Giving a donation is an effect (prarabdha – effect of past lives deeds), and the (illusory) self effort (cause for next life) is the inner intent that prevailed while making the donation.

Good inner intent, higher inner intent, is one’s ‘positive’ effort with which one will go to higher life forms.

Therefore, just change your inner intent (bhaav). Do not get distressed over the actions of the mind, speech and body; just change your inner intent.

We sit sometimes not knowing why we feel restless or sad, but in truth we are feeling transferred emotions moving through our atmosphere. We pick up on frequencies that come from near and far that affect us unconsciously. Humans are like moving antennas. We are magnetic entities living in an electromagnetic world. The core of the earth is a gigantic crystal that captures and amplifies strong energies in all directions. We all act and react as its transmitters and receivers.

I don't really believe that people can predict the future,' he admitted. 'People predict the future every day, Stenwold Maker,' she replied, studying the rainbow carefully as the glass panels shifted slightly on the creaking wooded framework. 'If you drop a stone, you may predict that it shall fall. If you know a man to be dishonest, you may predict that he will cheat you. If you know one army is better trained and led, you may predict that it will win the battle.' He could not help smiling at that. 'But that is different. That is using knowledge already gained about the world to guess at the most likely outcome.' 'And that is also predicting the future, Stenwold Maker,' she said. 'The only difference is your source of knowledge. Everything that happens has a cause, which same cause has itself a cause.

Predicting the future does not require predestination, Stenwold Maker. It only requires a world where one thing will most likely lead to another.

Karma, simply put, is an action for an action ... good or bad.

Karma alone does not take care of everything. One had made a desire of enjoying sex. He does that one karma. So what does parsatta (nature, the other power) say at that time? ‘We cannot give you just the karma of sex, in this world. We have to look at everything around it. So we have to give you a wife, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, aunt-in-law, we have to give you all that too!!’ In wanting just a wife, how much more became latched on to it!

Karma has been a pop culture term for ages. But really, what the heck is it? Karma is not an inviolate engine of cosmic punishment. Rather, it is a neutral sequence of acts, results, and consequences. Receiving misfortune does not necessarily indicate that one has committed evil.

Consider: if you fall into a well, you are not a bad person who deserves to suffer—you are merely someone who took a wrong step. Or someone who had one drink too many. Or got a head rush due to poor circulation. Or forgot to wear your glasses. Or— The reasons are plentiful, and all plausible. But the chain of cause and effect goes way, way back into the deepest hoariest recesses of your personal past. So never rule out retribution. But never expect it.
