A Series of Lessons in Gnani Yoga894
“Never shall yearnings torture him, nor sins
Stain him, nor ache of earthly joys and woes
Invade his safe eternal peace; nor deaths
And lives recur. He goes
“Unto Nirvana. He is one with Life
Yet lives not. He is blest, ceasing to be.
Om, Mani Padme Om! the dewdrop slips
Into the shining sea!
“This is the doctrine of the Karma.
Learn! Only when all the dross of sin is quit,
Only when life dies like a white flame spent.
Death dies along with it.”
And so, friends, this is a brief account of the operations of the Law of Karma.
The subject is one of such wide scope that the brief space at our disposal
enables us to do little more than to call your attention to the existence of the
Law, and some of its general workings. We advise our students to acquaint
themselves thoroughly with what has been written on this subject by
ourselves and others. In our first series of lessons—the “Fourteen Lessons”—
the chapter or lesson on Spiritual Cause and Effect was devoted to the
subject of Karma. We advise our students to re-study it. We also suggest
that Mr. Sinnett’s occult story entitled ”Karma” gives its readers an excellent
idea of the actual working of Karma in the everyday lives of people of our
own times. We recommend the book to the consideration of our students.
It is published at a popular price, and is well worth the consideration of
every one interested in this wonderful subject of Reincarnation and Karma.
