KARMA-SUTRA-3

Friends - last week we saw what is KARMA - and what re the first 3 laws of KARMA:
Law One: As you sow, so shall you reap.
Law Two: You attract what you are, not what you want.
Law Three: What you resist, persists for you.

Now today lets see next 3 laws...

Law Four: Wherever you go, there you are.

This is known as the "Law of Growth." True change must begin with yourself. It is pointless to try to escape from a situation - as wherever you go, YOU will still be there … and with all the same dysfunctions. We try to change everything and everyone around us; but unless and until we change ourselves - nothing will actually change. Self-change is the source of genuine growth toward enlightenment and fulfillment. It is easy to change our outward circumstances in the hope of finding greater peace and joy, but the reality is that genuine peace and joy come when we ourselves are transformed from inside.

Law Five: Whenever there is something wrong, there is something wrong in me.

This is the "Law of Responsibility;" also known as the "Law of Mirrors." Simply stated, we must take full responsibility for our lives and outcomes (both the good and the bad). It is easy to blame others when things go wrong, or not to our expectations, but to determine where the real blame lies may require us to look intently into a mirror. There stands the one responsible! Are we part of the problem, or part of the solution? The answer may well lie in where we place the blame for the former.

Law Six: Whatever you do may be insignificant, but it is still important that you do it.


This is the "Law of Synchronicity;" also known as the "Law of Ultimate Connection." Everything in the universe is perceived to be connected, thus there is no action performed that is truly insignificant. What you and I might perceive as inconsequential, may actually, in the grander scheme of things, prove to be extremely consequential. Thus, we must learn personal discipline and humility, and fulfill our individual tasks in life with a sense of purpose and even pride. We each matter; no one is insignificant.
