Principle 10 - Karma and Samskara
Action and Its Imprint
"Do unto others as you would have them do to you."
Karma means action or activity that produces a result and leaves behind an energetic impression inside our heart-mind. Karma is recorded within the imprint of memory and within the memory bank of the universe. For every action there is an equal an opposite reaction - Sir Isacc Newton's third law. The law of karma encourages us to practice equanimity and act selflessly for the benefit of others.
Thoughts
Any event we experience leaves an impression in our memory.
I can avoid disturbinf events and participate in positive, uplifting ones.
I will act toward others as I would like them to act toward me.
Exercises
Imagine how your actions might change if every moment were recorded on video for the entire world to see.
What patterns do I possess, and how does each one influence or drive my behavior?
If samskara causes negativity to arise, how can I transform that samskara into something positive?
