KARMA


From the book:

Vedanta for the Western World edited by Christopher Isherwood. page 14


The individual can escape from Karma at any given moment, as soon as he realizes that he is the Atman. The Atman is not subject to reincarnation. It stands beyond Karma. It is only the individual ego which passes from life to life. Every individual will realize this, sooner or later. 


When samadhi has been attained, The Law of Karma ceases to operate. No new karmas can be created. The liberated saint may live on in his human body for a while, just as a wheel goes on revolving after its motive power has stopped. But he will never be reborn, either in this world, or in any other karmic sphere. He will remain in the Atman. As an individual, he will have ceased to exist.


*


“You do not become part of the karmic game. You have risen above this. And as you become peaceful, anger slowly drops from your consciousness as all anxiety and bitterness, and hate are transcended and you begin to feel a wonderful peace, you begin to notice that those people who come into your aura also feel peaceful, feel harmonious. You're not doing anything voluntarily. You have just risen. You have risen to a higher state of consciousness. (p. 307)”
