The karma that is most interesting is the mental karma because ultimately it generates physical action.
When you cause something to happen it causes a shift in your awareness. Shifts in your awareness ultimately will result in a pattern shift in your life.
All states of mind have different views. On the higher plateau, opportunities will open to you because you can see them.
Karma will lead you to a larger more expansive happier view or a dinger darker view. That view will enable you to make choices and have experiences.
Karma is engendered by states of mind. If you are in a happy state of mind, that will engender one kind of karma. If you are in an unhappy state of mind, that will engender another kind of karma.
The state of mind that you are in causes you to act in a certain way. Your actions will bear results. The ultimate result of all karmas and actions is state of mind. You are your state of mind.
Karma means that through your thoughts and feelings and actions, you are generating a state of mind. That state of mind has a view. That view will cause things to happen to you or not happen to you.
It is best to think of karma, not so much in terms of physical action, but as waveforms of vibratory energy.
This lifetime right now you have a specific destiny. You are destined to die at a certain time, to make a certain amount of money, to have certain associations and friendships.
The experiences you'll have, the people you'll love, the jobs, the joys, the sorrows, the way you'll die. It is all predestined, unless you will a change.
If there wasn't a way around the samskaras, no one would ever become enlightened.
Free will exists and operates outside causality. It is not hooked to karma. Free will is like a well that is on your property. You can choose to draw water from the well or not.
If you choose to draw from the inner well of free will, then you can make choices that are outside your current karmic patterns.
Free will exists within each of us. Most people choose not to use their free will, so consequently they rarely alter their karmic patterns.
With free will, we can modify, to a certain extent the chain of karma that has been set in motion by the karma of the previous moment. That is what free will really is, the ability to alter the sequence of karmic fate.
It is always possible to get into a higher state of mind. The way you get into a higher state of mind is by generating good karma.
The person who gives selflessly in this lifetime immediately goes into a better state of mind. That is instant karma.
Intent is all-important. Your intent determines what happens to you inwardly, in a karmic sense.
Everyone experiences desire. Desire is not bad. There is no good or bad from the point of view of karma. There is only structured reaction.
Selfless actions create a higher karma, which brings you into higher states of mind. When you are in higher states of mind you will see things that you never saw before.
You did something noble. This will cause a release of energy. It causes a vibratory shift. It means you are moving into a different plateau of consciousness.
If your motives are high and noble and your work is hard and you do a good job, then whatever the task is in your life, it will benefit you.
By practicing Buddhist Yoga, you can become happy, ecstatic and free in your current incarnation, even if you have never been that way before in any of your past lives.
Happiness is something that comes from creating good karma. The monk who feels that what they are doing is unpleasant is not really creating any good karma and will not have a better lifetime.
If you are not happier every day, if you don't see a progression of development, then you are certainly not practicing yoga or Buddhism and therefore you cannot be amassing any positive karma.
