Karma creates nothing, nor does it design anything. It is the human who plans, creates and causes, and it is the karmic law that adjusts the effects. Such adjustment is not an act, but it is universal harmony tending ever to resume its original position, which is equilibrium; it is the law of harmony in action. Karma recognizes that, while each of us is unique, the wholly isolated individual does not exist. Each life is intertwined with all of mankind's lives, and extends through ever-expanding circles of family, local, national and cosmic levels.

We, as individuals, under the sway of prakriti (nature or creation) create our own karma. And, it is the law of karma that moves to restore the original status-quo, of harmony, peace and equilibrium. And to regain this status quo, the balancing must be worked out through the same individual and to the same degree he upset the balance in the first place. So, it is by our own actions that we are the dispensers of our own gloom and glory.

When we become responsible for our own actions, which were a matter of our own choosing, we then accept karma, which always attempts to keep the balance. However, the human always seems to strive to put it out of balance. To the degree that humanity disturbs the karmic balance, this is the extent to which karmic action is intensified in the world. Hence, all problems in the world are man-made. However, many persons affected by this are seemingly innocent and not involved, yet in one way or another they are involved.

It is only when we gain enough wisdom and understanding that we will learn to live in conformity with nature and at peace with each other. We will then cease to cause unnecessary karma that throws us out of balance and makes us reap the misery we have so heedlessly sown.

When we finally balance reason and emotion by developing the full reasoning mind and culturing the heart, then and then only will we be at peace with the karmic laws, and nature will give us full support. Then, we will have moved into the New Age and heaven will indeed be on earth. Humanity will have matured and the God in man will be fully expressed and the eternal light will shine on this earth.
