KARMA – CAUSE OF JOY AND GRIEF

Friends, who is the cause of whose sorrow or whose happiness? One's own Karma done in past lives and in tile present is the cause of happiness or grief There is no other giver of happiness or pain. "He gives me pain" – this is the attitude of a fool. "I am the doer" – this is the erroneous and fruitless notion of an ignorant man.
Each individual is bound by the cord of his past Karma. Happiness and sorrow come to you as a result of your Karma. Therefore, bear in a spirit of resig¬nation what comes and remain at ease.
