Taking responsibility...

There's this campaign going on in Denmark where I live asking people to take more responsibility for what they do... and when I see it, I think like... "hello... is anybody home?"

Obviously the people behind the campaign never heard about the Law of Karma. You know, the great law of cause and effect. The law that says - whatever you do, it's going to come back to you! Yes, that's the great law. So it's not really a question of taking responsibility for what you do. You don't have a choice. Whatever you do, it's going to come back to you. Every little thing. Every little word, thought, action. It's all creating the life we live and the life we share with our fellow human beings.

With this awareness, we understand that how we make and eat our breakfast, what we buy and throw out, how we treat our friends and neighbours, what we give our time and energy to... yes everything, all of it, it's all our statement about how we believe life should be lived here on earth.

Living each day as mindfully as we possibly can with the intention of contributing to the good of all in each now moment... that seems to me to be the sanest way of all... and to remember the words from the Bhagavad Gita "They live in wisdom, Who see themselves in all and all in them..."

That about says it all!
