The
Sanskrit word “karma” means, literally, “law of
cause and effect”.
Any
act, be it good or bad, will have consequences. If we do
good, the consequences will be good to us, however if we
behave badly the consequences will be harmful. There is
no effect without a cause, nor cause without effect.
In
the higher worlds there is a Court of Divine Justice to
judge our actions, which we also call Divine Law, and it
is made up of superior beings, masters of the awakened
consciousness, whose function is to weigh our good and
bad actions and then justly apply the sentence, which is
the consequence of our actions.
The
Court of Divine Justice
This
Court is ruled by Anubis and his 42 judges. In the
pyramids of Egypt several illustrations of the Court of
Divine Justice were found. In these illustrations the
regent Anubis is represented by a jackal-headed man and
the 42 judges are symbolized by several animals.
The
Divine Law is founded on justice and mercy. Justice
without mercy is tyranny. Mercy without justice is
tolerance, complacence with offence.
Each
of us has an inner “agent” of the Divine Law, which
is called Kaon and the so-called Book of Life.
Depending
on whether we do good or bad, Kaon writes in our Book of
Life, and this will be the basis for the Divine Law to
judge our actions and to decide how and when to apply
the sentence.
When
our actions are weighed in a scale, if the good actions
scale is heavier, it produces Dharma,
which is a reward for the good actions we performed.
On
the other hand, if the bad actions scale is heavier it
gives us a Karma,
that is, suffering, pain, adversities, etc.
Types of Karma
There
are several types of Karma:
Individual:
when applied to a specific person. For example, in the
case of sickness.
(It
is important to stress that not all suffering or bad
circumstances are effects of a karma, because due to our
unconsciousness we can directly cause our own suffering.
Example: a person who crosses a street without taking
proper care can be run over).
Family:
when applied in such a way that it affects a whole
family. For example, if a family member is a drug
addict. This causes suffering to everyone in the family.
Regional:
when applied to a specific region. For example,
droughts, floods or other weather adversities that occur
in certain places.
National:
this is a magnification of the regional karma. We have
the example of some countries which are destroyed by
war, dictatorships, misery, natural catastrophes, etc.
Global:
when applied to all humankind. We have the example of
world wars, and currently we can see the global economic
problems, imminence of a nuclear war, large natural
disasters, etc.
We
could not forget to warn, at this point, about the
approaching of the great planet Hercolubus, which will
cause terrible cataclysms, earthquakes and natural
disasters throughout the whole planet.
This
is already happening little by little and is getting
more and more intense.
This
is the last global karma, which humankind will have to
go through.
The
only way to escape from catastrophe is by paying our
debts to Divine Law, eliminating the cause of our
faults, our psychological defects. This is achieved by
intensely practicing psychological or mystical death.
Katancia:
this is the most severe karma, which is applied to
Masters, who in spite of their countless perfections,
can make mistakes and consequently be penalized.
Kamaduro:
the karma applied to serious errors, such as murders,
ambushes, tortures, etc. This type of karma is not
negotiable and when applied, goes irreversibly to the
ultimate consequences.
Karmasaya:
this karma is also not negotiable and is applied when a
person commits adultery. In the holy scriptures it is
written that "every sin will be forgiven, except
for those which are commited against the Holy
Spirit", and this sin is adultery. But, what is
considered adultery by Divine Justice?
In
Divine Law, when two people are sexually joined they are
married in the inner worlds (regardless whether they are
married by physical laws or not). Thus, if a person has
more than one sexual partner in a determined period of
time (less than a year), this person commits adultery
and brings karma to him or herself.
Furthermore,
when two people are sexually joined, by being married in
the inner world, their karmas are joined and become
common to both of them. And if one of these two people
has a sexual relation with a third person, the last one
will have the accumulated karma of all three people.
It
is also important to know that the karmas are joined as
well when one receives or donates blood to another
person, since blood is a very special fluid.
Knowing
this, we can have an idea of how critical the karmic
situation of all humankind is.
Business
As
was said above, the foundations of Divine Law are
justice and mercy. This means that, however hard our
karma may be, we can pay it off with good actions and
then we will have no more need to suffer.
“When
an inferior law is transcended by a superior law, the
superior law washes the inferior one".
“Do
good works to pay off your debts. Fight the lion of the
law with the scales.”
“Whoever
has means to pay, will pay and his business will
prosper; whoever has no means to pay, will pay with
pain.”
If
we put good works on one plate of the cosmic scales and
bad works on the other one, it is obvious that the karma
will depend on which scale plate is heavier.
We
are all great debtors, whether by our acts in this life
or in other past ones.
For
this reason, it is imperative that we change our daily
behavior. Instead of protesting if we are in trouble, we
should make an effort to help others.
Instead
of complaining when we get sick, we should give
medication to people who can’t afford it, take people
to the doctor that can’t go, etc.
Instead
of complaining against people who slander us, we should
learn to see things from others’ viewpoint, and
abandon once and for all every kind of slander,
intrigue, complaining, etc.
Our
karma can be forgiven if we eliminate the cause of our
mistakes, of our anger, of our envy, of our pride, etc.
The
cause of our errors and, therefore, of our suffering is
the ego, our psychological defects. The ego makes us
unhappy, perverse and miserable.
The world would be a
paradise if people would root out from their lives these
inhuman abominations.
As
we eliminate our own defects, the karma related to each
defect is forgiven as well. This is mercy.
We
should never complain against our karmic situation,
since this can only worsen it.
Karma
is a medicine applied to us so that we can see our
greatest defects (the cause of our suffering), and begin
to elimitate them through mystical death.
