TRANSFORMING KARMA

Looking through the teachings of the Old and New Testaments we find karma apparent in many sections. One of the most notable is “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” It seems that thousands of years later we are still battling, plotting our revenge, or trying to get even with something or someone, making it our duty not to let anyone get away with anything.

Asked about the adage, the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. mused, “If we follow the words of the Old Testament exactly, and take an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, we will all become blind and toothless.”

Constantly plagued by the mounting annoyances of everyday life, we are able to use the myriad Yoga practices to connect with the Sattwic aspect of our nature. Challenging as it might be, after some time the mind and emotions will acquiesce to calmness rather than aggravation.

“Whatever greatness a person does is followed by others who set their values by her/his example. They will not disturb others who may be still attached to the fruits of their actions. By continuously performing selfless actions, the wise person influences others in all they do.”

—Bhagavad-Gita
