The Sum of Karma Self-made Fate

Upward—

Through all the ages—

Never any descent—

Man pursues still the glorious march, which shall eventuate in making him one with the Father—

More than man finite—

Man infinite!

Angelic!

Hope springs eternal in the human breast―

Man never Is, but always to be blest―

The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,

Rests, and expatiates in a life to come.

―Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man

DEATH IS AS NATURAL AS BIRTH

Death is simply one beneficent stage of nature―

A beneficent measure controlled by Divine Providence―

God’s great ordinance―

Universal and inevitable and natural.

The process is for all alike―

Drawing one nearer to God―

Opening the doors to a more beautiful and higher plane of existence.

All death in nature is birth, and in death itself, the exaltation of life appears visibly! 

There is no destructive principle in nature―

Nature throughout is clear, unclouded, life.

If any of you come to feel that you will not shrink―though karma demand you, also, to show that greater love hath no man than that he give up his life for a friend―then, brother, sister, you have known the birth of the spirit within you. Blessed are you then.

THE SUM OF KARMA

Action and reaction are equal. 

That which a man sows he shall reap is a law of the universe—

The pathway to the spirit-realms leads a person to the locality where he can reap what he has sowed, or feel the presence of his own acts.

The evil that men do lives after them.

Phylos, my brother, there is no man or woman, but hath in some past, as well as present life, done grievous evil to one or more fellow beings―man or animal. 

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap. 

And our Father hath ordained that in life, subsequent to the one witnessing the greater sins, he that did them must, also, requite them. 

Must do so by setting against the evil counterbalancing good. 

Not else shall anyone come into the kingdom. 

This is the law of karma.

—Sohma, son of Mol Lang, to Phylos, the Thibetan

Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Karma—

Self-made fate binds the soul to make reparation in some life. or lives, for its sins, in others―

Man is his own judge and executioner.
