The universe is governed by Natural
Laws which are the natural tendencies or principles of life or creation. Some of
the fundamental natural tendencies are Vibration, Attraction, Repulsion,
Polarity, Action, and Evolution. These principles apply to both physical and
metaphysical worlds and operate at every level of creation, from a photon to
galaxies.
The Law of ‘Action’ or ‘Cause and Effect’ or ‘Karma’ is the natural tendency
of creation which restores or regains the balance or rhythm or harmony of the
creation whenever it is distorted. ‘Karma’ is a Sanskrit word that means
‘Action’ but generally used in place of ‘fate’ or ‘destiny’ or ‘give and take
account’. As per this principle, for every action, be it benign or malignant,
creative or destructive, there is an equal return or reaction. This principle
ensures that ‘as you do is done unto you’ or ‘as you sow so shall you reap’.
Through the mechanism of the Law of Karma, the soul is purified and evolves
continuously, until it finally merges with the Universal Creator.
As with every natural law, this is an impersonal law that works everywhere
and all the time. All great masters were aware of this law and hence they taught
to ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’. Newton’s third law of
motion states that ‘for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction’
which explains the operation of this principle as far as the physical world is
concerned. The Law of Action maintains the justice and order of the universe by
giving a commensurate return for every action.
At the fundamental level, everything
is soul/photon which is a web of energy complexes. The mechanism of the Law of
Action is that, every action whether a thought, word, or deed causes a certain
change in the quantum and nature of the energy complexes of the soul. These
changes also get recorded or stored as a memory in the soul, which ensures that
at some point in time, a similar quantum and vibration of energy flows back to
the user via another soul or circumstance.
This mechanism ensures that in every action the soul earns and later
receives an equal return of peace and happiness or pain and suffering. Every
positive thought or deed generates a ‘merit’ or a ‘blessing’ while every
negative thought or deed generates a ‘demerit’ or a ‘curse’. Whenever one does a
good deed, it is bound to give a positive return and whenever one does an evil
deed, it is bound to give a negative return. Each time we forgive and love those
who create trouble for us or inflict pain on us, we are using the energy
positively that ensures a similar positive return to us. Similarly, each time we
hate, inflict pain on others or seek retribution on those who persecute us, each
time we punish and refuse to forgive, we are using the energy negatively that
gives a similar negative return to us.
All our actions do have a return that is equivalent to the ‘quantum &
vibration’ of energy we utilized in the action. The return and equivalence are
based on the principle that holds us responsible for the energy we use in our
actions. Because of the operation of this principle, all the choices we make and
actions we do return to us like the swing of a pendulum. The Law of Action
assigns results according to the quantum and vibration of energy we use. It is
simply an immutable law that gives appropriate results to every action
irrespective of who did what. In other words, under the Law of Action, there is
a return for every ‘action’ deeded by us each moment.
As long as there is a debit or credit account, a balancing act needs to
happen in due course because of the operation of this Law. Throughout our lives,
we are either settling old accounts or creating new ones. When a settlement
happens, the particular recording/ memory within the doer, that has attracted
this energy, gets erased or released or balanced and one may say, the ‘karma is
dissolved or balanced’. If the account cannot be settled in one incarnation, it
is carried forward to the next incarnation. Though in most cases we may not be
consciously aware of the give-and-take accounts that happened in a previous
life, by analyzing the experiences we are going through and the lessons we are
learning, we can figure out the type of karma we had created.
The Law of Action also ensures that all our subsequent actions correspond to
what we have already earned or become. Therefore, a negative person attracts
more negative thoughts from other sources which intensify his feelings/emotions
leading to mistakes or errors in judgment. This happens because, under the
influence of strong negative feelings/emotions, the dark deed is perceived by
the individual as being good and he tends to justify his actions. The soul
subconsciously allows it to happen so as to suffer the consequences which will
provide opportunities for learning a certain lesson and experiencing resultant
transformation. The recording of the changes in the quantum and vibration of
energy within our soul is the compelling force that guides our thoughts and
actions.
Because of the operation of the Law of Action, a person or society, by
creating misery for others, invites misery into their own life. Similarly, any
country that inflicts pain and suffering upon another country cannot escape the
just consequence of its actions, when the time is ripe, when its cup of iniquity
has become full. When darkness prevails over the majority of people on the
planet or in a country or community, there will be mass sufferings, either
through war or natural calamities or pandemic diseases. When an individual
contract a disease or gets into painful situations, it is because of individual
karma. Whereas a pandemic disease like Covid-19 or world war is consequent to
the karma on a planetary level. Negative thinking and aggressive and abusive
behavior towards each other and nature create disturbances in the energy
vibrations of individuals and the planet and leads to events like diseases,
wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, floods, climate change,
etc.
We create our lives and we can only
create those things that are in alignment with our inner state. Today’s
circumstances are the result of yesterday’s choices and actions and tomorrow’s
circumstances will be the result of today’s choices and actions. Further,
today’s choice determines what type of choices will be available to us tomorrow.
It may be true that we may not be able to pinpoint the ‘ultimate’ cause of most
of the events in our life as every event is an effect of a previous cause, and
that previous cause is also an effect of a cause still more remote. At the back
of every action, we find some actions that lead us to the one that we may be
considering now, but we cannot easily recognize what triggered those initial
actions. However, a conscious person can see a pattern emerging from these
events which correspond to certain behaviors or beliefs or thoughts.
Our environment (sorroundings and circumstances), especially people, acts as
a mirror where we can see our reflection/image. They show us the mirror and help
us to transform as we recognize many of our imbalances when we see them in
others with whom we have close/regular interactions. This is all the more so
with family members and other close relationships, who put the magnifying glass
over our shortfalls or imbalances and allow us to balance them. Like everything
else, we attract such people and circumstances to help us correct our
imbalances. Our incarnation and life are preplanned and re-planned in such a way
that we come across those people and circumstances with whom there are karmic
accounts to be settled. This is the way our soul plans its evolution in each
incarnation. These catalysts will continue in our life until we fully
evolve/transform.
We can see a repeating pattern of these reflections or projections at
multiple situations in our life. And it appears that we are forced to endure
those situations as if we are stuck there. In most cases, whatever is the
behavior/nature of these individuals/circumstances that bugs us or causes
negative feelings/emotions in us, is an area which we are still struggling to
balance or master. When we analyze or meditate on these catalysts then we can
see that each of them is trying to teach us some virtue like patience,
self-control, forgiveness, love, etc., which is the opposite of our
struggles/imbalances.
Our feelings/emotions tell us whether we are in alignment with our true
nature and purpose of life or not at any point in time. Positive feelings say we
are in alignment and negative feelings say we are not in alignment. Negative
feelings tell us to change whereas positive feelings tell us, it is where we
need to be. These feelings/emotions guide us to be in alignment with our true
nature and purpose. Further, our feelings/emotions determine our reality because
we attract what we love, fear, hate, etc. If we are judgmental then we encounter
judgmental people all around us. If we are nonjudgmental then we encounter
nonjudgmental people in our day to day interactions. If we hate
people/circumstances, then we come across lots of hateful people/circumstances
and when we start loving others, we suddenly find a change in those
people/circumstances towards us or we see those people/circumstances being
replaced with loving ones. This means that when we get transformed or balanced,
then we do not need certain lessons anymore and they just go away, and we avoid
attracting such imbalanced people or circumstances in our life again.
In other words, our feelings/emotions determine our reality because we
attract what we love, fear, hate, etc. If we are judgmental then we encounter
judgmental people all around us. If we are nonjudgmental then we encounter

and when we start loving others, we suddenly find a change in those
people/circumstances towards us or we see those people/circumstances being
replaced with loving ones. Our environment is just acting like a mirror and it
cannot reflect a mango if an apple is held before it. As our inner state
changes, our environment responds to it automatically. This means that when we
get transformed or balanced, then we do not need certain experiences/lessons
anymore and they just go away, and we avoid attracting such imbalanced people or
circumstances in our life again. If we express love in all our acts, then over a
period of time, we are cleansed of all negative feelings/emotional energy and
are left with only positive vibrations within. And our environment, including
the physical body, faithfully reflects or projects our inner state –the state of
our soul.
We need to be watchful and mindful of those triggers or catalysts that cause
negative feelings/emotions like fear, anger, lust, greed, impatience,
restlessness, jealousy, hatred, etc. It is therefore important that we
introspect or review our life regularly, at least once a day, to see where we
need change or improvements. We should examine our lives to figure out what our
external environment is trying to teach us by those circumstances and behaviors
of other-selves and by the feelings they are creating in us. Furthermore, we
should figure out why we did what we did and what were the mistakes we
committed, and what would have been the ideal choice of action. Then we need to
accept the day’s experience as it is and forgive other-selves and our self for
the mistakes, if any and thank every participant for his attempt to teach us. We
should also bless all those people whom we perceive have wronged us or have
caused inconvenience or pain to us and should love them unconditionally. With
this, we will be able to balance or transform our soul from any blockages or
imbalances.
To further simplify this process, we can divide it into four
steps.
a. become conscious of the imbalances,
b. accept them,
c. forgive ourselves and others for these imbalances,
and
d. develop/ manifest the opposite of those
imbalances/feelings/emotions and express unconditional
love.
Self-analysis (introspection), meditation, intuition, and dreams
are important tools we can use for clearing and balancing the energies of our
soul and evolve. The key requirement for using
these tools is a calm and
focused mind. A calm state can be achieved by removing distractions in our life
and focus can be achieved by training/discipline.
The Law of Action or Karma ensures
that the aggregate of our past lives (of previous incarnations and the present
life until now) determines our destiny. We can ignore the Law and suffer its
consequences or consciously cooperate and enjoy peace and happiness. Until we
are awake and attain a certain balance, we experience a roller coaster life
because of the operation of this Law. It is an immutable Law and we cannot wish
away the consequences of our actions. Nobody can escape this law – we are paid
in the same coin that we give. This law helps us to be reminded that our
environment and our situations today are the net result of what we thought and
did in the past.
Everyone will receive according to what they give in thought, word, or
action. And the receiving is faster now because our planet has moved into higher
vibrations of its next phase of existence, that is fourth density. Though many
do not understand the underlying mechanism of this principle, everyone, by
experience has learned the relationship between cause and effect and hence
avoids doing certain things that could give them unpleasant results, just like
the child who attempted to touch the flame and burnt its fingers tries to keep a
safe distance from it next time. This law does not put us in a hopeless
situation, but it teaches us what is good and what is harmful. If we take time
to reflect on our lives and take corrective actions, try to meditate, and think
positively regularly, we can easily keep all our rays/chakras in a good
condition and experience abundant health and happiness.
