Karma

[Guest guest]

I hope Tim is not calling my inquiry for dialogue about Karma on Harsha's

list "reactionary." Fact is it was carefully considered and worded. It

has not been responded to at all.

 

I do not believe in Karma. The important element of that statement is

"believe." It's the same for reincarnation. All of the traditional

explanations of these issues amount to "just words." I understand that

"Karma" is a concept about action and the fruits of action, about work and

it's result, about cause and effect. If one follows the word of the Avatar

Krishna, one ceases to act in view of possible results, and therefore Karma

loses its sting. There is simply action, in which actor, act, and

consequence are one.

 

When an emergency situation prevails, do you stop to consider the doctrines

and explanations of Karma? Or do you just act adequately to the need of

the moment, without thought of reward? The explanations arise when people

have too much time on their hands.

 

"Belief" is totally irrelevant. One believes when one has ulterior

motives. Motiveless, (n)one flows with Life, and the necessary work is

done by Life.
