Karma plus the Troublesome Four

 


As we say with Karma yoga – don’t fall into D-GAP. The four great passions of deceit, greed anger and pride will surely get you into trouble. As you move through life working on your karma each of the troublesome four will also try and attach themselves to your work. If you let them, they will make your labor one of burden as opposed to joy.

Envy brings with it deceit which confuses acquiring for achieving. Many people are good at acquiring, but not at achieving. Greed brings a lack of contentment, while anger leaves us wanting to inflict misfortune because our sense of pride is misdirected and we feel inferior.

 

Jealousy is often disguised in deceiving ourselves into feeling threatened. Greed comes along to make us feel a loss of control while anger adds suspicion and pride leaves us without trust.

 

Resentment’s deceit is in blaming others and not taking responsibility for our part. Do we really think that we had nothing to do with the unfolding of events in our lives?  Resentment gets attached to greed leaving us measuring success by outward appearance while feeling angry because the world seems unfair and disappointing. Our pride kicks in to make us feel like a victim.

Revenge deceives us by getting into our heads. We are the one who suffers when we deceive ourselves with thoughts of greed fueled by anger and enhanced by self-deserving pride that seeks to even the score with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

It will take balance, strength flexibility and the ability to find contentment and peace in a chaotic world to master the 4 great passions and the troublesome four – it takes work -that’s karma, so let’s get to work.

 

END:

Be careful not to fall into D-GAP and be controlled by The Troublesome Four. Just be aware when they arrive; trust me on this one; they will arrive, one by one, in a pair and sometimes all together at once.  Acknowledge them and then investigate why you let these four get into your head and control your life in such a burdensome and impoverish way. What did you gain?

Deceit, greed, anger and pride will never be mastered by letting envy, jealousy, resentment and revenge reside in your mind.  So, be careful what you let occupy your mind.  Because what you let in your mind will occupy you.  It’s takes work – that’s karma.

 

EGO: Just remember the four great passions and the troublesome four will always pull you away from your center – your core is where your soul its quietly waiting for you to return.  Pull your index finger in and place your thumb on top; the symbol of your soul. You are here on earth to work your life so that your soul evolves. Let your soul be your guide and you will know how to work your karma so your life works for you.
