BECOMING MASTER OF DESTINY

 
Creative karma possible only in physical body

If the nature of the karma in earthly life is determined by impressions stored in the ego-mind, they in turn are determined by the nature of karma in earthly life. The impressions in the ego-mind and the nature of karma are interdependent. The karma on earth plays an important part in shaping and re-shaping the impressions in the ego-mind, and giving it a momentum which decides the further destiny of the individual. It is in the arena of earthly existence that creative and effective karma can express through the medium of the gross body.

Becoming master of destiny

Proper understanding and use of the law of karma enables man to become master of his own destiny through intelligent and wise action. Each person has become what he is through his own accumulated actions; and it is through his own actions that he can mould himself according to the pattern of his heart, or finally emancipate himself from the reign of karmic determination which governs him through life and death.
