Unc, Sin then Karma? Or karma which creates the sin. Vicious cycle as the Samskaras form from repetition according to Vasishta. I do not understand how this all works. I only know what I have absorbed from scripture and what my Sadguru says. Whether it is through the knowledge He reveals or personal intervention, I know not. Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji makes it very clear that I must face my karma. Somehow in the machinations Sadguru softens the blows and remains the anchor. Without any doubt this has been made clear. Hari Om Tat Sat ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
