XXXIV. Remove Body-Counsciousness - Realize God-Consciousness

The world is filled with God. Saturated as it is with the divinity, the world is

also filled with karma or action. Karma is the power of creation, the power of

life; it is a power directly derived from God. You come into human birth in

order to reap the fruits of your previous actions. In that way, actions lead to

rebirth and then to more actions, thereby, keeping you bound to the cycle of

birth and death. To free yourself from this bondage, should you engage in

actions or should you abstain from actions? The Gita makes the answer clear.

The path to liberation is through karma, through action. But it enjoins you to

turn all your actions into karma yoga, sacred action which will take you

towards union with God.

 

Embodiments of Love,

When the power of life takes on manifestation, it becomes a body. Life, which

wears these various bodies, has also been called karma. The Sanskrit word karma

means work or action; but karma refers not only to the action itself but also to

the cycle of action and reaction, of work and its resulting fruits. Your body is

formed on the basis of the karma or actions that you performed in an earlier

birth. You get this human body and this life in order to enjoy or suffer the

consequences of actions that you were engaged in during another life.

The body is directly associated with karma; it has no meaning outside of karma.

Body means karma, and karma means body. It is through the body that every

conceivable kind of action is performed. The place and the time where these

actions occur are within nature or the world. When actions become sacred and

righteous, when they are selfless and of the highest purity, and when they have

been offered to God, then they become yoga; they lead to union with God. So, you

can see, that in action God, man and nature all come together.
