काया खेत किसान मन, पाप-पुन्न दो बीव I बोया लुनै आपना, काया कसकै जीव II
Karma is about how to live our lives so we can truly become the best version of ourselves and live the most fulfilling life we desire. In a way Karma is a system of justice in which one is rewarded for good karma and punished for bad ones. Everything we do is recorded in the Karmic accounts. There is a strict accounting of our every thought, word and deed. It is wise to make sure that we do not commit any actions, thoughts or words that can rebound to us with consequence. Instead, we must have thoughts, words, and deeds that are good so that good can come back to us. Karma is like opening a bank account. We have choices on how much money we want to put in to add to our balance or how much we wish to withdraw. We can choose to put different investments that result in interest to increase what we have available in our account. The choice is ours to make. Similarly, we have a Karmic account. Each day we can choose whether we want to engage in thoughts, words, and deeds that are going to result in good that comes back to us. We can also engage in thoughts, words, and deeds, for which we must pay the consequences. The choice is ours. Beyond creating good and bad Karmic accounts, we can also choose to do things that create a balance of zero so that we do not have to return to this world to either reap the benefits or pay the consequences.
"Kabir says, the mind and the body is like a farmer that sows seeds of Karma in the field. We can choose only our actions but we cannot choose the consequences of our actions. Whatever thoughts or energy you put out, you get back - good or bad. In order to get what you want, you have to embody and be worthy of those things, for what you reap, you sow. You are the co-creator of making what you want, based on your intentions. Do good and good will come to you. Life is like an echo. What you send out comes back. What you sow, you reap; what you give, you get."
