Benefits Of Realizing The Law Of Action
Suppose a person from India goes to America for the first time and rents a car over
there. He then parks his rented car on the wrong side of the road. He will be charged
a fine because parking laws are different in both countries. He cannot simply say
‘I didn’t know, I am ignorant’. It should have been his responsibility, if driving,
to find out the laws of the new country but he didn’t take enough care.
In ignorance, we have done many things against the universal laws of creation –
especially the Law of Karma. We did not have the complete knowledge of what are good/bad
karmas, what are right/wrong karmas; what different types of effects different karmas
would have on me, others and nature. But we cannot just say 'I didn't know'.
It was our responsibility to know. If we look at the state of the world now, there
may be a few sparks of light or spiritual enlightenment but, generally, there is
a great amount of darkness. That gives us an indication of the sorts of karmas the
vast majority of us have been performing, due to ignorance, to have produced the
situations or circumstances in the world.
The complete knowledge of the karmic process, which we learn when we are introduced
to spirituality, helps us:
• reduce the burden of the past
• remove any type of suffering or sorrow in our present life
• change our future as well as that of the world, to make it better and more positive
• experience a positive return from our spiritual efforts
understand all the why’s, how’s, what’s and when’s which surround our life

Message for the day 22-02-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
Humility helps us maintain good relationships with others.
Projection: When involved in something that we are doing, we naturally come
into contact with a lot of people. We sometimes find that we are not able to get
along with certain people. We find it very difficult to maintain a good relationship
with them and finally avoid dealing with them all together.
Solution: The first thing to do is to avoid thinking that we cannot get along
with someone because of their personality. When we remove this first block in our
mind we will be able to see the good in all. We will no longer think that we are
here to teach them but will humbly learn whatever we can from them.
In Spiritual Service,
Brahma Kumaris
