KARMA

As mentioned earlier one can choose what he wants to do. However, that is not totally true. Most of the vital work (karma) is not left to the individual.

The body breathes. This breathing is not left to the choice. If it were left to human choice, the person might forget to breathe, or may just not want to breathe.

Several such vital actions are not optional. The beating of the heart is not your choice.

If you do yoga you may be able to control your breathing or heart but in doing so you have developed the integrity and the wisdom not to interfere in the nature’s process.

Your Karma that is left unto you is really not that important for the universe. It may be very important for you but for the existence it is totally immaterial.

So the question arises. If you have to do karma and every time you perform a karma it is deposited in the Samskara virtual account, how can you ever achieve the zero balance that we talked about in our first chapter? Normally what weunderstand by karma or work is a response, a pratikarma.
