LAZINESS AND THE LAW OF KARMA

  It might be said that one positive result of the pandemic is that we are much more aware that we cannot be lazy when it comes to our health—both from preventative and curative aspects. Vigilance is not a luxury right now. It is totally required.
Those who wish we could return to life as it was before 2020 likely have quite a long time to wait to see this unfold.
If we survive Covid-19, then we have Climate Change to deal with. The fallout from financial disturbances—and other lifestyle parameters—likewise present challenges that cannot be taken lightly.

So an increased reliance on SELF to navigate the troubled waters is prescribed for us all. The formerly respected and trusted pillars of our societies—governments, media, big business, banks, etc.—seem to have worn out their welcomes. We are thus left with little choice than to look within for answers. It may have always been this way, but its truth is now staring at us without respite.
As Homa Organic Farming suggests that we grow our own food, make our own folk remedies and such, the role of the individual takes on significantly greater import. Big Pharma does not market Agnihotra Ash—no profit in it. We must make our own healing ash.
(Perhaps later we might study whether things might have turned out differently if the Garden of Eden apple had been Homa Organic.)

In Vedic writings, performance of daily sunrise and sunset Agnihotra is something we are told to do, in part to replace what we have taken from the planet. Think of it as spiritual and material Carbon Offset. The two concepts seem quite similar actually. To say the least, doing Agnihotra is very good karma. In today’s ‘risky world,’ risk aversion takes on a more serious approach. Add to this the plethora—bombardment actually—of information, disinformation, misinformation, conspiracy theories, ad nauseam, it may not be surprising for one’s mantra to morph into, “What ever should I do”?

Certainly Homa Therapy—a derivation from Vedas—helps with intuition especially in grey areas when knowing which way to turn defies easy analysis or even clear awareness of feelings. But, as the snake oil and electric blender salesmen like to say, “That’s not all folks.’ It is one thing to know what to do; it is quite another to summon up the willpower and tenacity—and resistance to laziness—to do what you know is right to do. As in my recent story of the dog attacking me when I knew I was in the wrong place, pursuing less than noble intentions, etc., my hormones trumped my power of discrimination (or will power). The Law of Karma was conveniently forgotten—until the dog bit me.
