Your karma should be good, and everything else will follow. Your good karma will always win over your bad luck.

Your life is always your call!

Action achieves ambition.

After Daskalos returned to his armchair and was getting ready to continue our discussion I asked him whether the affliction of that man was due to karmic debts. “ ‘All illnesses are due to Karma,’ Daskalos replied. ‘It is either the result of your own debts or the debts of others you love.’ “ ‘I can understand paying for one’s own Karma but what does it mean paying the Karma of someone you love?’ I asked. “ ‘What do you think Christ meant,’ Daskalos said, ‘when he urged us to bear one another’s burdens?’ “ ‘Karma,’ Daskalos explained, ‘has to be paid off in one way or another. This is the universal law of balance. So when we love someone, we may assist him in paying part of his debt. But this,’ he said, ‘is possible only after that person has received his ‘lesson’ and therefore it would not be necessary to pay his debt in full. When most of the Karma has been paid off someone else can assume the remaining burden and relieve the subject from the pain. When we are willing to do that,’ Daskalos continued, ‘the Logos will assume nine-tenths of the remaining debt and we would actually assume only one-tenth. Thus the final debt that will have to be paid would be much less and the necessary pain would be considerably reduced. These are not arbitrary percentages,’ Daskalos insisted, ‘but part of the nature of things.

All these people get married for happiness, but the poor people become miserable within. That is because it is not under one’s control whether to be happy or miserable. It is dependent on the effect of one’s past deeds (karma). One has no choice. One has to endure them.

A meditative mind gathers no Karma.

And in the echo of that gladness, horror blooms within me. In its own strange way, it's a horror as deep as any I've experienced so far. I've succeeded in taking another human hostage, in making him urinate on himself. I made a plan to torture someone, and then I carried it out, and it satisfied me to do so. As much hurt and hell as the Wolfman has caused, I don't want to be his judge and jury, his jailer and tormentor. I don't want to be that person. I want to be good. I don't want to fall into a big, black pit of darkness, because what if I can't get out?

Anger-pride-deceit-greed are in the form of ‘discharge’. But if a person does not have Self-realization, new ones will be charged within.

And there is no judgement in any of it.  In the incredible vastness of the vision of buddha-mind, this world of rebirth, death, and change we call samsara had no beginning.  In this inconceivably immense vision of reality, we have all wandered forever, and so we all trail an endless, infinite amount of past karma.  Through this timelessness we have all done everything, everyone one of us: we have loved, hated, feared, killed, raped, stolen, given, served, loved.  We have done it all.  Through beginningless and ongoing rounds of rebirth, we are all one another's parents, children, friends, lovers, and enemies, over and over again.

Anger-pride-deceit-greed are in the form of ‘discharge’. But if one does not have ‘knowledge of True Self’ (realization of the self), then he ‘charges’ new karmas within.

An insult is a “vitamin”, and pride is “food”.

And then a memory from Avalon surfaced in her mind, something she had not thought of for a decade; one of the Druids, giving instruction in the secret wisdom to the young priestesses, had said, If you would have the message of the Gods to direct your life, look for that which repeats, again and again; for this is the message given you by the Gods, the karmic lesson you must learn for this incarnation. It comes again and again until you have made it part of your soul and your enduring spirit.

Antray (obstacles) are created by speaking completely negatively; and 'positive' does not create obstacles.

Aropit bhaav (the belief ‘I am Chandubhai’) is karma and suffering is karma-effect. Aropit bhaav (the belief ‘I am Chandubhai’) indeed is called the egoism.

Anyone who thought death warmed over didn't look good, had never seen this guy.

A person is not a ‘doer’ in this world. When one believes that ‘I am the doer’ is when the ‘charging’ (of karma) occurs. When one tastes egoistic pride of, “I did this samayik (spiritual introspection), I did these activities,” is when the ‘charging’ occurs. The taste of egoistic pride is very sweet.

Ascension is the triumph of mastered emotions; a process of gaining clarity in the darkness of blind spots and struggles, allowing you to perceive with the karmic intelligence of the Soul.

As a stone in the sea withers from water, and a stone at the mountaintop withers from heat, and a stone in the air withers from wind, so a degenerate person withers from vice.

As long as you are the doer, you will bind karma. Karma is based on doership. When Gnani Purush (the enlightened one) removes this base (of doership), charging of karma stops. Then only discharge of karmas remains.

As for karma itself, it is apparently only that which binds "jiva" (sentience, life, spirit, etc.) with "ajiva" (the lifeless, material aspect of this world) - perhaps not unlike that which science seeks to bind energy with mass (if I understand either concept correctly). But it is only through asceticism that one might shed his predestined karmic allotment. I suppose this is what I still don't quite understand in any of these shramanic philosophies, though - their end-game. Their "moksha", or "mukti", or "samsara". This oneness/emptiness, liberation/ transcendence of karma/ajiva, of rebirth and ego - of "the self", of life, of everything. How exactly would this state differ from any standard, scientific definition of death? Plain old death. Or, at most, if any experience remains, from what might be more commonly imagined/feared to be death - some dark perpetual existence of paralyzed, semi-conscious nothingness. An incessant dreamless sleep from which one never wakes? They all assure you, of course, that this will be no condition of endless torment, but rather one of "eternal bliss". Inexplicable, incommunicable "bliss", mind you, but "bliss" nonetheless. So many in the realm of science, too, seem to propagate a notion of "bliss" - only here, in this world, with the universe being some great amusement park of non-stop "wonder" and "discovery". Any truly scientific, unbiased examination of their "discoveries", though, only ever seems to reveal a world that simply just "is" - where "wonder" is merely a euphemism for ignorance, and learning is its own reward because, frankly, nothing else ever could be. Still, the scientist seeks to conquer this ignorance, even though his very happiness depends on it - offering only some pale vision of eternal dumbfoundedness, and endless hollow surprises. The shramana, on the other hand, offers total knowledge of this hollowness, all at once - renouncing any form of happiness or pleasure, here, to seek some other ultimate, unknowable "bliss", off in the beyond...

As long as the awareness of ‘doer-ship’ is there, till then, one keeps on ‘charging’ (karma). In the Akram-path, ‘we’ (the Gnani Purush) destroy your doer-ship. The awareness that ‘I am the doer’ goes away and we give the understanding of ‘who the doer is’. Therefore, ‘charging’ (of karma) stops! What is left now? Only the ‘discharge’ is left.

As long as we're in a state of confusion, overwhelmed by the three conflicting emotions, trapped in cyclic existence, we're not happy and we can't benefit sentient beings. Even though we think we might be benefitting them, ultimately we're not. The only way to really be of benefit, to ourselves and others, is to establish the status of buddha. There's nothing better than this. But until we purify our unwholesome karma, especially that of the body, there's no buddha—the buddha will not exist for us.

As per the law of karma, that which is your meat today, this dear beloved animal will make mincemeat of you tomorrow. In another birth.

As long as someone gets hurt in the slightest, on your account; its effect will fall upon you. So beware. If the other person keeps “disadjusting” and you keep “adjusting”, then you will cross this worldly life. “Fault is of the sufferer” – if one is able to understand only this much, then not a single clash will remain in the home.

Be always available to noble pursuits... by deed, thought, emotion, prayer, presence, sharing... or whatever other manner... but always attempt to join the bandwagon of noble pursuits in one or the other manner... this helps to unpack the karmic bondage.

Before you act, find your center. Ground yourself in Spirit. Set ego aside. Ask yourself, “How do I want to be about this? What would love do?” Then do that. With good intention and inspired action, good results follow. It’s karma.

Behind every effect there is a cause. You can never eliminate an effect without first understanding its cause.

Being the ‘Knower’ of the unfolding karmic effect will result in resolution and being the ‘enjoyer’ of the unfolding karmic effect will result in suffering. In fact, unfolding karmic effects do not belong to the Self.

Birth is painful and delightful. Death is painful and delightful. Everything that ends is also the beginning of something else. Pain is not a punishment; pleasure is not a reward.

Believing the phenomenon of karma is placing your destiny in the hands of the devil.
