Thus, no action to harm another can be justified by the assumption that to be harmed is the other's karma. I see in this statement little basis for< Tony's Reply: Actually what I was saying was that all this harm was in illusion and was karmic, and yes the perpetrators are also incurring more karma, is that not what keeps the 'dream of relativity', going? I was not supporting 'inaction' to help people, or blaming them. As Sankara said It is real for you, whilst you are in it. One has to deal with it, even if one is detached from one's actions or in Nishkarma karma. At a higher level all is One Nirguna Brahman and 'Good', and the appearance of good doers and evil doers is just a play of the gunas and opposites, at this dream level. I'm sorry if I didn't express myself so well, I am not a university graduate so the mechanics of my style are probably wanting. Thank you for the help. Love and Sai Ram, Tony. === http://members.xoom.com/aoclery/ Keep on truckin-Chant the Gayatri! "God is formless.
