Content / Description
You cannot evict kamma - Good karma goes to a warehouse of good karma. Whereas bad karma goes to the warehouse of bad karma. It does not affect each other. “A debt incurred has to be paid” But we can change our karma. How? By not doing bad karma and more good karma –this can only be done in the “present” moment. There are 3 types of moments (a) past (b) future (c) present – (1) past – is over and one which cannot change even if you want to (b) future – you can plan till “the cow comes home” future is future, it has yet to come. If you truly observe your planning of future … make a review of your plan for the future and notice that it never happen as planned, so it is useless. (c) The crucial moment is “present” the it up to us to decide to do right (good karma) or wrong (bad karma).
