does suffering and enjoyment have any bearing on the previous life and deeds of present life does suffering enjoy and enjoyment have any bearing on the previous life and deeds of present life you are talking about reincarnationship and also that implied the word Karma cause and effect Karma I've Been Told the root meaning of that word is action may we go into this question seriously want to go into it not the others have not been serious what is action means to be acting right not I have acted or will act action means no right action implies
it's for most people a past remembrance emotive or a future intention or future idea and so on either the policy is directing shaping the action or the future shaping the action right so that's not action I wonder if you see this right action means the doing active present but the active presence is denied when you have a motive a cause for action and future Acts so you're really when you depend on the future or in the past you are not acting I wonder if you see this for most of us acting is based on memory
and emotive let's be quite clear and honest about it I'd flatter you because I want something out of you I love you because you have give me something and so you play this game now the question I lost have I lived on this Earth before and because I haven't done things properly lost life therefore I'm suffering now and if I understand what is Right action now next I'd rather better chance a better house a better wife better refrigerators now this really really serious question I don't know we should go into this what is this self
what is the eye that says I must continue that there is a continuity from the past through the present to the Future that's one thing then the other is the cause effect which is part of karma I have shown certain sea good or bad and that flowers smells bad or good and the effect is that now is cause permanent and the effect also permanent or the effect becomes the cause right and that has another effect which then becomes the cause so causation is a movement right I wonder if you understand it's rather interesting for going
to be carefully the cause is I suffer from disease one of the causes I suffer I suppose I'm bad stomach because I beat the wrong food drank too much and so on so if I don't eat properly the effect is pale then I say that pain must be controlled I take a pill but the cause still goes on because I'm eating wrong food so there is the continuity of course and a superficial effect right but if I see the cause as eating raw food I'll change it the effect is head healthy is not a result
it is living properly I don't know if you follow this logically it is only so your cause is never permanent or the effect the effect becomes the cause and so you say hey it's a movement and the question really there is if you're interested can this movement stop you understand this movement which is cause effect effect becoming cold and so on and this movement is of time naturally right so I'm asking is the causation need to be any causation for action foreign is there an action that's safe for itself not for something to understand that
I have to go into the question of reward and Punishment the human being lives on this principle revolved and Punishment like all animals do right if you have had a dog you reward him and he does something properly then you say come to heal and you gradually train him through reward and Punishment giving him a biscuit when he comes and you don't give him a biscuit when he doesn't so he learns that to depend on reward and Punishment and then gradually says come to heal he does you follow and on the same principle we walk
I am done properly this life or past life I'm paying for it now but next time I'll be rewarded for behave properly right so it's reward and Punishment same principle now can you and live without emote without this principle of reward and Punishment go into his seat see what what are the implications of it not reincarnation we'll go into that later it's a very trivial matter at least for the speaker it's not I won't go into it now because one has to go into this question what is continuity what is ending and what is it
that continues you don't say these three things are in play which takes some time to go into we'll do it in the next two talks so I'm we're asking is there action without cause go into itself see extraordinary interesting it is not just whether whether you believe in reincarnation that's rather silly but to find out an action which has no cause which has no mood which has no self-interest if there is self-interest is limited if there is a motive it is still further limitation so action is never complete and therefore brings problems because you're doing
politically is there an action per se for itself there is love love has no motive love has no reward no punishments left when there is that quality of Love there is right action right action is not born out of clever thought right action takes place when there is this sense of holistic love not I can love my wife and love mankind because he's loved he's not loved one and denied to the others I wanted to understand that's real compassion and when there is that compassion there is intelligence and that intelligence has no opposite to it
