1
00:00:09,660 --> 00:00:14,600
Now, last time I told you to be happy;
2
00:00:22,140 --> 00:00:24,800
and now we are going to talk about karma.
3
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:43,520
I'm glad you're in a good mood. Now, the thing is, this is a rather, maybe, dry subject,
4
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:52,720
a technical subject, because it's a very
complex thing, this law of cause and effect;
5
00:00:52,900 --> 00:01:02,780
and I want to give you as much as
possible, practical points, that the Master has given us,
6
00:01:02,820 --> 00:01:13,440
so that we can be safe and avoid the infinite variety of pitfalls.
7
00:01:18,380 --> 00:01:26,260
There is another point, that is
the conflict between our freewill and bad karma.
8
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:29,640
As I said before, quoting the
Master, that,
9
00:01:29,860 --> 00:01:36,000
"God has created all men with the same powers of accomplishment."
10
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:43,780
But, we have, through going against that law of cause and effect,
11
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:49,720
as a result we have diminished and limited that freewill;
12
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,540
and some people do not have very much,
13
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:55,740
because they have all piled up a lot of karma, bad karma.
14
00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:03,240
Now, we should not look at bad karma just as a form of punishment.
15
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,360
This is a negative attitude.
16
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,120
On the contrary, we should look at it as a challenge,
17
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:16,720
a challenge, to bring forth that
greater determination and will power,
18
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,880
to undo, to overcome, adversity and obstacles;
19
00:02:25,620 --> 00:02:34,920
and it is rightly said that some obstacles, adversities, cause some men to break,
20
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,260
and some men to break records;
21
00:02:40,380 --> 00:02:44,600
and when you look at histories of the
various saints, you see very often,
22
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:53,520
it is just because, of
severe obstacles, great suffering,
23
00:02:53,620 --> 00:03:01,700
that they changed, that that brought them out of a rut, of an ordinary, worldly, material existence;
24
00:03:01,740 --> 00:03:07,380
and they used that
determination and turned to God, and became saints.
25
00:03:08,820 --> 00:03:16,300
So never think in terms of punishment, or dwell on the limitations;
26
00:03:17,420 --> 00:03:19,800
and this very often happens,
particularly in the beginning,
27
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,880
when a person begins to practice yoga, practice to meditate, and he finds "I am so restless.
28
00:03:25,220 --> 00:03:29,900
I have such, such terrible habits, and my
body does not want to sit still,
29
00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:32,540
my mind goes a million miles an hour;
30
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:37,580
I am not meant for this." Nonsense.
31
00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:41,340
It simply means: Why are we restless?
32
00:03:42,060 --> 00:03:46,840
Because, we have engaged in activities which produce restlessness;
33
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,800
and so the karma is there.
34
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,840
But, if a person keeps on practicing, then,
35
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,060
though right actions, right thinking, right attitudes,
36
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:03,340
that restlessness producing karma is overcome.
37
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,360
Same thing with the life force.
38
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:12,080
The life force automatically, usually, goes out and
down, outward into the wrong channels.
39
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:19,260
Why? Because we have engaged in wrong
activities; too much in materialistic activities;
40
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,320
and now, simply, through the
practicing of the techniques,
41
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,080
we are reversing, we are changing the patterns of our thoughts,
42
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,260
changing the patterns of the flow of life force;
43
00:04:32,660 --> 00:04:36,240
and then after a
while, gradually it becomes very simple, very easy,
44
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:41,880
because that life force has been accustomed to flow inward more,
45
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:48,220
and upward, into the higher chakras, where the divine consciousness is.
