God Realization Is An Inner Journey

It Is A Strange World In Which We Live, - A World Which Is A Governed By The Law Of Karma. A Son Is Born To A Father. He Feels Happy And Rejoices. Little Does He Realize That The Child Has Come To Settle Up Old Accounts? A Young Man And His First Cousin Were In Love With Each Other. After They Got Married, The Girl Found That Her Husband Did Not Come Up To Her Expectations. She Asked For A Divorce And Claimed From Him The House In Which They Lived. Poor Man, He Had To Surrender His House And Is, Today, Wandering Homeless! Through Karma, We Come Into Contact With Those With Whom We Have Karmic Involvements. We Give Them To What We Owe Them And Receive What They Owe Us. Birth Is Never A Matter Of Accident, Karma Determines The Family In Which I Am Born. It Is Commonly Believed That If I Do Evil, & Shall Be Punished For It. The Law Of Karma, However, Is Not Punitive. But Reformative. It May Appear That The Law Of Karma Is Punishing Us For Certain Misdeeds We Might Have Committed In The Near Or Remote Past. The Law Of Karma Never Punishes. It Puts Us In An Environment Which May Afford Us Opportunities For Self-Growth. The Law Of Karma Provides Us With Experiences Meant To Help Us To Grow Into Better And Nobler Persons. Therefore, Let Us Accept The Situation In Which We Find Ourselves And Make The Most Of It By Learning The Lesson Which A Particular Experience Has Come To Teach Us. That Is The Way Of Spiritual Progress.
