True Simplicity Rules Karmic Paths

When a bird is alive it eats ants, yet when it dies, the ants eat it. 

Circumstances can change at any time and the tables usually turn over a period of time.

Fire nourishes and Fire kills

Do not oppress, despise or hurt anyone during your lifetime. 

You may be powerful today but remember, time is more powerful that you!

 Just like one tree makes a million match sticks, yet when the time comes then only a single match is needed to burn a million trees.
Mufti Ismail Menk

What is Karma in a nutshell?
Answer: कर्म Karma is not punishment or retribution but simply an extended expression or consequence of natural acts. Karma means "deed" or "act" and more broadly names the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction, that governs all life. The effects experienced are also able to be mitigated by actions and are not necessarily fated. That is to say, a particular action now is not binding to some particular, pre-determined future experience or reaction; it is not a simple, one-to-one correspondence of reward or punishment.

What else do I think Karma is?
I think it is magnetic.  I think all things in the universe are magnetic and thoughts and feelings and words are magnetic.  They are alive with a positive or negative charge and they attract or repel.  To negate something is to take it down to posit something is to place higher.  So therefore the Heart of a person is the most alive part of themselves and it generates the  power in the body and it is magnetic in nature. It has two valves and an engine is similar with its inlet and outlet valves ie. so is an air conditioner but it far less spirit filled.

Aristotle distinguished between four causes, or four explanations, that each answer the question "why?" in different ways. These various means of explanation can be divided into four general types as follows:

• The material cause is the physical matter, the mass of "raw material" of which something is "made" (of which it consists).
• The formal cause tells us what, by analogy to the plans of an artisan, a thing is intended and planned to be.
• The efficient cause is that external entity from which the change or the ending of the change first starts.
• The final cause is that for the sake of which a thing exists, or is done - including both purposeful and instrumental actions. The final cause, or telos, is the purpose, or end, that something is supposed to serve.
