CHAPTER 5: KNOW THE SOURCE OF KARMA

 

Seekers should view their caste, location, and circumstances as a play created by God in which they are acting. According to the needs of this play, they should perform their duties (karma) with enthusiasm and a sense of happiness. However, they should not view such acting as their true self nor should they relate it with their worldly nature. In this manner, they may not develop an attraction to the tendencies that arise while acting. This dispassion from those tendencies ultimately leads to a longing for love from the beloved (God). During the period of acting, there is a feeling that if we play our role well, our beloved will surely accept and love us in the end.

 

By engaging in the task of acting, as guided by our beloved, we can free ourselves from our worldly attachments. Once these attachments are dissolved, the river of love will naturally begin to flow. This is the experience shared by all lovers of God.

 

We should always remember that we belong to God, who is the master of this play called world. Therefore, we should feel that everything we do is for God’s happiness, and that He is watching us.

 

We cannot purify our karma without first purifying our ego, or the sense of “I.” To purify our karma, we must first cleanse its source and origin.
