Wow, this is one of the most insightful descriptions of the fight between ego, authority and master I’ve ever seen. Beautiful.

Yes, Karma comes from Karman.
Kama without the (r) is loveliness , beauty , radiance.
My mistake.

Preetam, I disagree with you entirely, because I see karma as having nothing to do whatsoever with love. How could an entirely mechanical process have anything to do with love? Karma rules dispassionately and as Buddha says it is one of the four imponderables. You cannot figure it out with your mind and if you try it will throw the mind into an infinite loop.
Your comment beginning with ‘The mechanic…’ sounds quite profound but I don’t see it is such and might be borrowed from somewhere from someone who actually knows what they are talking about but in practical terms one can ask what does that mean to me as a human being? A bit lofty if you ask me. One thing’s for sure you…you can deny the existence of karma but you cannot deny that doing so is just part of your karma. And so it goes.
Shantam, your syringe comment is a bit obscure. Are you on ketamine or something like that?

Better not, I’m a bit afraid you want me to discriminate, because came from Qo´noS for visiting Osho straight 30 years ago.

The mechanic I can see only within the Self. Karma to me is a misunderstood interpretation of Love because of our Unawareness.

Few people like Lokesh are so much concerned about the size of the syringe, my suggestion is in case of some medical need, they should go to Veterinary doctor instead of GP. Injections used for horses and bulls can provide them speedy and lasting relief!

When someone shoots quite wise words, as Preetm has done in the above post, I become curious to know a bit biographical details of that person.
For example, Preetam is Preetam Singh or some Preetam Kapoor from India or he is some Peter becoming Preetam due to some Living Indian Master from South India?!
(South Indians are ruling the guru business right now and have special kindergarten for Western adults)
So Preetam, please share some introductory note about you.

Personally speaking, I’ve seen much in life that suggests karma, a force I see as insentient and mechanical, exists. This has nothing to do with suspicion as such. Karma also moves in the present mechanically and has nothing to do with past lives and that is why it is called instant karma. John Lennon wrote a song about it and like the great bard said, ‘Instant Karma’s gonna get you, Gonna knock you off your feet.’ I agree.
