"The
masters, since ancient times, have always emphasized that we walk
in beauty, we walk in virtues, and we walk in Truth. That is the
only safeguard for us, because whatever we do affects us right away.
Even if we do not understand, even if we try to deny it, even if
we try to avoid it, it will come eventually. Unless we forsake everything,
renounce the whole world, go into the Himalayas, sit in a cave all
alone, then probably nothing will happen to us. Nothing will happen
to us this life, but next life it will come, because whatever has
not been washed away will always be there.
Suppose
you dirty your shirt - there's a fleck on it. Then you try to avoid
looking at it, pretend that it didn't happen, pretend that the black
spot doesn't exist, and you just put the shirt away. Do you think
that it will disappear alone? The same with karma. Even if we try
to avoid the outcome of our last life's bad or good deeds and we
run away somewhere in a cave and sit there alone, next time we have
to come back and pay.
The
same with magical or psychic power. It can alter the situation,
it can postpone the phenomenon of bad luck just for a while; but
it's still there and it will come back later, maybe even stronger."

"Whatever
you do here or anywhere, eventually the benefit will come to you.
Whatever we do good to people, we think good about people, the benefit
eventually is ours. That's why I ask you to think positive, speak
positive, and do positive things. That's the only thing we should
do if you want any good out of this life, to balance, to make our
life better than before."
