Demanda Tre: Cual es carma?

Question Three: What is karma?

R: Carma es un prinsipe universal de causa e efeto. Nosa atas, egal bon e mal, reveni en la futur e aida nos a aprende de la lesones de vive e deveni persones plu bon.

A: Karma is the universal principle of cause and effect. Our actions, both good and bad, come back to us in the future, helping us to learn from life’s lessons and become better people.

Responde plu longa: Carma es un de la leges natural de la mente, la mesma como gravita es un lege de materia. Esata como Dio ia crea gravita per trae ordina a la mundo fisical, El ia crea carma como un sistem divin de justia cual es autogovernante e infinita justa. Lo crea automata la esperia futur conveninte per responde a la ata corente. Carma sinifia simple “ata” o “causa e efeto.” Cuando alga cosa aveni a nos, un cosa cual pare nonfortunosa o nonjusta, lo no es ce Dio puni nos. Lo es la resulta de nosa propre atas pasada. La Vedas, la scrivedas revelada santa de induisme, dise a nos ce si nos semi bonia, nos va recolie bonia; si nos semi malia, nos va recolie malia. Donce nos crea nosa propre destina tra pensa e ata. E la lege divin es tal: cualce carma esperiada par nos en nosa vive es esata cual nos nesesa a acel momento, e no cosa pote aveni estra lo de cual nos ave la fortia nesesada per encontra lo. An carma sever, cuando on fasa lo con sajia, pote es la catalisente la plu bon per crese spirital. Si nos comprende la modo en cual carma opera, nos atenta vive bon e virtuosa tra bon pensa, bon parla e bon ata. Lo es nomida darma.

Longer answer: Karma is one of the natural laws of the mind, just as gravity is a law of matter. Just as God created gravity to bring order to the physical world, He created karma as a divine system of justice that is self-governing and infinitely fair. It automatically creates the appropriate future experience in response to the current action. Karma simply means “action” or “cause and effect.” When something happens to us that is apparently unfortunate or unjust, it is not God punishing us. It is the result of our own past actions. The Vedas, Hinduism’s revealed scripture, tell us if we sow goodness, we will reap goodness; if we sow evil, we will reap evil. Thus we create our own destiny through thought and action. And the divine law is: whatever karma we are experiencing in our life is just what we need at the moment, and nothing can happen but that we have the strength to meet it. Even harsh karma, when faced in wisdom, can be the greatest catalyst for spiritual growth. Understanding the way karma works, we seek to live a good and virtuous life through right thought, right speech and right action. This is called dharma.

Esplica detaliosa: Carma es fundal un enerjia. Me ejeta la enerjia tra pensas, parolas e atas, e lo reveni a me, a tempo, tra otra persones. Carma es nosa ensenior la plu bon, car nos debe sempre fasa la resultas de nosa atas e tal boni e refina nosa condui, o sufri si nos no fa acel. Nos indus regarda tempo como un sirculo car cosas sicli a sirca denova. Profesor Einstein ia veni a la mesma conclui. El ia regarda tempo como un curva, e ance spasio¹. A fini esta debe fa un sirculo. Carma es un lege multe justa cual, como gravita, trata cadun en la mesma modo. Car nos indus comprende carma, nos no odia persones ci dana nos. Nos comprende ce los redona la efetos de la causas cual nos ia inisia a un tempo plu temprana. La lege de carma pone person a la sentro de respondosia per tota cosas cual el fa e tota cosas cual es fada a el.

Elaboration: Karma is basically energy. I throw energy out through thoughts, words and deeds, and it comes back to me, in time, through other people. Karma is our best teacher, for we must always face the consequences of our actions and thus improve and refine our behavior, or suffer if we do not. We Hindus look at time as a circle, as things cycle around again. Professor Einstein came to the same conclusion. He saw time as a curve, and space as well. This would eventually make a circle. Karma is a very just law which, like gravity, treats everyone the same. Because we Hindus understand karma, we do not hate or resent people who do us harm. We understand they are giving back the effects of the causes we set in motion at an earlier time. The law of karma puts man at the center of responsibility for everything he does and everything that is done to him.

Carma es un parola cual nos oia multe frecuente en televisa. “Esta es mea carma” o “Lo debe es alga cosa cual me ia fa en un vive pasada e cual ia trae carma tan bon a me.” Nos oia carma definida mera como “Lo cual vade a sirca va veni a sirca.” En alga scolas de induisme, carma es regardada como alga mal cosa — cisa car nos es, per la plu, consensa de esta lege cuando nos fasa carma difisil, e no es vera consensa de lo cuando vive vade bon. An alga indus egali carma con peca, e esta es cual cristianes evanjelial predica ce lo sinifia. Multe persones crede ce carma sinifia “fortuna,” un destina predeterminada cual on no controla, cual es ance nonvera.

Karma is a word we hear quite often on television. “this is my karma,” or “It must have been something I did in a past life to bring such good karma to me.” We hear karma simply defined as “What goes around, comes around.” In some schools of Hinduism, karma is looked upon as something bad—perhaps because we are most aware of this law when we are facing difficult karma, and not so aware of it when life is going smoothly. Even some Hindus equate karma with sin, and this is what evangelical Christians preach that it means. Many people believe that karma means “fate,” a preordained destiny over which one has no control, which is also untrue.

La prosede de ata e reata sur tota niveles — fisical, mental e spirital — es carma. Asi es un esemplo. Me dise parolas jentil a vos, e vos senti pasosa e felis. Me dise parolas sever a vos, e vos deveni turbada e vosa fronte — fronsida. La jentilia e la severia va reveni a me, tra otras, a un tempo plu tarda. Esta es carma. Un arcitetor pensa cosas creosa e produosa en cuando desinia scemas per un construida nova. Ma si el ia ta pensa cosas destruosa e nonpoduosa, pronto el no ia ta pote susede cualce tipo de taxe positiva, an si el ia ta desira fa lo. Esta es carma, un lege natural de la mente. Nos debe ance es multe cauta sur nosa pensas, car pensas crea carmas — bon, mal e miscada.

The process of action and reaction on all levels—physical, mental and spiritual—is karma. Here is an example. I say kind words to you, and you feel peaceful and happy. I say harsh words to you, and you become ruffled and upset. The kindness and the harshness will return to me, through others, at a later time. This is karma. An architect thinks creative, productive thoughts while drawing plans for a new building. But were he to think destructive, unproductive thoughts, he would soon not be able to accomplish any kind of positive task even if he desired to do so. This is karma, a natural law of the mind. We must also be very careful about our thoughts, because thought creates, and thoughts make karmas—good, bad and mixed.
