Good and Bad Karma
(enacting good or bad karma - good and bad karma)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Everything in the cosmic system has two facets to life. If we have day... we also have night! We have plus... we also have minus! We have happiness... we also have sorrow! If we have God... we also have Satan! At any given point of time... the sum total of the whole Cosmos must remain zero! This is how the Cosmos balances itself.

The question is not of something being good or bad. It is our perception that makes something appear good or bad! An optimist visualizes the glass half full... a pessimist visualizing the same glass half empty! The item remaining the same... the situation remaining the same... it is only difference in the perception that makes things appear different to different people.

For one with a full stomach... a loaf of bread may be meaningless! Ask one who is hungry since three days? For him... a loaf of bread means sustenance to life. His whole thinking rotates around that loaf of bread... for him the loaf of bread carries a vital meaning to life! Similar as same person may be a good friend but for others a nuisance... a sworn enemy!

As far as thinking is concerned... one who indulges in wanton desires and materialistic riches is one who invokes negative thoughts from the reservoir of mind minus. One having a sunny disposition and godly thinking invokes thoughts from the reservoir of mind plus. As is our invocation, so is the flow of thoughts to our brain whether positive or negative!

Oranges form a good source of vitamin C... drinking orange juice is really refreshing. For those suffering from acute acidity... the same oranges may sound death knell! Those who have a negative bent of mind praise Satan. Those with a positive attitude pray to God! In a nutshell... those pursuing wanton desires run after money. For wise money is simply a means to an end!
