No Re-action; No Karma Is Produced

That is the crux, and the decisive, most important point.

Any thought or situation is a product of the past. It is karmically produced.
It is not producing karma.

Even though an action or thought comes to mind, it is still a product of the past. If one re-acts to a situation then karma is produced, and the cycle continues – our biased behaviour recycles. Even though emotions appear in the mind, one should not feel guilty, remembering that they are a product of the past.

No reaction – no karma.

So a residue or echo can be experienced, but if this is recognised as such, there is no clinging. This is the point of inner silence, clarity and wisdom. The karmic load is being emptied, purified.

This is the work.

Being told, “You are clinging”, creates a disturbance and a feeling of guilt in the mind; there is no way out, and we feel trapped in fear. If there is no leaning towards or away, and no indifference, then that is the natural state of being. Just leave it alone. That is meditation. Clarity is meditation.

The real test is in our personal relationships.

You can’t change people; you can only change yourself, your habit*.
