has to shed three Mal (evils) Karm, Maayaa, and Aham (ego)
The 12 Laws of Karm
1. Law of Cause and Effect -
"As you sow, so shall you reap". This is also known as the "Law of
Cause and Effect". Whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes back to
us. If what we want is Happiness, Peace, Love, Friendship.. .Then we should be
Happy, Peaceful, Loving and a True Friend.
2. The Law of Creation -
Life doesn't just happen, it requires our participation. We are one with
the Universe, both inside and out. Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to
our inner state. Be yourself, and surround yourself with what you want to
have present in your Life.
3. The Law of Humility -
What you refuse to accept, will continue for you. If what we see is an
enemy, or someone with a character trait that we find to be negative, then
we ourselves are not focused on a higher level of existence.
4. The Law of Growth -
"Wherever you go, there you are". For us to grow in Spirit, it is we who
must change - and not the people, places or things around us. The only given we have
in our lives is ourselves and that is the only factor we have control over. When we
change who and what we are within our heart our life follows suit and changes too.
5. The Law of Responsibility -
Whenever there is something wrong in my life, there is something wrong in
me. We mirror what surrounds us - and what surrounds us mirrors us; this
is a Universal Truth. We must take responsibility what is in our life.
6. The Law of Connection -
Even if something we do seems inconsequential, it is very important that
it gets done as everything in the Universe is connected. Each step leads
to the next step, and so forth and so on. Someone must do the initial work
to get a job done. Neither the first step nor the last are of greater
significance, As they were both needed to accomplish the task. Past - Present -
Future - they are all connected...
7. The Law of Focus -
You can not think of two things at the same time. When our focus is on
Spiritual Values, it is impossible for us to have lower thoughts such as
greed or anger.
8. The Law of Giving and Hospitality -
If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your life you will
be called upon to demonstrate that particular truth. Here is where we put
what we CLAIM that we have learned, into actual practice.
9. The Law of Here and Now -
Looking backward to examine what was, prevents us from being totally in
the HERE and NOW. Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, old dreams...
Prevent us from having new ones.
10. The Law of Change -
History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.
11. The Law of Patience and Reward -
All Rewards require initial toil. Rewards of lasting value require patient
and persistent toil. True joy follows doing what we're suppose to be doing,
and waiting for the reward to come in on it's own time.
12. The law of Significance and Inspiration -
You get back from something whatever You have put into it. The true value
of something is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into
it. Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole. Lack
luster contributions have no impact on the Whole, nor do they work to
diminish it. Loving contributions bring life to, and inspire, the Whole.
