All these blows taken together are called Karma - work, action. Every

mental and physical blow that is given to the soul, by which, as it

were, fire is struck from it, and by which its own power and

knowledge are discovered, is Karma, this word being used in its

widest sense. Thus we are all doing Karma all the time. I am talking

to you: that is Karma. You are listening: that is Karma. We breathe:

that is Karma. We walk: Karma. Everything we do, physical or mental,

is Karma, and it leaves its marks on us.
