A Life of Love and Right Action

A spiritual discourse and Q and A session on living a life of love, karma, and right action.

"Awaken love in your heart for all creatures; that would be the best."

"Karma cannot be transferred with organs, because karma affects the individual soul and not particular organs."

A speaker addresses questions from attendees on practical spirituality, covering how to fill one's life with positive thinking, the nature of self-love versus love for others, and the mechanics of karma in relation to organ donation. The dialogue expands into topics of creation, liberation, and the essential principle of causing no pain to others through thought, word, or deed.

One person awoke one day with a question: how to fill the day, the year, the week, the month of his life with positive thinking, selfless thinking, and to remember God and prayer in all free moments. Awaken love in your heart for all creatures; that would be the best. Be nice to your husband. That is some of the best karma you can do: if you are kind enough to your husband, or very kind and nice to your wife, and very kind and nice to your parents, and have a loving heart and mercy for your children, and have very good relations, friendly relations, positive relations with your colleagues. And be faithful and work faithfully for your boss. That is life, a positive life, so please give this message to him. Thank you. Dear Swāmījī, please tell me, why do people, and I mean especially me, see more the negative sides in themselves than the positive? How can I increase my love for myself? It doesn't matter if you love yourself or not; that doesn't disturb us. The main thing is that you love others. When you begin to love yourself, you will become selfish. So tell yourself you don't need love, because you have love. Then this love you should give to others; when others will be happy, then you will be so happy that you are loving yourself. All of us, we have so much love, and we are searching for some object where we can demonstrate or reflect our love. But sometimes we don't find the right object, because often love is not accepted, or it is not taken seriously, and that disturbs you then. So there is one who will never reject our love, and that's God, and that God is in the form of all creatures; they will accept your love very much. So, loving others means loving yourself. And not loving others means you don't love yourself. See yourself in others; be kind, be humble, be merciful, be generous. Do to others what you would like to do for yourself. Možete li mi, molim Vas, odgovoriti da li se prenosi karma i što se događa ako se u slučaju smrti neke osobe daruju njeni organi i presade? Can you tell me, please, if karma can be transmitted to someone else, and what is happening if someone dies and the organs are donated to someone else and transplanted? Karma cannot be transferred with organs, because karma affects the individual soul and not particular organs; the body suffers with the soul, and when you donate an organ, or you receive some organ from another body, very soon your body adopts that organ. And your energy flows into that organ; as a karmic, to see as a karmic, biologically it's different; some infections, viruses, that can affect your body, but not the karmic. Then there is a question: is the self, is my self God? And why was this world created? And you said that on the global plan, this world will always stay the same. In which way can the creatures gain liberation? Creatures. Creatures, it's all creatures; your self is not God. But you are a part of it, the essence of it. Second: why was this world created? Why this world was created, you must ask the creator and not me. He created this world so that you can be here today with me. If He will not create this world, then you can't be with me today. So the creation is going on, yugas and yugas; it's coming and going. It's good that God created the world; we love our world. We love our planet; we like to be here. And we are happy; the way to liberation is love for God, devotion, and leading a positive, pure, humble life. Don't cause pain or trouble to anyone. Through your body, through your mind, through your words, through your actions, don't cause anyone any kind of unhappiness or pain. Before doing something, think it over, long, long. And if you don't know what to do, then ask someone who is wiser, not them, those who will misuse your trust, your trust. Otherwise, it's not only you who are in trouble, but many can be in trouble.
