Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Shama, Good questions. That's for the inspiration. > is religion karmic? Everything we do creates karma. So how we practice religion will create karma for us. The first goal is: do good and create only good karma. > if something is karmic are we suppose to live in and through it or move to > something else in order to burn it.? We cannot avoid karma, we must do karma. Not even the most powerful Rishis can avoid their karma. If they are here, then they have karma to do. There are two ways to stop the karmic cycle: first we can do the karma without attachment and second we can perform sadhana and receive a boon of wisdom which makes the karma unnecessary. When we perform sadhana we are actually performing the karma, but because we do it with full awareness it has no affect on us and thus the cycle is broken. You can see that these two ways are actually the same, the first happens in the outer worlds and the second in the inner worlds. Each world a reflection of the other. > > do demons transform when exposed to tons of light or does it disturb them > to do more harm? It may seem that exposing darkness to light and disturbing the demons is a bad idea, but it is only through their exposure that we can see them for what they truly are, phantoms created by our fragmented and unhealthy minds. Guru (The light that illuminates darkness) breaks our bounds of karma by showing us our sins -- our demons -- and then with the love that only He can express tells us we are loved purely, totally, and without judgement. It is that love which frees us of the fear of these demons and renders them powerless. Krishna is such a guru. Shiva is such a Guru. Durga is such a guru. And Chandi, whoa, she is that Guru! > Does the cup of compassion transform the demons? Yes, you got it. Keep in mind it is not compassion for the demons, it is compassion for us, for the parts of our minds that accept Guru whole heartedly. Goddess Bless.
