To understand karma we
need to begin with an understanding of reincarnation.
Whether you believe in reincarnation or not it is an interesting subject for most
people. According to karma yoga and
physicist we are simply a bundle of energy. And according to the laws of
thermodynamics energy is never lost, but simply changes form. Our energy field
(body, mind, soul) is a subtle form of motion like a wave or a pulse that goes
on and on. But to fully understand
anything we must understand it’s opposite. So if we can only know on by knowing
off is it possible that we can only know we are alive by knowing we had once
been dead?
If we are simply a bundle of energy
and we follow the laws of thermodynamics we can conclude that our energy is never lost,
it simply changes form. So it would
stand to reason that when we die our energy just changes to a different form of
energy and that energy maintains the potential to return again to earth and
change its form again. It takes strength,
balance and flexibility to take on form. So as you work through the yoga class
today, think about yourself as a bundle on energy that has taken on the strength
to survive and flourish, balance so you might navigate through life and flexibility
so that you might endure the ever changing nature of life. Let’s get started.
You are a bundle of energy that has
chosen to reincarnate into this body and this life for the “soul” purpose of
working through your karma. Hold onto your strength; you will need it to
survive and flourish; work on your balance; it will be challenged with every step
you take and stay flexible and open to change. For the one thing you can absolutely
sure of is that life will change. In this you will evolve.
