| If you change the world changes Have you heard those words before? How is it possible? Please ask the above question to whoever says those words you will be surprised at their answer. When you change the world changes,sounds whimsical, a nice thing to say in religious gatherings to look good and to talk the talk, nevertheless, in the understanding of those words lies the perception of a greater reality, greater understanding which if truly understood, could change our own life. Would you like an explanation? Here it goes. In a basic understanding of the law of karma, (action) we can understand that if do something, there will be a repercussion which will be experienced by me. That is why in this basic understanding all we care about is about me. If I do this, will I get any bad karma back? If I open karmic accounts now, would that be bad for me? Would go to heaven if my actions are good? The above only strengthens the personality of which is separated from everything else. No? Do you ever feel alone? Yes? Then, see thatseparation. If we observe carefully (as explained in many writings before,) we are interdependent of one another. How is that? You exist because your parents existed. You exist because there is oxygen, water, sunshine, food, everything else which in our individualistic mind we see as separate. Even though there is a fact of interdependence, our consciousness only perceives separation. That is why basic understanding of the law of karma only strengthens the i-ness and my-ness ideas. When that concept of separation is gone, there isoneness.No the duality of you and me, but oneness in that interdependence. You exist because I exist. Therefore, there is no other. What do, is done to myself. If we take the reality of interdependence into the law of karma; what do is done to everything else, for am one with everything,as a fact, not as a nice phrase to repeat. am interdependent with everything else. We areoneness. That is how the world changes when change,for is truly the world.As a matter of fact, once that is over, then there is only the world, without further labeling to separate things. Let us say that Paras throws garbage in the river. Paras forgot to dispose of the garbage and he thought that by getting rid of it, now, his house will smell alright and he could be alright as well. Paras didnt want to bother his neighbor by dumping his trash into their waste basket. Paras was afraid of being caught or to ask but the river was nearby. Paras planned to dump his garbage when there was no one around. The river cannot hit back nor lawsuit him for dumping trash. Nothing to fear, Paras thought. That river was a source of sustenance for many species. Fish, plants, even people who used that river in different ways. That garbage became food for many species in a very unnatural way, bringing disease to some of them which in turn where nourishment for bigger fish. A fisherman caught several fish to be sold in the nearby market. Paras bought a couple of those fish. Paras eat his own garbage but at the same time, others did.Other species where influenced by Parass actions and there were consequences which Paras was completely unaware of. If Paras changes his consciousness, that change will have some effect in Parass environment and closer individuals around him. Paras is not changing others but Paras is merely changing his own self-extension, that is, those who are part of his life. That is how we can see that a truly spiritual individual cannot live in isolation. Whatever he does, he says, he thinks all of that affects everything else, which will be experienced by everyone else the world. Then, we can see that any religious separation or any sort of man made boundaries such as casts, ethnic origin, gender, language, creed, beliefs, traditions, all of that only strengthen the sense of belonging to a group which is only a part of the whole thing. A sinner exists because exist. the one who labels, the ones who judges, the one who separates. If wasnt there; then a sinner wouldnt exist. We could put this in another way: A saint exists only because a sinner exists. The world exists only because exist. What the world does is because do. -- Your Divine Friend DR.BK.Satyanarayan
