Trust In Life = Trust In Karma = It’s Our Teacher

Our life is created by our previous actions and attitudes, which give rise to good and bad results.

‘Bad’ describes a self-serving attitude (another word would be evil). Evil doesn’t lie in some horror comic manifestation; it is everyday, self-opinionated, negative behaviour.
To be positive is to be certain through clarity; it is ultimately unshakeable as it is the clear seeing of pure awareness.

Negative: from late Latin negativus, from negare ‘deny’.
Positive: to be certain.

It is because of an attitude that we acquire our bundle of karma – the things that happen to us, and our habitual reactions to those events.

Spiritual practice is being aware of this state of affairs – this state of existence – seeing it as our precious teacher which is with us all the time, until karma is completely exhausted, and enlightenment occurs.

Everything is exaggerated by our emotions, which create our attitude/mood. The more we meditate properly, the more the emotions come under our control, naturally revealing the presence of wisdom (good karma). This is why we do not have to try too hard as it all comes our way.

In the very first instant that a negative emotion such as pride, anger, fear, jealousy, indifference arises, the mind illumines brightly – something is alerted, and that something is pure awareness, which is common to all.

We can trust this as it is the basis of life before we entertain evil thoughts towards others.
