Karma: The Elephant in YOUR Room | Philip A. Farruggio

One of the greatest books this writer has ever read was Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda.
This man was part mystic, teacher, philosopher and Yogi who those that experienced him saw as a living saint. He once taught Mahatma Gandhi Kriya Yoga, and understood that this 3rd dimension we live in is nothing more than a dream or grand drama that each of us creates. The key point of his philosophy was that our essence, or soul and spirit, lives on after we pass the doorway of death
and the only thing that matters in this drama is how we think, feel and finally act.
Thus, Karma is created and it is the only judge we must face. Karma is defined as "The total effect of a persons actions and conduct during the successive phases of his existence." Better yet, the more common explanation of Karma is "As ye sow so shall you reap." In Brooklyn we used to say "What goes around comes around."
I was all set to sit down and write this new column, when one of my readers, Bob G, sent me something about the German anti Nazi patriot and martyr, clergyman Dietrich Bonheoffer. One of Bonheoffers famous quotes was "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. He knew, as few of us here in Amerika understand, that if enough Germans had stood up to the Nazi party before they took over, they never would have succeeded. One realizes that once the Nazis took power in 1933, it was much more difficult to protest
their machinery of repression was already working. Men like Bonheoffer did what they could to undermine and subvert the Nazi horror, as did the White Rose group that Sophie Scholl and her brother belonged to.
