Karma does not make us sin. It makes us suffer or enjoy from our material

desires. The desire is first - it is the answer to the proverbial chicken or

the egg question. The karma we must suffer or enjoy. The desire we can stop

upon gradually slowing the ever-flowing river of desires into the heart. Daiva

varnasrama-dharma is the institution created by the Supreme Lord for humans to

stem the flow of desires.

 

We should take full advantage.

I would agree with you prabhu.I have heard some horror stories of devotees

who were very indifferent to others sufferings rationalising that "It's just

your bad karmic reactions prabhu".And that's why we have to not only

understand the law of karma and be philosophically adept but be sensitive

and personal human beings like Prabhupada was.

He gave us plenty of philosophy,was very demanding of us but he touched our

hearts with his kindness.
