Meditations: Fast Track Law of Karma
Posted by MadPole on January 22nd, 2007
It is quite amazing and wonderful, even though a lot of it quite easily explainable, how quickly and efficiently laws of karma, or whatever one wants to call it, have immediate and very direct effect on our lives when we are self-grasping, self-obsessed, focused on our needs and wants, when we are cruel, inconsiderate, arrogant and relating to needs and wants of others only through the prism of our Ego.
Luckily the same almost immediate and direct, but obviously opposite effect seems to take place when we are, trying to be considerate, compassionate, understanding towards needs and wants of others, when, even if we are unable to put others before us, at least we are able to give up, quash, subdue our self importance, demands and “rights to have”.
It is quite amazing and wonderful, even though a lot of it quite easily explainable, because those almost immediate effects are very practical positive or negative feedback loop, which enables us to experiment “in real time” with the laws of cause and effect.
It is quite amazing and wonderful, even though a lot of it quite easily explainable, because those almost immediate effects give us very little margin for doubt and mental speculation: it becomes very obvious, very clear how our behaviour and attitude directly affects our lives. And hence we are in position to very quickly realize that we don’t have a choice, that if we want our lives and our world to be a nice and loving and kind place to live in…. there is only one, only one way to go about it.
