Remember, Love is the Whole of the Law, Love under Wisdom.

13th Teaching (I) – Doctrine Of Samskara

Radha: It is with all my love that I ask you this question, Father. Sages have told me so many things about karma. One says this and the other says that. I am confused Father. Please tell me what you teach as to karma so I shall no longer possess such ignorance.

Father: Dear Child, I shall answer for my love for you extends even onto the Deva Heavens.

Karma is a temporal law linking cause and effect.
For our actions, intentional and mechanical, of today
shall bear fruits tomorrow, or even later.
From our actions comes the fruit of our actions,
wholesome actions lead to wholesome future states,
unwholesome actions lead to unwholesome future states.

Is it not true, my dear?
A fire fed more fuel burns the brighter?

An ignorant one chasing after wealth, fame, sex, or power
attracts to himself those of like mind and character.
So it is with the desire of concupiscence,
one act incites further lusts,
leading to ill health and poverty.

So it is with greedy desires,
one acquisition mounting upon another,
until only gold is real.
So it is with desire to be king,
once king one finds no peace.

Indulgence in egoistic and worldly desires, repeatedly,
strengthens such desires so to become habitual,
giving great power to undesirable demons within.

Consciously applying super-efforts in the Work,
doing what is wholesome and altruistic,
strengthens such desires so to become habitual,
bringing radiance and love into the soul-seed.

A superior one ignores the worldly desires
binding one to this world and leading to death.
Rather, he seeks liberation and union with God.

Such truth is not disputed amongst the Sages or Seers.

So daughter, remember thus,
Man consists only of desires,
as his desires are, so is his disposition,
as his dispositions are, so are his deeds,
whatever his deeds are, so to that he attains.

A man’s dispositions predict what a man shall do,
given a particular set of events in space and time.
His dispositions are the mark of who he now is,
as such dispositions are engraved
on his oneiroin, or psychic body,
such is called one’s dispositional hue,
incarnate or discarnate.

Such truth is not disputed amongst the Sages or Seers.

The disputes among Sages are to be found below.

The Vedas call such dispositions, samskara,
and such exist even after death.
Moreover, the state of the oneiroin,
be it wholesome and radiant or
unwholesome and dark,
determines what realm a man be drawn towards,
a Hell region, a Heavenly region, or rebirth.

Some schools contend that every living creature
is trapped in an endless series of life experiences.
As long as one maintains desires for life’s pleasures,
he or she shall be reborn, again and again.
as Deva, Asura, man, animal, insect, and so on,
depending upon his or her dispositions.

Some schools contend, but one corporeal life,
for after physical death,
the wholesome oneiroin is attracted to Heaven
and the unwholesome on to Hell.
Such Heavens and Hells being eternal.

Some schools contend that only human creatures
are trapped in an endless series of lives.
They are reborn immediately after corporeal life,
such new life conditioned by their dispositions,
so to remove disposition unwholesome
and grow dispositions wholesome.

Some schools contend that the dispositions
of each and every soul-seed
will carry-over when this universe
deflates and re-inflates into a new one,
as if the dispositions imprinted are eternal.

Some schools believe that karma is a law,
a law of universal retribution,
such that the sins or kindnesses
committed upon another
are repaid to you in currency kind.
