Karma quotes:
.

“As the heat of a fire reduces wood to ashes, the fire of knowledge [jnana] burns to ashes all karma.”
~ Bhagavad Gita

“As you get closer to awakening there will be many upheavals in your life. Due to the fact, all of the karma is coming to you at once. That’s how it affects some people, not everyone. All of your karma that would take many incarnations to get rid of is coming to you all at one time. That’s why there appears to be upheavals in your life.”
~ Robert Adams

“If you plant a cactus, how will you reap mangoes?”
~ Kabir

“The Ordainer controls the fate of souls in accordance with their prarabdha karma (destiny to be worked out in this life, resulting from the balance sheet of actions in past lives). Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.”
~ Ramana Maharshi

🎼🎵🎶🎶 RESONATING FAITH
The reason that singing in a room with good acoustics is a much more enjoyable experience than singing in a soundproof room is that, in a soundproof room, your voice does not return to you. It goes outward, is absorbed, and does not come back. In a room with good acoustics, however, what you release returns, and your voice sounds that much more full, complete, and powerful because of it.

It is the same with faith. A faith that we never release or let go of is like singing in a soundproof room. It is a rather underwhelming experience and feels painfully flat and empty. When you hold loosely to your faith, however, and choose to let it go, all while trusting that it will return to you in a more beautiful form, you experience the phenomenon of resonance. It does return eventually, only it returns in a far more dynamic form than the one you released.

Don’t be afraid to let go. A faith that you cannot release is a faith that will fall flat. But a faith you can release, and let go of, is a faith that will always return and resonate.
~Jeff Turner

THE VERY ORDEAL(S) YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH OR ARE GOING THROUGH may have been absolutely necessary to break the hypnotic world belief of karma (rewards & punishment for acts from previous incarnations).

I NEVER BELIEVED IN KARMA – didn’t know what it was or why I should care about it – and still don’t, except for this: it’s a very strong, long cherished false world belief that needs more than ignorance of its so-called power and presence to destroy its overall influence in our lives.

We need no longer be afraid to face the dastardly claims of Karmic law in order to adequately dispense with the hold it has had through the centuries. Its antidote lies in truly knowing (a) its claims and (b) the spiritual fact that it has no place whatsoever in the realm of Spirit, God. Karma can make its bold assertions all it pleases but the bottom line – Truth – is that it’s the figment of a cosmic over-ripe imagination.
