Introduction
Here is something that my marvellous missionary said the
other day, explaining the case of 'control freaks' and their relationship to karma. Note, he didn’t use the word:
control freak I added that.

| Control freaks are unbalanced. Everyone from the outside knows this but does the control freak know it? |
Person with No Karma
The person who does not have karma does not control anything
nor does he or she wish to. While the person who has karma will try to create and control
circumstances.
This is because the person with karma will always seek out balance in an effort to compensate for having karma, and so control becomes a necessary tool for him or her to ensure that a balance is established. They also want balance to be established because they are scared of things turning out not to be in their favour. They ignore that their scale is unbalanced in general, and in particular in relation to that event. If they were to balance their inner scale in relation to that event they would be at peace.
See, in this case we have the reference point wrong again, it
is outside, and it being outside in trying to control the physical flow of an event, makes us to become a control freak. The reference point in this case should be inside of ourselves, focusing on our inner scale.
When a control freak manages to establish
balance or order, they can make the mistake of feeling as if they are the Law. But
they are not! Control freaks tend to have an exaggerated feeling of grandeur
and importance towards themselves, that in order for things to flow correctly or fairly they must be there directing it all.
The one without karma is not the Law and they know it! They
don't ever try to substitute the law, they trust in the law, and they allow the law to work by itself. They do not have nay need to compensate because they are at peace with the law and what will happen. They have no debts to settle with the law and so they know nothing unjust will come against them.
End (1330).
