Karma, Or Do Unto Others…
Karma as defined by Jane L. Robertson & Deborah Hughes in their
book, “Metaphysical Primer” is actually nothing more than “cause and
effect”. And when we really take a close look at the Law of Karma, that
is exactly what it shows us.
This is not some “New Age” thinking, oh no. It is illustrated in The
Bible in Luke 6:31 “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
This is also known as The Golden Rule.
What that Bible passage is telling us is that in order for us to be
treated the way we wish, then we must treat others as we wish to be
treated. Basically this boils down to a matter of respecting other’s
rights.
Now, according to the Law of Karma, we receive back that which we put forth. Hmm, sound similar to something else I just said?
Many people believe that if they do wrongs in this lifetime, they will
pay for them in the next lifetime. Well I propose that there is a more
immediate reaction and result that manifests itself in our current
daily lives.
For example, a person cuts you off and you get angry, curse, give them
the “finger”, and just spew forth wilingly and profusely a torrent of
negativity. And it’s all aimed at the other person.
Say you are on your way home from work when this happens, and you fume
all the way home about this ” *@!$()_*$# idiot driver”. By the time you
get home you are in a very ripe mood and you walk in the house. Your
spouse, or significant other, is already home sitting in front of the
TV with the newspaper lying on the floor beside the chair. You
immediately go into a tirade about how they should learn to pick up
after themselves, and on and on it goes.
You have just entered the “Karma Zone.”
As you continue to vent your frustration on your spouse, girlfriend,
boyfriend, house mate, room mate, significant other, whatever, you
immediately get back from them what you are giving them. Well, perhaps
not immediately, but for most people, you soon draw them into your
negativity and at that point “it is ON!”
Rewind a bit.
You get cut off in traffic on the way home. You immediately feel the
rise of anger within you and you let it surface. But instead of
regurgitating a stream of profanities at this person, you decide to
just let go of the anger, and say a silent prayer that this person does
not cause someone harm.
You’ve just turned a negative into a positive, and when you get home
you still find the same situation as above, but you walk in, kiss the
person, ask them about their day, and begin your daily unwind from the
“world of work”. In the end you have no fight with your partner, you
enjoy a fantastic meal with each other, then settle in for a night of
watching TV, reading, talking, whatever pleases you both.
At the end of the day, you’ll feel much better than if you had taken the negative route in this situation.
So Karma can and does have a more immediate effect on our lives than we
sometimes give it. Does this mean we should be scared of the Law of
Karma? Nope. By having the knowledge that this law does exist and is at
work in our lives every minute of every day, we begin to focus on doing
what our inner selves know is right for the situation.
