Yep, it's the "supreme being" who did it. It was His fault, not mine. The gunas are run by Ishvara and in all cases beings follow their own nature - all at the command of the One. This is why we need the idea of a cosmic ruler - so we can remain blameless.
Those poor Buddhists. They don't have any karmic dispensation like we do. They can't say "god made me do it" because for them karma rules all. To bad, they can only blame themselves. Of course they don't have a self so in the end it all just happens on its own. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Rick Archer" <r...@...> wrote: > "The will of the supreme being cannot be transgressed.
