Good, loving ac\u00adtions bring to us lovingness through others. Mean, selfish acts bring back to us pain and suffering. Kindness pro\u00ad\u00adduces sweet fruits, called pu\u1e47\u00adya. Unkindness yields spoiled fruits, called p\u0101pa. As we mature, life after life, we go through much pain and joy. Actions that are in tune with dharma help us along the path, while adhar\u00admic actions impede our progress. The di\u00advine law is: whatever karma we are experiencing in our life is just what we need at the moment, and nothing can happen but that we have the strength to meet it. Even harsh karma, when faced in wisdom, can be the greatest catalyst for spiritual un\u00adfold\u00adment. Performing daily s\u0101dhana, keeping good company, pilgrimaging to holy places, seeing to others\u2019 needs\u2014these evoke the higher en\u00adergies, direct the mind to useful thoughts and avoid the cre\u00adation of trou\u00adble\u00adsome new karmas.
