#464 Karma
Inspired by: Ralph Waldo EmersonDiscuss this Big Idea in the Forums!
"Cause and effect, means and ends, seed and fruit, cannot be severed; for the effect already blooms in the cause, the end preexists in the means, the fruit in the seed."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, 19th century Transcendental philosopher
Karma. In Sanskrit, the word literally means “act, or action” but has the deeper meaning denoting the entire cycle of cause and effect.
Emerson hits the essence of karma elegantly (as he tends to do) in his brilliant essay Compensation. (Get it free online here.)
Every act, every word, every thought plants a seed.
Are you aware of that?
And are you looking forward to reaping what you’re currently sowing?
Let’s become aware of the seeds we’re planting.
And plant the ones we want to see blossom!
