The Law of Intentions

It is not actually the actions that cause troubles or give rewards. It is the thought behind the actions that count. In fact not even the thought, but the “intent” of doing something good or bad. The way human mind and body works: We don’t control either of them. In fact, we don’t even know how the brain and body work, except in bits and pieces. As for the brain, we are almost blind with regards to its mechanism. All we know is that some electrical signals pass from one neuron to another and different parts of the brain control different activities. How and why: we have no clue.

While you can have the intent of anything, whether that translates into action or not depends on a vast number of factors which are beyond our control. If the brain is not functioning properly, the intention may just dissipate away. If you are drugged, you may have bad intent but not be able to think properly through it to plan a nefarious action. Even if brain works reasonably well in translating that intent into a well-developed thought, whether that thought translates into action again depends on a huge number of uncontrollable factors. You may decide to shoot, but whether it would hit the target or not depends on a huge number of uncontrollable factors again. Have you seen a cricket match? Every bowler knows that if they step outside the line, it would be a no-ball. Every time they bowl too outside the stump line, it would be a wide ball. Yet, despite their best intentions to the ball in line and tremendous practice, wides and no balls are inescapable. Humans are prone to errors because we do not fully control our minds and bodies. On top of it, there may be a variety of environmental factors that come into play. Thus while you may have the intent of doing something, it does not necessarily mean that a well-defined action would take place.

Hence you can only “intend” to do something good or bad. How far that intent translates into thoughts and then actions are not something you fully control. The universe is so designed that your intentions mould the reality around. Similarly, intentions of someone else mould the reality around him. Universe acts as a matchmaker that creates an appropriate overall reality that best fits what you, me and someone else deserves depending upon our respective intentions.

The key takeaway from this is that law of Karma actually does not depend on your actions. It depends on your thoughts. In fact, to be more precise, it depends on your intent. Correct idiom should be “As you intend, so shall you face.” Your intentions become your reality. If you decide to change your intentions and are determined to make your thoughts purer, clearer, timeless, you can change your reality, your results, your outcomes, your success. Simply change your intent, and the world shall change. Remove the fluctuations from intents and fluctuations from the path of success will go away.
