Karmic Cycle
It is important to understand the Karmic Cycle so we can determine the ways to stop and get rid of our karmas
Asrava - Inflow/Bonding of Karma
Bandha - Characteristics of Karma • Samvar-Stopping of acquiring new Karma
• Nirjara - Shedding/Removing of already acquired Karma Once we have the awareness/understanding of Asrava - we can determine the ways to stop new karmas Two main reasons for bondage of new karmas are Mithyatva (ignorance/wrong belief) and Kashaya (anger, ego, greed, deceit, like, dislike) Once we have the awareness/understanding of Samvar and Nirjara - we can determine the ways to stop and shed karmas Spirituality teaches that life is my response to what happens to me. Life is not what happens to me (events, what people do) Our Ultimate Goal is to Free Ourselves of all Karmas
We don't know what karmas we have so the best thing to do is remind ourselves of the true nature of our soul - Pure, Peaceful, Compassionate, Happy, Loving, Strong
