Karma is about fair and appropriate consequences, not punishment. Everything that happens to us has a cause, a seed. We were its sower. And are its cultivator.
When about to act, we need to remember there are no causes too minor to carry a resultant consequence. So when tempted to take the easy way out, we need to decide if we can live with the consequences.
Remember that comparing ourselves to others is pointless because we all have different karmas. So we should not spend time wondering what another’s karmic consequences will be.
It is our own consequences that we should be concerned with. We should also remember that where our thoughts lead, our behavior follows.
And that all we experience today is the result of our past karmas. As for tomorrow, with one worthy thought, we plant a seed for good fortune. And with one wrong thought, we plant a seed of misfortunate.
I alone am responsible for my life. The bad news? There is no one to blame. The good news? I can change my life.
