on ourselves. Thus we experience karma. If u choose not to believe it.....it is your prerogative. You may believe or not believe as u wish.

If god punishes someone for it in their next life, it is not fair, because they would not remember what they were being punished for. They have no way to make a connection between what they apparently did wrong and the punishment therefore effectively making their punishment frivolous and absurd.

That form of karma suffers as many ethical problems as the one that sends a person to hell for eternity. Logically, no act done within time could need an eternal punishment. The theologians had to grapple with that one. Hindu theories suffer from the same types of logical absurdities as I just pointed out.

Karma seems to me to be cause and effect, in eastern garb with their holistic way of thinking which I agree with.

Q:What about people who don’t believe in karma?

A:Karma is a fundamental mechanism of our existence. It applies to everyone, regardless of belief. Anyone can understand the reasonableness of karma, and all great spiritual authorities have taught the principle of karma: that there are reactions to our actions. In the Bible, for example, we find the statement of Jesus Christ: “As you sow, so shall you reap.”http://www.krishna.com/law-karma

I am not sure if it really is that SI. It may b something within....   It tells u you've gotten off track. It is nothing personal just something to be aware of. The mind has many many circuitous pathways. Sometimes we find ourselves exercising mental gymnastics in a crossroad puzzle that amounts to a labyrinth of frustration. At a certain point that recognition dawns on us and we r irritable that we have wasted the time. In r practice there is a way to get out of the mind rather then led into it. When we recognize this we also recognize how many people in the world 🌎 live in their own heads.

Yes most of us do it including myself... but some people r so involved in it that it can give u  a head ache. When u experience that mental vibration coming from others at times u have to exercise detachment...free yourself of this heavy burden that ties us in knots of a mental quagmire.

I'm a jerk

Without forgiveness for ourselves and others we remain stuck and unable to move on. i've been there myself. My mind often tortures itself with repetitive thoughts. When this happens it is is difficult to act from a center of spontaneous kindness. Obsessive thought patterns are a result of dwelling on things morosely. That is what i am finding. For me it is important to break thru these thought patterns.

It is possible we can make our routine mechanical and like  drudgery. It doesn't hurt to explore different patterns from time to time otherwise we may react in ways that cause disruption in relationships. It may b an unconscious message to us and a wake ⏰ up call.

If a parent punishes a child without him knowing why he is being punished, it is called child abuse.

If a person punishes their pet when the pet can make no connection to what it did wrong, we want to call PETA.

Consider the fact that many times we have punished others and they did not realize what the punishment was for. There r people who call PETA and the authorities falsely accusing others for child abuse. They will also experience the results of their actions even though it may not b immediate or even in this life. When we have it happen to us it is much more likely that we would not want to do it to someone else. Those who do not believe in karma r much more likely to react by causing the same suffering to others. In fact people punish others knowingly and we often do not know why it is happening. It has happened many times in my life. However i never saw the results of their actions... only the irrational and unreasonable behavior they precipitated. As a matter of past recollection there were many times when people took actions on this forum that no one has any idea why they were inflicted on others and no justification could b found for their irrational behavior. Do we see punishment for such actions? It is not for you or me to mete out immediate punishment and it is certain that God has not. We r rather here to promote understanding. If we have God's grace that understanding is eventually forthcoming.

If a parent punishes a child or a pet that can make no connection with what it did wrong suddenly we are placed in situations where we too can make no connection with what has been done. Once a cop drove right in front of me as i was passing him and he drove into my lane and drove me off into the meridian. He told me he could have given me a ticket for such an action that i presumably incurred on him. i had to pay for the towing bill of my van stuck in the meridian. Now i could have thought there is no justice. But instead i recognize the law of karma and often see it in action. To have an immediate return of all our actions as they occur would set up creation quite a bit differently. There r just not enough cops around to see us in all our actions and even the ones that r-- they may not mete out justice but rather injustice. What does interest me is the fact that the return of actions perpetrated on a master is immediate. In this sense justice is satisfied so if we choose to be a Master your views will be honored.

Karma are lessons

That's the description of it that resonates with me at least

If a Saint or Master is incarnated, they are in a unique position to know that what happens to their ego or body is not the True Self

They have no more "lessons to learn", they are already in a state of Oneness, beyond Matter and Mind, which we might experience occasionally while meditating or during some other transcendental moment/state, briefly...


The lessons of Karma are our greatest gifts in a Life I think.  The times when everything is "exactly how we want it", only teaches us sleep and, probably, that there is always more the Mind will want...

I think what grasshopper is saying, is that all lessons eventually lead to a place where we know there are no lessons, only perfection.

Grasshopper has hopped to the top of a very high mountain, and though he lives among the blades of grass like the rest of us, he is trying to communicate the truth he saw up there.

The greatest Truths are perplexing paradoxes when you try to make sense of them, I think, or they are so simple, they leave nothing to be said.

Amma was deeply affected by the profound suffering she witnessed. According to Hinduism, the suffering of the individual is due to his or her own karma — the results of actions performed in the past. Amma accepted this concept, but she refused to accept it as a justification for inaction. Amma contemplated the principle of karma until she revealed an even more profound truth, asking a question she continues to ask each of us today. “If it is one man’s karma to suffer, isn’t it our dharma (duty) to help ease his suffering and pain?”

Karma is very different for different people. Some people never even find out the purpose of life. They are like the sleeping 💀 walking dead. It is best to not make comparisons but to carve out our own meaning and purpose in life.
