“Karmas” In Spiritual Consciousness

The soul creates its destiny according to the “karmas” or actions it
performs. “Vikarmas” or negative actions are those actions performed in
body-consciousness. “Sukarmas” or positive actions are those actions
performed in soul and Supreme Soul-consciousness. Given below is a list of
differences between the two:

Body Consciousness: The soul is influenced by any of the vices; principally
anger, greed, ego, lust or attachment.

Spiritual Consciousness: The soul brings its original qualities of peace,
power, purity, love and bliss into action.

Body Consciousness: The soul is unable to settle its past karmic accounts
and so karmic debts accumulate.

Spiritual Consciousness: The soul balances out its karmic debt and actually
begins to accumulate or store credit.

Body Consciousness: Actions cause sorrow and loss for the self and others in
contact.

Spiritual Consciousness: Actions fill the self and others with happiness and
peace.
“Vikarmas” or negative actions are those actions performed in
body-consciousness. “Sukarmas” or positive actions are those actions
performed in soul and Supreme Soul-consciousness. Given below are some more
differences between the two (we had explained a few yesterday):

Body Consciousness: Relationships become bondages (burdens) and causes of
sorrow rather than enjoyment.

Spiritual Consciousness: Relationships with others are purified and
elevated. There is no sense of bondage.

Body Consciousness: Conflicts, which can be called "clashes" of sanskaras,
occur between souls. There is negativity, sensitivity and disunity.

Spiritual Consciousness: Souls are able to harmonize with each other with
happiness and peace.

Body Consciousness: Actions are performed to attract or impress others by
the physical identity.

Spiritual Consciousness: Actions are performed to bring others also into
relationship with the Supreme Soul.

Body Consciousness: Charity performed for others has the shadow of ego and
has limited results.

Spiritual Consciousness: The highest charity of introducing other souls to
the Supreme Soul is performed selflessly through thoughts, words and
actions.
