Grace and Karma: Ends and Means

"Let no man say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God':
for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man..."
~ James 1:13

"The Old Testament is to Karma as The New Testament is to Grace."
~ Valentin Tomberg


Karma is earth's gravity,

and grace is outer space;

grace is not subject to karma.



As long as we remain focused on karma,

even "good karma", we won't be in grace;

we'll remain bound to the earth and incarnation.



Love the earth as your mother,

the womb, then leave her.



God does not want to give lessons,

God wants to give pure light.



He is the end, not the means.



But we try to find "Him" in the means;

we search instead of find.
