Unfolding of karmic effect is self-resulting (swaparinami). Therefore, whatever the unfolding karmic effect does is correct. Do not be obstinate there. The unfolding of karmic effect indeed means that it has come before you to give the result. Why not stop interfering in it?

Universe first gives you; what you wished for others.

Unquenchable desire for interconnectedness. Sate me.

Upon the time of death, when you leave your body and look back at your memories, it might come as a big surprise to you to see that you have spent an entire lifetime behaving according to what others expected from you, that is, doing what they expected you to do according to your exterior appearance to them, and based on which they formed their entire conclusions regarding who you are. When that moment comes, you will regret wasting an entire lifetime living in total darkness about your true self. That is when you will wish to be reborn again. And then you will forget your regrets and repeat your previous steps. And you will reborn again, and again, and again, until the world you live in, is uplifted enough to help you go through life in a good way. But, ironically, that cannot be achieved until such world becomes what you wish it to be, until others are better than you. And so, it is paradoxically comic to realize that you will never become better than those that surround you, and it is up to you to help them help you.

Vin, kamu harus ingat satu hal. Apa yang kau lakukan pada orangtuamu hari ini, akan sama dengan yang akan kau dapatkan dari anakmu suatu saat kelak. Janji jangan seperti mereka ya,” pungkas opa Mulyono seusai menceritakan keluarganya. (Rajut Cinta Yang Tak Pernah Usang, Dunia Tanpa Huruf R)

Vairâgya or renunciation is the turning point in all the various Yogas. The Karmi (worker) renounces the fruits of his work. The Bhakta (devotee) renounces all little loves for the almighty and omnipresent love. The Yogi renounces his experiences, because his philosophy is that the whole Nature, although it is for the experience of the soul, at last brings him to know that he is not in Nature, but eternally separate from Nature. The Jnâni (philosopher) renounces everything, because his philosophy is that Nature never existed, neither in the past, nor present, nor will It in the future.

Waiting for one’s execution is worse than dying. To seek my beheading is glory. Who went to his execution willingly? Jesus did. Jesus even dragged his cross half way to Golgotha. I think he would have nailed himself to the cross if he had to.

We generate our own Karma with our thoughts, words and deeds. It would be quite true to say that our thoughts create our karma - good, bad or indifferent.

We create karma by all kinds of selfish actions.The first thing we must understand is that we are psychologically asleep.It is very difficult for us to be conscious of ourselves. We are not very aware. We must come to recognize that we do not pay attention.

We do not recognize that we are addicted to some negative psychological habit, some terribly self-destructive patterns of thinking...

We don't find love, love finds us. What you put out into the universe will find its way back to you.

We create the world we live in. If we want to change what we don't like in the world, we must start by changing what we don't like about ourselves.

What are merit (Punya) and demerit (Paap) karma? God resides in every living being in this world. So do not have an inner slightest intent to hurt any living being. Otherwise, you will bind demerit (paap) karma for the wrong doing. And when you have the intent to give happiness to others or when you give the slightest happiness to others, then you give happiness to God, for which you will bind merit (punya) karma.

...we lay there in the dark for a split second before the beast galumphed toward us. Meabh, always quick with a sword, sprang to her feet and charged the dragon head-on while I mostly just wondered who or what I'd offended in a past life that this one was peopled by dragons. Except I didn't have any past lives, so apparently I'd offended somebody in this life and was facing instant karma. That didn't really improve anything, in my ever so humble opinion.

We must always reflect only what we wish to see reflected within us.

We often look for kindness back in the same place we gave it, and mostly that is where we go wrong. Kindness does not work that way, you put your kind deeds into the universe and the universe reflects back that energy into your life, from unexpected avenues at most appropriate times.

What does ‘family member’ mean? However big one’s business, he has that many customers. The smaller the business, fewer the customers it has; and the bigger the business, the more are the customer. When the karmic accounts are settled, the customers will stop.

What does nature say? Any injustice towards you is justice, and justice towards you is also justice. Hence do not do any sankalp (my-ness) and vikalp (I-ness), otherwise you will have to accept justice through crying. Instead, say it is vyavasthit (scientific circumstantial evidence), and you will find the solution.

Whatever firm decisions (nischaya) you have made; only those will bear fruit. You do not have to do anything else.

WELCOME to the Karma Cafe. There are no menus you get served what you deserve...

Well, you may think you have all your ducks in a row, that your life is sorted. You might have the perfect house, the perfect job, the perfect life, nothing to worry about and then something can come along and end all of that in a second. It’s absolutely beyond your control. You can’t plan for unexpected things. And then people start saying, as a way of coping with this latest catastrophe, that it was meant to happen, it was fate. It’s not fate, it’s not some greater force out there. It’s just life and you cannot control life.

We should never worry too much about what people think of us. But we should worry a lot about what the world of karma thinks of us.

We will never have an expiration date. Our love is destined to exist forever.

Whatever actions that are seen in this world, are the discharging of karma that has previously been charged. A person has nothing to do with it. There, he does the egoism that I have done samayik (introspective analysis as Self). One binds karma there, and gets entrapped. He is indulged in the pride of doership there!

Whatever activity one sees in this world, it is discharge of previously charged karma. Man has nothing to do with it. He only does egoism here of, ‘I did samayik (introspective meditation).’ He creates a karmic account! He becomes entrapped! He takes enjoyment from tasting sweetness of subtle pride of doer-ship.

What is considered as Purusharth (real spiritual effort to progress as the Self)? It is when there is a sense of independence (swatantrapanu), there is Self-dependency (Swa-dhin), there is no dependency on external factors (paradhin). Whereas here, work is only done when other circumstances come together. That which happens subject to scientific circumstantial evidences is prarabdh (an effect of past life karma).

What is the cause of karmic bondage? It is agnan (ignorance of the Self). What is the cause for moksha (ultimate liberation)? It is Gnan (knowledge of the Self, the Pure Soul).

What is the ‘fruit’ (reward) of ‘relative religion’? It is merit karma; not liberation.

What is the lowest form of life in this world? Is it theft, cunningness, or falsehood? There is no state that is lower than the yearning to be worshipped by people. The desire to be worshipped while being unworthy of worship is very wrong indeed.

What is the main cause of karma? What binds karma? Karma is bound because of presence of doership. As long as there is a belief that ‘I am Chandubhai’, one will bind karma. ‘I am Chandubhai’ is aropit bhaav (deluded view; False attribution of the belief ‘I am Chandubhai’, on the Self), and thus it becomes a doership.

What is the nature of merit karma (punya)? It will be spent. There may be a thousand ton of ice, but what is its nature? It is to melt away.

What is 'discharge'? It will not move away till it’s time has come. Discharge does not happen at your convenience, if you are in a hurry.

What is punya (merit karma) and paap (demerit karma)? No one runs this world. But still, the circumstances of merit and demerit karma, runs this world.

What is the state of the antahkaran (inner complex of mind, intellect, chit and ego) of mhts of the Akram path? Meddling has stopped for them, but when effects of the past karmas unfold, they become confused that, ‘these are my effects’. Whereas, when they ask ‘us’, ‘Are they our effects or someone else’s?’ I will tell them, ‘Theses are someone else’s effects.

Whatsoever God gives is somehow good. Whether good or bad, in the long run you'll find it was not exactly bad but in a way good.

What we see in the world around us is just a reflection of what is inside of us.

What you give today you get tomorrow.

What you do for others today you have done for yourself tomorrow.

What you do to others God will do to you.

What you think is your Karma. I hold myself to great Karma.
