Cheerfullness and Karma

You must bear your karma cheerfully, whatever it may be, taking it as an honour that suffering comes to you, because it shows that the Lords of Karma think you worth helping. However hard it is, be thankful that it is no worse. Remember that you are of but little use to the Master until your evil karma is worked out, and you are free. By offering yourself to Him, you have asked that your karma may be hurried, and so now in one or two lives you work through what otherwise might have been spread over a hundred. But in order to make the best out of it, you must bear it cheerfully, gladly.

Yet another point. You must give up all feeling of possession. Karma may take from you the things which you like best- even the people whom you love most. Even then you must be cheerful- ready to part with anything and everything. Often the Master needs to pour out His strength upon others through His servant; He cannot do that if the servant yields to depression. So cheerfulness must be the rule.

Virtues and Discipleship

Developing the virtues and eradicating the weaknesses are very important for aspirants and disciples who are treading the spiritual path. Unfortunately, this is also the most neglected practise by the students. Without the development of the virtues, the disciple will eventually fall.

Insincerity

Good deeds are like different flowers in a meadow. Among the healing ones there may be others which are quite brilliant but poisonous. Among the wonderful manifestations there may be found extremely deadly ones, but only by experiment is it possible to make a just selection. Insincerity contains a destructive poison. It can be observed that a construction built upon falsehood degenerates into hideousness. Much is being spoken about good deeds, but they must be truly good. Let people search the depths of their hearts as to when they have been good.

Discipleship and Obstacles

There are four things which frequently hold back a group of disciples from achievement and from satisfactory work:

1. Lack of vision, incident to a lack of mental keenness.

2. Personal glamour. This involves the astral plane.

3. Individual problems, involving a pronounced preoccupation upon the physical plane with its circumstances and difficulties—in this most difficult of worlds.

4. Inertia or slow reactions to the imparted teaching and to the presented opportunity.

Self image and Karma

People ask if our Karma changes if our self-image changes. The answer is "yes". Most probably we create less karma if we improve our our self-image. We also change our karma in creating a new self-image. Self-image is built out of the substance of our thoughts,emotions, words, actions and relationships. Karma is nothing else but the result of these five factors. When the factors change their nature, karma consequently changes.
