Why You Need to Attend to All of Them<\/h4>\n

Most of us think we have an idea of what karma is about<\/a><\/strong>\u2014there\u2019s good karma and bad, right? While scholars and pundits sometimes confuse us with too much detail, believe it or not, karma is pretty straightforward.<\/p>\n

Karma is, at the bottom line, a combination of cause and situation creating results. Like this: A man kicks a dog. We can look at two different situations. Suppose the dog is minding her own business and, BAM, the guy boots her. Not terribly enlightened behavior. But what if the dog is about to attack a small child, and there’s no other way to stop her aggression? This makes the behavior look somewhat better.<\/p>\n

So, what we do certainly creates results\u2014and those results are thought of in terms of karma. Why we do what we do mitigates, or directs the karma. Karma is a result, then, that can carry far into the future,<\/a><\/strong> even into future lives. So what are teachers talking about when they divide karma into types?<\/p>\n

Think in terms of stages of readiness, maybe.<\/p>\n

1. Accumulated actions<\/strong>. This is about completed actions across all of your lives, present and past. It explains the sort of energy that surrounds you because of things you\u2019ve done, and a balance is struck between the good things and not-so-good.<\/p>\n

2. Actions you\u2019ve set in motion. <\/strong>These are not yet finished\u2014like a boomarang you\u2019ve set in flight that hasn\u2019t yet returned to you. The results are unclear, the circumstances still undefined.<\/p>\n

3. Actions being born. <\/strong>This is that favorite of John Lennon: Instant karma. It\u2019s about those acts or actions that are presently, in this life, right under your nose and waiting for you to choose which way you\u2019ll go. Like a bubbling pot\u2014something is going to happen, but until all decisions are made and the heat is turned up or down, it\u2019s too soon to decide what.<\/p>\n

4. Future actions or future results. <\/strong>This is the bottom line sum of all you do in your present life. Work off your past debt, and you\u2019ll sail on smoothly. Slough off and ignore your spiritual growth, and the stuff you should have fixed will pile up in your accumulated karma. You can\u2019t escape consequences and will face the same tithe in future lives.<\/p>\n

At first glance, it may seem we can be kind of casual about our motives and behaviors. I mean, you\u2019ll have many lifetimes to work it all out, right? Not so fast. It\u2019s probably better to carefully consider your everyday karma<\/a><\/strong> and not end up with a heavy burden down the road. From small acorns grow large trees.<\/p>\n
