As you sow, so shall you reap

The law of cause and effect, or karmic law, is the principle that as you sow, so shall you reap.

Karma forms an integral part of the subtle body and exists in the subtle body in an impression form. So karma, which is action, transforms itself into impressions which we call samskaras. Thus by thought, we produce action, and by action we revert back to thought.

There is no short-cut to get out of karma.

It is only the integrated person that could develop strength. When we have to repay our karma, it becomes much easier when we have this strength.

Karma is controlled by man himself. If your tendencies are to move in a certain direction, you can by your own thinking or by your own right action and devotion, change the tendency.
