Tick - Tock?

[Guest guest]

Namaste fellow Sadhakas!,<br> May this post reach

you all in the best of heath and spirits. First of

all a big hello to you all from myself here in New

Zealand and a big thank you for the invitation to join

this Satsanga. I am most thankful for the chance to

learn and express the calling of truth.<br>Over the

last few days I have read postings on the concept of

Karma and Grace as shared by the group members. The

topic Karma often brings about confusion and

misinformation as we try to accept and comprehend the law of

cause and effect that sustains the Universe in which we

live. To helps us all understand Karma we must realize

that Karma is ruled by time its self, as Karma is the

actions of our past manifesting in the present. If we

were to see or read our Karma, then we would have an

insight in to our future life or lives. As the actions of

our past is trapped with in the boundaries of time,

then the only way to rise above Karma is to transcend

time itself. A simple tool to help us explain this is

the Grandfather clock. The Grandfather clock has a

pendulum that constantly swings back and forth to keep

time, as the pendulum swings to the left we all know

that it must swing to the right. In doing this the

pendulum is not only obeying the law of cause and affect

(Karma) it is also manifesting time itself. As long as

the clock is bound to the illusion of time, the

pendulum must swing back and forth. If the clock was to

stop manifesting time, then the action of the pendulum

would also stop. As unless there is time there is no

action or reaction. Hence it would be rising above the

reality of time that holds Karma firmly with in its grip.

.. How does one rise above time? Realize that time

is the realm of matter; the realm of illusion that

gives our ego the chance to interact with an external

stimulus through the sense organs. The Rishis have

provided us with different tools to help us realize this

truth, it is up to the individual to realize that they

are the masters of their own destiny. Accept the

actions of your past that has created your Karma, accept

it and let the focus be not on your past or your

future, but the present. Once we have realized and

accepted this, we can turn our focus to the search for

truth beyond birth, death, time and Grandfather

clocks.<br><br>Om Namah Shivaya!<br>In love.............Brenden
