The Law of Karma and the Law of Forgiveness
Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of
boomerangs. Man's thoughts, deeds and words return to him sooner or later,
with astounding accuracy.
This is the law of Karma, which is Sanskrit for "Comeback."
"Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
For example: A friend told me this story of herself, illustrating the
law. She said, "I make all my Karma on my aunt, whatever I say to
her, some one says to me. I am often irritable at home, and one day said
to my aunt, who was talking to me during dinner. 'No more talk, I wish
to eat in peace.'"
"The following day, I was lunching with a woman with whom I wished
to make a great impression. I was talking animatedly, when she said: 'No
more talk, I wish to eat in peace!'"
My friend is high in consciousness, so her Karma returns much more
quickly than to one on the mental plane.
The more man knows, the more he is responsible for, and a person with a
knowledge of Spiritual Law, which he does not practice, suffers greatly,
in consequence. "The fear of the Lord (law) is the beginning of
wisdom." If we read the word Lord, law, it will make many passages in
the Bible much clearer.
"Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord" (law). It
is the law which takes vengeance, not God. God sees man perfect,
"created in his own image," (imagination) and given "power
and dominion."
This is the perfect idea of man, registered in Divine Mind, awaiting
man's recognition; for man can only be what he sees himself to be, and
only attain what he sees himself attaining.
"Nothing ever happens without an on-looker" is an ancient
saying.
Man sees first his failure or success, his joy or sorrow, before it
swings into visibility from the scenes set in his own imagination. We have
observed this in the mother picturing disease for her child, or a woman
seeing success for her husband.
Jesus Christ said, "And ye shall know the truth and the truth
shall make you free."
So, we see freedom (from all unhappy conditions) comes through
knowledge -- a knowledge of Spiritual Law. More
