Sometimes, when you think deeply about the
theory of karma, it seems to clash with the theory that the universe is turning
in its own way and by its own rules. And everything is like pieces in a
kaleidoscope. Each time you move it, the pieces form a brilliant new design,
very attractive and beautiful to look at. Some look at the shapes, some at the colors
but the whole design is very pleasing.
Life is just like that but for many, it
becomes dull, colorless, boring, depressing etc. There is no doubt that if life
moves like that, then we are the ones who don't see the colors. Our vision is
defective. We may call it a karmic defect, for past memories cloud the capacity
for clear vision.
But who sees or does not see? NOT the body.
Not the soul. It is our thoughts, emotions and ego. We are "chidananda
roop, shivoham Shivoham."
So, if there is no thought, there is no
emotion and no desire, therefore no ego. That's when the kaleidoscope makes
absolute sense.
