The Law of Karma
-The Law of Karma only applies to the ego - when we Realize the Self there is no cause and effect
-Our present life (prarabdha) has been fashioned from our past karmas (sanchita) and our future life will be fashioned from our past and present karmas (agami) - the Law of Karma has everything to do with who we were, are, and will be
-Even the opportunity to think about the Law of Karma is enough to be thankful for let alone being guided on understanding this Law - our discussions create and emanate peace and joy
-We tend to relate good and bad with what others are doing and the reasons why they are doing - when we remove the idea that we are the 'doers' this painful dichotomy crumbles
-We need to curtail the activities of the subjective mind (mind) and encourage the functioning of the objective mind (intellect) - by doing so we overcome our likes and dislikes and begin to focus on what our duty is
-Cause and effect, the Law of Karma, as you sow so you reap, what goes around comes around, etc. are all different expressions of the same principle
-Any choice that causes us anxiety and sorrow tends to be wrong - any choice which creates peace and joy tends to be right
-There is only Life - there is nobody who lives a life
