Karma Is Our Own Responsibility

   Man, in his soul, is not predestined to be either good or bad. While vice or virtue may seem inborn, every human tendency is self-acquired either in this life or in former lives. it is the result of individual choice.

   To rationalize one's shortcomings by such claims as, "I am bad only because my karma makes me so," or, "Satan pushed me; it is his fault, not mind," is to reason dangerously. Unfortunately, many people take this line of argument.

   Somewhere, they hope, hidden in the vast, crowded warehouse of their past experiences, there must exist some good excuse: some long-forgotten sin committed not by them, but against them, some influency before the power of which they were but victims.

   In modern times, with psychoanalysis a subject of widespread fascination, people are conditioned to blame their problems on others' treatment of them - on the cruelty or indifference of parents, teachers, society - anything, to avoid having to face the need to improve themselves.

   It is mere subterfuge on the ego's part to plead helplessness in the face of difficulties. The root causes of our problems grow out of sight, in the subconscious. We put down those roots ourselves, originally, by wrong deeds that we performed in the past. Today, if anyone behaves badly toward us, it is him we blame for our hurt.

   That we might in some way have attracted that hurt never enters our minds. If our "luck" turns against us, we blame anything and anyone but ourselves. Yet it is we, by the magnetism projected by our own karma, who drew that hurtful behavior, or that "rotten luck," to ourselves.

   Every circumstance in our lives, every characteristic, every habit, however much we now repudiate it, was something we ourselves created, whether recently or in the distant past. Each one is due to our misuse of the free choice God first bestowed on us.

   He gave us the freedom to return to Him, if we so decided, or to allow our lives to flow futilely toward sense-indulgences.

   From Him, the only Source of life, flow all strength and goodness. If our life force flows outward continually, alienating itself from its Divine Source within, it enters an aris desert. In barren sands of matter-consciousness, its streams become absorbed and disappear.

   Blame no one for the evils that beset you. Accept responsibility for your own life, and for whatever misfortunes you encounter. Do your best, with firm resolution, to eliminate the harmful tendencies in your own nature.

   Only by perfect self-honesty and dynamic self-effort will you eliminate forever the influence of satanic delusion in your life. Remember, it was you who invited that influence, by your own thoughts and actions. Live from today onward guided by divine wisdom from within.
