Actions

Any thought, action, or emotional event is like a pebble thrown onto the calm surface of a pond. The pebble creates ripples that have consequences as they spread out on the pond's surface and interact with floating objects and the shoreline.


The greater the size of the pebble and the stronger the intensity with which it is thrown, the greater the size of the ripples. Throwing the pebble in the pond ensures that there will be consequences leading to more consequences and so on. The game of life then is in process.


It is your judgment which makes it appear positive or negative. You may generate what you may call positive karma by donating a large sum of money to a needy individual. In another incident, you may generate what you call negative karma by stealing a large sum of money from your neighbor. Both are important lessons in living that ultimately lead toward greater human understanding and love. The one judged negative simply is the longer path.
