QUOTES ON KARMA FROM THE SIMPLE TO MORE ABSTRACT! QUOTES ON KARMA –UNDERSTANDING
HOW ‘KARMA’ STARTS- GOING BEYOND KARMA
Karma is not about justice, it is about learning/experiencing;
karma is not handed out, it is your choice; karma is not with
another, but with
self! Karma is not about right balancing wrong but about effecting a change in thought patterns/our
frequency/ energy field!
Do not get bogged down
with good and bad karma! Good karma is where our beliefs/frequencies are in
tandem with our highest potentials, thereby attracting ‘positive effects’ due
to the law of attraction! There is no one paying us back or a higher authority
rewarding us!! Similarly Negative karma is not retribution or punishment, but
those limiting beliefs/frequencies that you are yet to align with their higher
potential, attracting likewise effects- that you will thus choose to move away
from! There is no judgment implied in
cause and effect. It is pure physics and the laws of energy!
Karma’s are merely Self-created opportunities through which you
experience your beliefs/frequencies and thereby expand them. It is not the bugaboo we make it out
to be- there are no celestial accountants keeping track: there are no
defaulters who need to be punished or exemplary individuals who need to be
rewarded! Neither is anything being judged, for there is no celestial jury
handing out verdicts.
Karma is an opportunity to reflect on what is within; a
mirror if you will, showing you on the outside what you need to move away from
within, and what is working just fine! This is why your world is your mirror
and why your ancients named your experience karma: which only means action! It
is merely the experience of using what is easily observable - action and what
it creates- to expand and align your inner self!
In the human realm, you view and
experience your thoughts through their externalized physical counterparts -
which is action - and all that it creates: your relationships, events and
things. This is why your world is your mirror- because you as spirit chose
to explore experience and expand self through this outer mirror of
relationships and life and world events! It is part of your game plan or
journey as humanity! And this is why your ancients named your exploration,
learning and experience- karma! For karma means action! And actions imply their
result! And thus karma at its deepest only means using what is tangibly
and physically observable-the action and what it creates- to view, expand and
realign your consciousness!
Many of you consider karma a burden…
something that you need to finish or ‘get over’ in order ‘to progress’! But
my dears, we would like to make you understand that karma IS the progress!
It may help you if you replace the word karma, and all its pre-conceived
notions, with the words learning, knowing, and growing. How can
you ‘finish’ learning knowing growing! It is your reason to Be!
There is no cause for alarm, as karma is a gift! A divine
opportunity to disempower your limitations and expand self back to Divine Self!
Karma is thus the process of lifting the
veils!
Understand what is cause and effect: The cause is the belief behind
your action! The effect is therefore of the belief behind the action! So there
is cause and effect, but the cause and effect of your beliefs. You have spent life times thinking
the cause and effect is of your deeds and completely missed the interlinking
Beliefs, which is the missing link, and what you are now ready to focus on!
Karma was viewed largely in terms of
cause and effect of your actions as humanity needed to accept responsibility
for their ‘actions’ as a step towards taking ‘responsibility’ for their thoughts
…because as you move beyond the physical experience… into finer and what you call higher dimensions… thought
create instantly and you need to have mastered them. Incase all this talk of
higher dimensions and finer mediums of existence makes any of you think
humanity is inferior in any way let us hasten to correct you. You need a certain proficiency of
consciousness, a deep commitment to its expansion and love for the game of Self
exploration to ‘qualify” for the physical realm! Indeed very much like
the Master programs many of you partake in, in your many specialized
universities! They do not make you feel inferior surely? Like wise, your
physical dimension is one of the finest universal universities for Masterhood!
And karma is its course material… visible effects that help you expand your
consciousness towards Mastery! Visible tools to help you realign with the love,
power, and abundance that you already are!
Cause and effect when entered into
deeply shows us that we are the cause not some outside or ‘other’, ‘fate’, or
‘god’. We can call this ‘cause’ our thinking, feeling, focus, which
reflects as outer effects; or we can view it as our energy field which attracts
like-wise effects; or we can call it karma - what we have chosen to explore,
experience and expand and thus meet as outer effects.
We often think it’s we who choose our after lives and rebirths, but more
accurately it is not we the personality, but our energy field and its
vibrations, that 'choose'/attract/create the experiences! Thus our karma is
actually our energy field- our frequencies - which attracts the requisite
experiences so that we may expand/purify our energy field/frequencies back to
becoming one with the universal grid/energy field! Thus tantra is the path of
expanding our personal grid/weave back to the universal grid/weave!
As we expand
our consciousness… as we live in non judgment, forgiveness, witnessing etc…. we
are balancing out our karma… not adding anything new…! As we expand our consciousness back to
universal consciousness we transcend karma…
as personal consciousness dissolves into its universal impersonal state there
is no separate self left to track his separate chain of cause and effect! In
this you enter the causeless ness of the cosmic play!
Realization... Enlightenment....is the awakening from the delusion of personal karma
Witnessing=no personal self; no
personal self=no karma! Also no personal self= Universal Self, and as
universal self there is no other...so automatically when there is no 'other'
there is no blame guilt judgment etc= thus no karma! Thus its a process
within...first we move into no one other than i... so if no 'others' then no
karma with anyone...so in this awareness… there happens a big sweep of all so
called karma of seeming past/or current lives with seeming others! Then we move
into there is no self... so then if no self then what cause and effect for
self...so again in this awareness big sweeping away of seeming karma!
I had once gone to a Buddhist temple and
my niece and i were turning the wheel they have in their temples….and she
asked me what this was and to keep it simple I
told her it was the wheel of samsara-cause and effect- with good actions
we get a better and better turn of the wheel. She thought for a moment and then
said: but there must be some magic door out of this
wheel na? I was touched by her keen
perception…..and explained to her the magic door of non doership….moving beyond
personal identity...and the gnosis that no self = no karma = the magic door!
Moksha means liberation from the wheel of samsara- from the cycle of life and death and rebirth.
Thus when we awaken from the dream/maya of personal identity we realize we are
not the self we thought we are and in that are we liberated from selves cause
and effect- from karma!
Past lives…reincarnation …karma are also
transcended at some point! When we
move from self to Self… from personal doership to the cosmic play…from Maya to
beyond it…then past lives have no hold/interest on us! But till then they play
a vital role! When we play a game, say ludo or monopoly, we are bound to its
rules.- and to going around the board in circles-...but once the game is over
all that was only part of the game ...it doesn’t follow us into our real
lives…!. In our real life the games rules don’t exist! In the same manner, as
long as we are part of the game of ignorance/separation/maya/...the cosmic
board game... concepts like karma and reincarnation etc are part of the
illusory experience...but have no validity in the larger reality!
Of course, just like while playing monopoly/ludo... we can either be wholly
caught up in it and forget our 'real selves 'temporarily...or we can master the
art of playing wholly yet play in the equanimity and knowledge that its only a
game and its rules don’t bind us in reality... we don’t have to throw a six to
move out of our homes in real life… like we have to do in ludo! In the same way
we can, even while playing the game of ignorance, become witness...and thus
start to move beyond concepts like karma /reincarnation etc...!
As we travel along the path and become
aware that we are Consciousness/God/Universe we begin to wonder about the origin
of ‘Karma’! The questions arise: If you, me, life, existence is all
‘God/‘Creator /Consciousness’ experiencing Self - then how does karma start? If
I am God, how did I get karma? If all is cosmic play, where does karma fit in?
And simply put for today: The ‘big bang’…when the cosmic game ‘began’ (in linear terms)… is the point
of origin of ‘karma’ (or what we call ‘karma’). Call it the ‘beginning’ of the
game of separation from & ignorance of All that I Am…or call it the
original cause of all effect! Either way, the Whole / ‘God’ /‘Creator
Consciousness’ willfully enters into this experience/exploration of Self and individuates
into infinite aspects/selves with each self
(willfully) being the tool- a finely honed point of focus- to explore a
certain range of All That Is. In that, automatically becoming aware &
disempowering in that range, of all that it is not! And thus from the moment we
individuate towards this gamut of exploration, we have encoded within us- all
that ‘we’ have chosen to experience, explore, expand and- disempower- and that
becomes 'our' original karma (in the way we view karma) - comprising of -or
stored in- our causal bodies- or what we call sanchit karma! Thus is your
causal body the original ‘cause’ body-
all that ‘you’ -as a finely honed point of focus of the whole for the
whole - have chosen to experience explore and expand…or what the Whole has
chosen to explore experience expand
through a you!
Thus does ‘your’ karma originate from the point of origin! In each life- ‘you’
as the whole for the whole choose a portion to experience, explore expand - and
disempower! Till all that you the whole chose to experience /expand/disempower
thru a 'you' is fulfilled...and thus do 'you' find yourself moving beyond the
game...beyond personal consciousness...as there is no individuated you
left...there is the realization it was never 'your' karma but the cosmic play.!
Thus is there no judgment against any 'karma'...not even the seemingly negative
karma – as that’s what the whole chose to disempower through a you! It is all
an experience, exploration of the ‘The Whole’ - ‘God’ – ‘Consciousness. It’s
truly not 'yours' in the personal sense- you are like a filter/probe/vehicle/
of the whole for the whole!
At its deepest karma is just that
part of script of the play that you as an actor play out as per your role!
Karma is ‘stored’ in energy terms.
Everyone has a personal energy field- and 'your' sum total of consciousness
makes up 'your' personal energy field- indeed your energy field is nothing but
'your' consciousness viewed in terms of energies vibrating at different
frequencies. Thus, simply put of course, your energy field is a weave of energy
strands, vibrating to different frequencies… reflecting different aspects of
your individuated consciousness (and making up your different energy bodies....
called the physical, the etheric, the emotional/astral and the
mental body). Having understood this it becomes easier to understand that
those energies, those aspects of your consciousness, those beliefs, those
attributes of your nature - that have merged back with the Whole; those
vibrations that are in sync with their highest potentials within the Cosmos
-with their original nature- Dharma; those units of consciousness which have
thus finished their part in the game of separation … are what you call balanced
karma! Indeed when you take it deeper... as those vibrations of ‘you’ the
individuation, become one with the ‘universe’, they do not remain 'separate' …
and thus do we say that karma is ‘complete/finished’!
There is really no linear time in the larger picture; thus all of this is
happening simultaneously through whom you call your ‘past present future’
selves. As each current self, through his/ her prarabd aligns some of their ~~~
yet unaligned consciousness with the Whole... it goes from ‘your’ sanchit
karma! And as whom you may call a past or future self does the same- it goes
from ‘your’ sanchit karma!! Thus the point of power is always in the Now!
SANCHIT KARMA - Simply put
sanchit karma is your sum total of balance karma from all your lives. This is stored in your causal body (the
soul); and it is from this accumulated store house of your karma’s- that you
choose a portion to explore, experience, expand, disempower in every current
life. Thus sanchit karma operates
through your prarabd karma. However when viewed deeper, 'your'
Sanchit Karma is ‘your’ reason to Be… indeed your purpose as an unique
individuation of the Whole. It stores or describes that portion of the Whole
that ‘you’ have chosen to explore experience, expand, and disempower for the
whole! Or that experience of Itself, that the Whole as individuated as ‘you’,
for! Thus there is no judgment against any seemingly negative sanchit karma- it
is the role you as the Whole are playing for the Whole- towards its Self
exploration.
SANCHIT KARMA - If viewed from angle sanchit karma is that part of the game of
separation... of Dharma-Adharma… that ‘you’ as the individuation have chosen to
play as the Whole for the Whole! Dharma at its deepest refers the inherent
nature of… God/Self … the Cosmos/ Universe- thus it refers to the laws of the
universe! Adharma is only that which is not in sync with That I Am! And indeed
it’s something I/Self/ God choose to create…and enter into… towards ‘All That
Is’ paradoxically becoming more! Thus in deeper terms karma is the ‘battle’
between dharma and adharma… not battle as in war… but the battle within play…
that creator willfully enters into…!
PRARABD KARMA: Simply put this refers to
that portion of your sum total (sanchit) karma that you choose to come with…work
out… experience, expand or disempower in any current life. This is
sometimes referred to as your blueprint or your current life purposes. Together
with Sanchit, it is also referred to as your destiny!
PRARABD KARMA: When you take it
deeper, you understand that your sanchit operates through your prarabd karma
and your prarabd ‘operates’ through your ‘sanskars’. There is no English
word which does full justice to the word sanskars- so what it really means is
your sum consciousness… your mind scape… your energy field… that that you are
born with. In day- to -day terms it
refers to your core beliefs, your latent (subconscious) impressions, the
grooves -pathways within your mind and your desires and fears...Thus you come
encoded with your sanskars … sum consciousness… to experience it, and through
that, to enhance & expand certain aspects and disempower & move away
from others! So yes, you come with certain weaknesses! What you may refer to as
negative karma but are really only limited beliefs you have willfully come with
in order to disempower them through this life experience! And you come with
adequate strengths, what you call positive karma to enable and support this!
PRARABD KARMA: Your personality is also part of your prarabd! Indeed
you choose to be born at a certain time, date and year - as that time, date and
year bestows upon you certain qualities and opportunities and challenges! You
need some of these qualities towards your life plans... as strengths to
enable you and others you have chosen towards bringing into balance. So it’s
quite in reverse- you are not what you are due to your planets, zodiac sign,
numbers etc but who you already are chooses that birth chart… as a door into
having those qualities , opportunities and challenges that you require towards
you prarabd- your current life plan!
PRARABD KARMA - Prarabd also operates
through your desires and fears- because as a soul you know that once you
are born you enter the game- don the veils-forget all of this! Thus your
desires are your soul reminders to yourself as to what to enter into…explore …
towards your ‘prarabd karma’; as are your fears –aspects- you have chosen to
face and disempower! As your prarabd encompasses a life time- you have within
it different schedules to engage in different parts of your prarabd (current
life time plan) and that is why your desires change through the years. Indeed
that all famous chemistry between mates is also a soul induced trigger towards
getting you together with whom you need to enter into relationship as per your
prarabd!
PRARABD KARMA - In energy terms you are encoded with these qualities, desires,
fears …so that you may play them out- engage in your prarabd- your current life
plan! Your energy field holds its requisite
(causes) which you hope to align through this life. In physical terms
some aspects come through your genes, some through the environment you are born
into. This is why the ancients spoke about the first seven years of a child’s life
as being important for their sanskars- as this is actually when you are setting
up the props of your life plan! So whatever sum consciousness you have come
with (brought from your sanchit) is grooved into your current mind/manas as
brain waves (causes) in these formative years when your sense of self is less
and ‘you’ are open to being the chalice for your true soul purpose! Even whatever limited beliefs (karma) you
have chosen to explore are actually grooved into your current mindscape at this
time so you may then play them out (through their effects!) For example and
very very simply put to give the gist
-if you have chosen to move away from core feelings of lack- you may experience
lack in your childhood environment so that it becomes something you then work
out or keep experiencing till you move away from it ; if you have chosen to work on self love you
may be born to parents who fight, or don’t love you… or ….the ways are many… so that you then
operate from that lack of self love- experience its results in your physical
life- maybe failed relationships or inability to marry etc …till you align the
~~~~ lack of self-love! No wonder brain waves are called waves ~~~~~ as they
are literally that~~~ protruding out from pure consciousness!
KRIYAMAN KARMA refers to your current
karma- thus to your current actions, and
effects. Your sum consciousness in every NOW is your Kriyaman karma! And
thus this Kriyaman karma- your sum consciousness in the Now- is what will
reflect outside as the people, events things you call your life; it is the
energy field that will attract like wise! So, from your sanchit karma -
from that store of ~~~waves which you have chosen to experience,
expand and align back with the cosmos; or that portion of the game of
adhrama/separation that you have chosen
to play out- you choose a certain portion for each life as your prarabd.
From this, in your current life, you sometimes your give into rather than move
out of your limited beliefs and move further away from dharma to adharma and
sometimes you disempower limited beliefs and expand that aspect of your
consciousness to merge back with the whole… either way ….your sum consciousness
in every NOW is your Kriyaman karma!
KRIYAMAN KARMA - Kriyaman karma’s
importance is that it is the only point in the karmic ‘chain of cause and
effect’ that ‘you’ can affect. It is
indeed the point of power, from where ‘you’ reduce/align your sanchit and
finish/balance your prarabd!!
And how? Through the different paths of ‘yoga’- for yoga
means to reunite… realign! Thus each path is a way to reunite self to cosmos,
to realign the individuated waves of
adhrama back to the perfectly aligned larger sea of consciousness! Thus are the
paths of yoga … paths to karmic resolution! In a deeper sense, paths towards
expansion of your consciousness back to the Whole that you are! Each path plays its role towards
impacting your Kriyaman karma (your causes/beliefs /consciousness… their
actions… and thus effects…life beautiful life). None is ‘better’ than the
other, and you are drawn to paths you require in the Now! Indeed the paths you
‘choose’ will be part of your prarabd!
AGAMI KARMA - Agami Karma refers to what is commonly called your ‘future karma’! Simply
put it refers to the direction you are heading in- what your consciousness is
developing into - how you are evolving! However, while agami karma refers to
‘future karma’- do understand that this ‘future’ karma is being made or shaped
in the Now!
AGAMI KARMA - As you are what your
consciousness is – and an expanding consciousness - ‘good’ agami karma -
will lead to you coming with smoother blueprints(life plans) and enhanced life
experiences; and a stagnant or depleting consciousness – ‘negative’ agami karma - will likewise lead to the need
for challenging blueprints and their learning experiences. The best way to enable positive agami karma is
two pronged: to move away from
ignorance, separation and it’s limiting beliefs and separative consciousness;
and to expand your mind, energy field, and sum consciousness. Again, this can
be done through many routes, be it gyan, bhakti, kriya or karma yoga.
Meditation enables this geometrically, because meditation literally soaks your
subconscious mind with higher and finer energies… and in that helps you release
old worn out patterns of thinking… and thus you are literally creating positive
agami karma –a finer energy field and an expanded consciousness through it.
KARMIC CYCLE - If viewed as a cycle: from
our sanchit karma (the original storehouse) we choose our (current life)
prarabd karma; this is impacted by our Kriyaman karma (current thoughts,
feelings and actions) and thus we shape our agami karma (future consciousness).
Agami karma thus works in two ways- if we are heading towards a limiting and
stagnant future consciousness-it becomes part of our sanchit which we then have
to work out at some point! If however our consciousness is expanding back to
its original pristine state - we first begin to experience it’s commiserate
finer and higher life experiences… till the point our agami is more and more in
tandem with pure consciousness! When this occurs- our consciousness becoming
one with universal consciousness- there is no sanchit left to work or play out-
and our samsara wheel draws closer and closer to the finale! At deeper levels,
agami karma is about humanity moving from adharma to dharma…from separation
back to source; it’s what is currently referred to as the ascension of
humanity!
