            are always two sides to any issue when viewed through the
            mind, but truth always remains singular.
                 so, your hesitancy to embrace the Master is actually
            a natural response emerging from the dual nature of your
            mind. If you can suspend your wariness long enough to
            allow yourself the opportunity to gain some firsthand expe-
            rience, you can yourself put these fears to rest.


            1 . Q. You have spoken and written about karma, but will
            you please offer more about what karma is and how it
            works? how does it relate to the concept of destiny, or fate?


               A. Your question certainly addresses one of human-
            kind’s great dilemmas. First let me say that if you had no
            karma, you would be in total bliss right now. You would be
            full of love, and you would instantly leave the body/mind
            consciousness and rise up to the higher states of awareness
            and joy – instantly. It is karma that keeps us chained to the
            earth, and whether it is levied against us as iron shackles
            (difficulties) or golden chains (pleasures) makes no differ-
            ence. all souls must eventually clear their karmic account
            if they want to ultimately achieve the higher realizations.
            Your problems in life, your heartaches, the loneliness you
            experience, the people that judge and demean you, the
            dissension and arguments you have with your boss or loved
            ones, your difficulties with your children, how you think,
            how you look, when you were born, when you translate,
            and basically everything else that you do in your life...all
            is regulated by the law of karma.
                 In simple terms, karma is the law of cause and effect,
            meaning whatever action an individual puts into motion is
            a cause, and according to spiritual law, there must also be
            a corresponding effect. as Jesus taught, “as ye sow, so
            shall ye reap.” If we initiate a loving cause, a loving effect
