Vivekananda Mailing List-10/24/02

[Guest guest]

All this is determined by Karma, work. No one can get anything unless

he earns it. This is an eternal law. We may sometimes think it is not

so, but in the long run we become convinced of it. A man may struggle

all his life for riches; he may cheat thousands, but he finds at last

that he did not deserve to become rich, and his life becomes a

trouble and a nuisance to him. We may go on accumulating things for

our physical enjoyment, but only what we earn is really ours. A fool

may buy all the books in the world, and they will be in his library;

but he will be able to read only those that he deserves to; and this

deserving is produced by Karma. Our Karma determines what we deserve

and what we can assimilate.
