- Karma
Buddhi Yoga unites our intelligence with God and when Self-realisation is attained, the fruits of Karma will no longer find the personality there.
The following illustration will make this clearer.
During the Spring of one year, birds nest in a tree in your garden.
The following winter you decide to chop this tree down.
When the birds return in the spring of the next year, they do not find the tree and fly away.
This is what happens to your Karma.
It is not there and re-birth is unnecessary.
- Unity
Science unites the world positively and negatively.
Positively: the radio brings into your house the languages, culture and religions of all people.
Negatively: the atomic bomb threatens to unite all in the grave.
- Karma
Where is it recorded?
Unless prayer, penitence or balancing action reaches that depth, it will not wipe out that Karma.
- Motive
In order not to slip into apathy, it is good to have a good selfish motive:
"I am doing this to go to Heaven" - then, "I am doing this to please God", - then, "I am doing this to purify my heart." - then, no motive!
What is the difference between verbal and visual anthropomorphism?
The Bible and Quran present a verbal anthropomorphism - and the Hindu makes it visual, in idols.
- Charity
Is He Worth It? When you ask that question, it is a lame excuse!
If you are sincere, do not put the money back in your pocket, but find the deserving man.
