Some ignorant people say: "Karma does everything. It is all destiny. If I am destined by my Karma to be like this or that why then should I exert? It is my destiny only."

This is fatalism. This will bring inertia, stagnation and misery. This is perfect misunderstanding of the laws of Karma. This is a fallacioius argument. You have made your own destiny from within by your thoughts and actions.

You have a free will to choose now. You have got Swatantrata in action. A rogue is not an eternal rogue for all times. Put him in the company of a saint. He will change in no time. He will think and act now in a different way and will change his destiny. He will become saintly in character.

Dacoit Ratnakar was changed into Sage Valmiki, Jagai and Madai were transformed. They were rogues of the first waters. You can become a Yogi or a Jnanni. You can make your destiny. You can make your Karma in any way you like. Use the Power of Thought. Think rightly, think nobly. You will have only to think, and to act. By right thinking, by right desiring, by right acting, you can become a Sage, a millionaire. Man is not a hapless being. He has a free will of his own.

Every change in thought makes a vibration in your mental body and this when transmitted to the physical body causes activity in th nervous matter of your brain. This activity in the nervous cells causes many electrical and chemical changes in them. It is thought-activity which causes these changes.

Intense passion, hatred, long-standing bitter jealousy, corroding anxiety, fits of hot temper actually destroy the cells of the body and induce diseases of the heart, liver, kidneys, spleen and stomach.

It is a point worthy to note with care that every cell in the body suffers or grows, receives a life impulse or a death impulse, from every thought that enters the mind, for you tend to grow into the image of that which you think about most.

When the mind is turned to a particular thought and dwells on it, a definite vibration of matter is set up and often, more of this vibration is caused, the more does it tend to repeat itself to become a habit, to become automatic. The body follows the mind and imitates its changes. If you concentrate your thought the eyes become fixed.

It is often said that man is the result of his environmental forces. This is not true. We cannot believe this, because the facts always prove the contrary. Many of the world's greatest men have been born in poverty and in adverse circumstances.

Many who have been born in the slums and filthy surroundings have risen to the highest status in the world. They have won laurels of fame and distinguished themselves in politics, literature and poetry. They have become brilliant geniuses and beacon-lights of the world. How do you account for this?

Shri T. Mutthuswamy Aiyar, the first Indian High Court Judge in Madraswas born in absolute poverty. He had to study at night under municipal lanterns. He had not sufficient food. He was clad in rags. He struggled hard and achieved greatness. He rose above the environmental forces by his strong will-power and iron determination.

In the West, sons of cobblers and fishermen have risen to very high position. Boys who did polishing of boots in the streets and who were selling beer in bars and were cooking in hotels have become famous poets and able journalists.

Johnsons was placed in quite adverse environments. Goldsmith was "passing rich with 40 pounds a year" Sir Walter Scott was very poor. He had no place to live in. The life of James Ramsay Macdonald is worth mentioning. He was a man of great Purushartha. He rose from poverty to power --- from the field of labour to the status of Prime Minister of Britain. His first job was addressing envelopes for 10 Shillings a week.

He was too poor to buy a tea; so he drank water instead. His main meal every day for months was a three-penny beef-steak pudding. He was a pupil-teahcer. He took great interest in Politics and Science. He was a journalist. He gradually through right exertion rose to the position of a Prime Minister.

i completely believe that our thoughts and actions make a person into what he is?
what role does karma lay in all this? if it does what is the balance?

swetha,

You answered your own question:

Quote:

i completely believe that our thoughts and actions make a person into what he is?

This life is all based on our 'free will' (choices) and our 'thoughts and actions'. . . with 'karma' and life in general.

Some of us come in with physical disabilities from large 'bad karma' of past lives. It is up to that person to work through that disability and give back to the world, in whatever way they can.
Example: Helen Keller's contribution to the world of blindness. Stevie Wonder (blind) offering his music to the world. (I am sure you can think of some more.)

There are others that come in with 'good karma' in to a position of influential families. They are here to 'elevate consciouness' to the world, by being a role model if they choose to. (And they might not be here very long.) Example: The Kennedy family, Jack, President of USA - Bobby, Senator in USA, Ted - still in US Congress, and John Jr. male role model & 'Princess Diana', with all her charities and helping women.

I think one of the best examples of 'good karma' was the dedicated/devout life of 'Mother Theresa'
She held a 'shining light' out of true 'love' of her fellow human beings. Wonderful 'spiritual karma'!

Just offering some examples and I am sure you can think of a lot more. . . So it is up to us to resolve whatever issues we may have with Karma, good or bad. It is all a matter of our choices and actions in life. . .

'In the Light'. . . Linda

Dear Linda,

There are many many examples but the one you gave of "Mother Teressa" beats them all. To be a human being like Mother Teressa is very difficult to imagine. I remember reading a famous astrologer writing about Her that she too had her Desires Normal like we normal people but she has conquered her desires for the welfare of Humanity.

OH WHAT A LADY. A VIRTUAL GODDESSS ON EARTH SENT BY HIM.

Dear Pamela,

I was eagerly awaiting your reply. I came to know you had gone to Court through Linda and I could feel there was a stalemate which I informed her. But you coming out of it fully determined and thoughtful as to the next course of action. You have asked for Help and HE does not refuse anyone who seeks HIS help and HE has his own way of sending Help. We are behind you. I see you in White Light always but your Dad is in the Light sometimes 100% sometimes 50% and sometimes even out of it. You have powerful energy in your eyes and dishonesty doesn't stand a chance when faced with energy coming out of your eyes. Every truthful person has power in his eyes and heart for that is where the Creator is.

You remind of my younger sister who must be 56 now staying in New York or New Jersey. She was also swindled by some confidence tricster and all the wealth she has has been swindle by this person and she would not ask my help. You have asked and now I consider you to be my younger sister.

It won't take more than 6 months I feel for your case to come to conclusion. My Guru once told me that the power of evil is very concentrated for a short time, so much concentrated that truth at that moment does not stand a chance. But the power of Truth is uniform throughout and will never give way and hence it wins in the end as the power of evil is only for a short duration.

I have already posted in the Forum for all those who are psychics, expert in meditation, clairvoyants etc. etc. to get togethre to help those members in this group who need help. This shall be our small service to Humanity and HIS call to our conscience. Do keep Linda informed as she is as much interested in your welfare as myself.

Pravin Kumar.
