Guest guest Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Greetings, When digesting the " non-actions " discussed, I am left wondering about how karma and sanskara (latent tendencies from past lives) fit into the picture. Do we try to put effort into creating good karma and erasing sanskara or are these also ill perceptions of the mind? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Your very question (the reason you ask this) is karma. The very reason I write a reply is karma. Karma always forces us to do something. As stated in the Gita, everbody is forced to act helplessly. Nothing to do about it. Gunas play themselves. So nobody is actually doing anything. We just imagine, there's a personal " I " , and take ownership of actions. That way we think we control something. > Greetings, > When digesting the " non-actions " discussed, I am > left wondering > about how karma and sanskara (latent tendencies from > past lives) fit > into the picture.
