I used to ask myself these questions: Why is this always happening to me?
Why do I keep meeting people like them?
How do I get out of this bind I’m in?
When is my life going to change?
sat down to think about
And so on and so on and . . .
Perhaps you too have asked yourself questions like this.
I have studied the Law of Karma.
I know I am receiving ‘my due’.
OK, I can accept that.
But how can I change what I am getting back?
How can I improve things for myself?
I know the Law of Karma operates so that we can learn our lessons and change, and that this will eventually lead to a better life.
Yet I really wanted a shortcut.
I was tired of just suffering the returns.
I wanted a way out.
So, I sat down to think about this.
There surely has to be a better way. There must be an easy way – a short cut.
I wanted to find that shortcut
Basically the Law of Karma says: What I give out, I get back.
So I reasoned this out…
I could turn the logic of this around, just like you play with a riddle or a Rubik’s Cube
to extract ‘the magic solution’.
Here is my reasoning, my quick fix, my shortcut…
If what I give is what I get, then, if I give what I want, I will get what I want.
What do you think of that reasoning?
Does that sound logical to you?
It did to me.
I thought I would try it out.
What did I want most? I wanted love.
So, if I give love, I should get love.
That’s what the Law of Karma says.
I decided to have love for myself and for the individuals in my life,
no matter what their faults might seem to be.
There are two types of love: false love and true love.
True love is unconditional love, where there is love for others in spite of what are judged
to be their faults. Love the whole package and accept them as they are!
False love is when we “love” others but we want them to change, to be what we want. So, that’s not really love, is it?
So, I knew that, if I really wanted to receive unconditional love, I would have to give unconditional love.
