WHAT IS THE KARMA
The word karma in Sanskrit means action, reason why all action is karma, and from the metaphysical point of view, the karma is also the consequence of the carried out actions, and karma is also the desire to possess a thing. The same act of deciding the creation is karma, for that reason the karma is the nature of God, of the Divine Will, and the karma that is executed in consonance with Its will, becomes part of God.
I write this like as a help for all those that are looking for the supreme goal of all human being... that it is the liberation of the pain, and the achievement of the blessedness.
The one that kills by knife it is necessary that by knife dies says the Apocalypse, this means that we should receive the same that we have given.
Every time that something happens to us, we must think that that is our karma, that is to say that the karma is the reason of the ugly side of the life, but also of the pleasant side, or said in other way, what happens to us is what we deserve, based on what we have sowed in this life, and in the previous ones.
Of course that when pleasant things happen to us, we are always willing to believe that we deserve them, and when they are unpleasant, we usually think that that is unjust, or that it is time to stop harvesting unpleasant consequences. But this it is only the distorted vision of someone that is not qualified to understand that we are always responsible for what happens to us, although the cause might rest in past lives.
KARMA MUST BE PAID
Karma must be lived, karma must be paid in order to burn it. But we can also liberate ourselves from its consequences..
All that has thought that the goals of pleasure that the society provides us, are only transitory, and that at the end they always leave us with hunger for something more. All those that are anguished by fear, the pain and the apparent injustices that the world shows us day by day, can find in this teaching the light and the peace that they need.
The applicant to the liberation should learn how to yearn without despairing, and he should not expect an immediate success, but rather his actions should be crowned by the patience.
Whichever confuses his physical body with his real Being, it is caught by the suffering and the necessities of the material world, and it will need to reincarnate life in life, until he learns how to overcome this essential limitation, until a point where he learns how to wake up of the Mayan's illusion as I teach in my Miracles CD (it´s in spanish)
The common man thinks that the soul and the life after the life, are something illusory or at least of doubtful existence, while he believes that the illusory material world is the only certain thing. But the material world is illusory, because our true Being is our spiritual being that only transitorily squatter a physical body, during all the necessary incarnations, until we can can carry out our superior Self.
Our inability to distinguish between what is real and what is not, is what submerges us in the ocean of pain, and when we learn how to distinguish it we liberate ourselves of all grief.
KARMA SALVATION
The mundane glory is obtained by the activity and the human effort, it is obtained with the karma. But the karma salvation is obtained with God's grace.
The man generally looks only for happiness, and he escapes from the pain and the misfortune, whom he considers his enemies, but this is a serious mistake.
When we are happy, we are worried by the risk of losing the happiness, and at the same time the happiness makes that we forget our obligations like human beings, crawling toward the selfishness.
But affliction leads to the inquiry, to the self-exam moved by the fear of worse things. The suffering is then the foundation of the growth, while the happiness drains the existence of the merit that we have accumulated, and for this reason it doesn't last, because once the merit is out, we should make merit again to enjoy again.
In fact the enjoyment and the suffering are God's gifts, and they should be considered this way.
You can not separate happiness and misfortune, they are as the day and the night, they are the two ends of the existence pendulum oscillation. When the pendulum oscillates a lot toward one of the sides, inevitably it should oscillate then in the same measure toward the other side, to achieve the balance.
The wise man it that that knows that the pendulum should oscillate while there is life, and instead of impelling it strongly toward the side of the happiness, being condemned this way to a great misery, tries to produce only modest oscillations. That is to say it tries to achieve balance.
And what can you gain if you achieve balance? Will you achieve the capacity of not losing your temper neither with the good things or the bad things? Will you achieve patience? NO. You will achieve something greater, because you will win the immortality.
You should learn how to be satisfied with what happens to you, be it pleasant or unpleasant, because that is the will of God. The lack of happiness is only given to those that lack knowledge.
You can also learn not to be affected by the happiness neither for the sadness, for the gain neither for the loss, for the victory neither for the defeat; if you learn how not to feel them of your own.
As well as a person discards his old clothes and puts new ones, the body's resident discards one body and puts on other, and in each material life he goes through the experiences that are the result of what he sowed with thoughts, words and attitudes on the previous lives.
We all have a karma, some live it as an imposed grief, and for them the karma is something heavy. When they reach a success they feel proud and feel joy, and in other moments they feel exhaustion and displeasure. But if you live your acts like your own spiritual Being's simple expression, for you the load will be lighter every day, and on it you will find your strength.
THE SLAVES OF KARMA
The slave of the karma is the one that only pursues the sensorial pleasures, or it depends on the objects for his happiness.
The road should be governed by the moderation, not to be too slow neither too quick, because you cannot suddenly give up the longing for the material things.
Wherever you are, whichever it is the activity that you develop, it is necessary to develop it as a God's adoration act, since God is everywhere, in all the things, in all our acts, in all our feelings, and for that reason should be present in all our life.
There is nobody that is in a body and don't have karma, but the karma of the saints is the ideal to which it is necessary to aspire, when you want for yourself the liberation of the suffering.
The spiritual searcher is a superior human being that can learn how not to worry about the result of his efforts, and can learn how to offer his karma to God, and to let Him be the one that picks up the fruits. And he can also learn that it is He is who carries out the acts through you, so that He is the only one that deserves the results. And this will liberate you from your karmic debts.
HOW TO GET RID OF THE KARMA
When we do things thinking in the fruit that they will report us, we expose ourselves to the loss, the pain and also the punishment. The actions that don't tie us to the consequences are those that we offer to God, all the other ones produce slavery.
First it is necessary to worry to do well what we should do, then little by little we can look for to realize why we do it. When we are able to discover the selfish reasons why we do what we do, then we know what we must correct.
We can always offer to God all that we do, and all that happens to us. It doesn't matter if they are good things or bad things, everything should be offered. Day and night it is necessary to resignate our small ego.
Each good action that is made without selfishness, without speculating about the fruits that will give us, breaks a previous karmic debt. Every time that we are a victim of the ingratitude, the attack, the injustice, if we are able to accept it as God's will, they will liberate us from a part of our karmic debt.
Whatever we do, we should not take it as our karma, but we should think that it is God's karma dedicated to God. When it is possible to do it, we liberate ourselves from the stains of the selfishness.
Each one of our acts, those that we want and those that we reject, those that we drift and the unexpected ones, produce a consequence that can be good or bad, this is unavoidable, and this is what ties us to the wheel of the karma, to the wheel of the existences.
The only way of liberating us from the reincarnation and the suffering, is to dedicate each act to God, and to work as if the doer of our acts is God. This way, neither the positive or the negative results will affect you.
