What Is Karma ?


Cause and Effect of Karma


There is a word "Karma", passed on from the
past, but nowadays it is rare to find someone
who knows correctly what Karma is. What do
we call Karma and what is Karma ? Karma is
something that exists in the source which
moves oneself, lets have a look carefully how
the Karma which is in the source, is made. The
Karma is made by things that happened to you.
Then how can things that happened to you
make this Karma ? it is important to understand
that. This means that something you did is
saved in your consciousness. Now we have to
look at nature in more detail.
Every phenomenon which appears in nature,
everything that happened in them is saved in
their seed. Human being is a subject with a
consciousness. Human beings save everything
what they did in their consciousness. This
consciousness works as a spirit and when the
spirit comes to meet death it remains
independent by separating from the body.
When this consciousness which was in the
spirit disappears it will be reborn as life soon.
But because the consciousness disappeared it
does not mean things what happened in the
past will disappear. Even if the consciousness
disappeared, everything which happened to
you will be latent in that. So these complex
things which are latent in you will continuously
cause reaction. The habit of Karma is trying to
keep repeatedly things that happened to you
forever, and that is Karma. There are two
meanings which allow everything to exist in the
world. The world exists by these two meanings.
The first one is reincarnation.
Reincarnation means that everything is
repeated. Something which exists continuously
causes the phenomenon of repetition, past
present and future are spinning endlessly. So
our life exists by this law and every creature is
repeatedly being born and dying by the law of
cause and effect. If something was born in the
world but does not disappear by itself but tries
to keep itself to exist. Something that happened
to you has same meaning. So if something is
saved in your consciousness it does not
disappear but it continuously acts by receiving
the influence of it. According to what happened
to you, present and future life will be different.
So things in yourself which will stay forever will
be different, that's why to make a relationship
is something that people must be very careful
of. When a person makes a relationship with a
bad thing that will produce a bad thing but
when a person makes a relationship with a
good thing that will produce a good thing. This
is also the Law of Cause and Effect. Karma will
exist in you by the cause and effect. As long as
this Karma exists a human cannot be able to be
free from the control of this Karma.
If someone has a big Karma and if the person
tries to live good life and to do good things
rather than not becoming a good self will ruin
others as well. And by doing things to become a
good self will always make oneself distressed.
Because there should be a good source in
yourself but if there is not that good source it is
rare to occur good things in you. At this point
only Enlightenment can influence you. Without
Enlightenment you cannot disobey the
direction of Karma which is in you. We can see
phenomenon like this from our surroundings
easily and it is very important for the life of
human being. Therefore nobody can get out of
these phenomenon without Enlightenment. The
law of nature is strict. In mathematics two plus
two cannot be one or five, things which exist
are not changeable in truth as well as
mathematics it never changes. That is why
people say that the most important thing for
living all our period of life is Enlightenment.
If someone does a good thing and makes a good
result of 60% but makes a mistake of 40% with
ignorance while the person was not aware, in
this situation the person can control emotions
and wrong temper and can fix something which
is wrong if the person tries. But if someone
makes Karma which is the result of ignorance
by making mistake of 60 % but good Karma of
40% in this situation it is very hard to do a good
thing because the power of big Karma
interferes rather than good self when the
person is doing something. The reason why
there are many problems that appear in our
society is because the society doesn't accept
about how Karma is made by things what
happened to someone in the past. How does
Karma appear ?
Karma appears by things in you. How is Karma
made ? Karma is made by words and actions,
Karma can be made by actions and words.
What kind of Karma is made by words. When
someone says things that the person doesn't
know then that will be the Karma. Telling lies is
something that ruins oneself and others too.
This is Karma which is made by words. That is
why disciples who were taught rightly by
Buddha wrote at the beginning of the script "I
heard like this"
