Karma is generally understood to be the rule that if you do "Bad" you'll get it back in your face. What is lacking in this explanation for the simple minded, is that the retribution is not in some distant future. The effects of one's actions are now and for all time forward. (Some even say affecting the past.) The world is one. What you do to the world, you do to yourself.
The faulty perception: We are singularities. We are isolated. Our Selves stop at our skin.Unquestionably, we extend far beyond our skin. We breathe, the air is from the trees. We drink, the water has been rain, sea, tree sap and animal blood. It is not just water, it is full of the chemicals we make. We are One. Karma is the law that states our Oneness. What I do to you, I do to me. It is unavoidable. |
