KARMA SUM UP
The last many blogs have been on the law of Karma. So how can we sum them all up in a few paragraphs.
Joy and happiness are determined by many factors and the underlying catalyst for joy is gratitude. In my surgical practice I frequently find patients who in spite of all the odds against them and good health, (which would be a prerequisite for me) are able to have sincere gratitude for their lot. Furthermore, this attitude is accompanied by a joyful disposition which is astonishing. I used to say that gratitude was the ultimate form of prayer until someone corrected me by saying; "its the only form of prayer!"
Unless a request made in prayer serves the greater good it does not bring the Creator the same joy as prayers of gratitude done without any agenda.
The Ancestors teach;
"we will be given strength in weakness, comfort in distress..."

Gratitude and Joy occur when we have meaning in our lives which occurs when we are in line with
Our true destiny and mission in life.
which inevitably must have something to do with
Doing service for the planet.
By doing this with passion and for its own sake we are able to Subordinate ego to our Higher Self.
This does not have to be our full time occupation - we can keep our day job and pay the rent.
At the same time
We should strive to do no harm
& correct injustice.
& correct injustice.
to any of the Beings; Talking, Wild, Growing or Still.
When we do all of the above we are aligning our Karma with a higher vibration.

The ultimate catalyst for our karma is
Love & understanding that
we are all one though not the same
we are all one though not the same
So although its difficult to become a perfected soul - the principles are simple. Still ...
"Kabir says, friend there are very few who find the way."
"Kabir says, friend there are very few who find the way."
We are all (except the truly evil ones) heading for spiritual perfection on the long journey of Samsara, the relentless wheel of reincarnation where we keep coming back again and again until we earn a Causal vibration. The key to this is a dedicated spiritual practice along with spiritual awareness. The rules of Karma differ strikingly to the principles on which our "civilization" developed and continues to "develop."
Though difficult to carry out, adherence to them does bring true equanimity.
