Karma Connect

Whether it be eating, drinking, reading, talking, sleeping or meditating, our being yearns to completely experience every activity that we engage in and be fully involved in it. Are we fully conscious of every action we engage in? Are we aware every moment of our lives?

A small story:

A man was traveling by cab to the airport. The cabbie was driving very fast, zipping around corners and sharp turns. The passenger was getting terrified. Finally, the cab driver, seeing the terrified passenger, said, "Why don't you do what I do when I take turns? Just shut your eyes!"

When you are not completely aware and involved in the action you are engaged in, your being remains unfulfilled in that experience. The unfulfilled experience remains inside you and keeps pulling you to repeat the action with intensity to fulfill itself. This is karma. Karma is the collection of unfulfilled experiences that stay in us and constantly pull us to fulfill them.

Anything that we do and experience intensely and deeply will always leave our system. It will liberate us. Any experience that we did not go through completely, through which we did not have complete fulfillment, which did not get our full energy, attention and awareness, remains inside us as karma.
