Three Measures to do with Paying Karma - (1018)

Introduction

This post talks about the three measures involved in paying the karma that we have. The wise use of these three measures can put us into a better karmic situation. This is really simple common sense stuff.

The Three Measures

The Three Measures are:

1.)    Paying.

2.)    Stop creating more karma.

3.)    Accumulating capital.

Paying

We are always paying karma. But we can pay our karma more effectively if we work more intensely in the death of the ego. The part of the death of the ego that accelerates our karmic payment is developing the values of the Being trapped or polarised wrongly in the ego.

If we work to pay our debts consciously we can accelerate their payment.

Stop Creating More Karma

This is really important! We can do this by being very alert and always examining before we act the consequences of our actions. If we always try to consciously do the good or what is better in relativity, we will do well here.

We have to make it like a motto for ourselves, to always do the good or the better in relativity. A key part of this is stop the ego from acting.

For our cosmic account balance this is so important. Because creating more and more karma drains our account of our cosmic capital. This measure is so important to be able to gain control of our cosmic account balance.

Accumulating Capital

We need to create cosmic capital! It helps with everything if we don’t have cosmic capital we can not get healed if we are sick, we can not advance on the path, we can not die in the ego we want to dissolve.

It is also very difficult to help others when we do not have capital. If we have capital we can do so many things. Every practice that we do pays some karma and also stores away some cosmic capital.

Beware! Do Carry Out all Three Measures Simultaneously not Just the First Measure

We have to be wise, if we just pay and pay we will be left with no savings or in other words no capital. We really need to have some capital as well. So that is why it is better to always pay and to accumulate cosmic capital at the same time.

It is just like things in the human field. We can pay off all of our mortgage and then have no money to buy food and to pay the bills. So we end up in trouble. I tis better to pay a little slower and still have money to buy food and the pay the utility bills.
