The Search For Enlightenment

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in difficult and painful situations. The laws of Karma are universal, we get what we deserve, and whether we recognise the causes or not, the effects speak for themselves.

We might feel sorry for ourselves, we may think it’s unfair, but we make the causes for the effects we experience day in, day out.

Now you may be saying that it’s destiny, or coincidence, but that simply means you are delegating responsibility for your life to fate or a mystical figure whose existence can never be proven.

Why do we allow ourselves to be fooled? When we know the reason for events, we accept the situation and move on. When we don’t know (or remember) why something has happened, we waft it away with airy fairy excuses, like fate or God’s will.

Suddenly, we find ourselves in a situation which is totally of our own making. A situation so unexpected, that we convince ourselves that we had nothing to do with the causes. But then we examine the evidence, and to our horror, we find that the causes are there for all to see..

So I hold my hand up, I’m culpable, in part at the very least, and my chanting, prayer and meditation are the tools I am using to start to put things right.
