I will try one more — LAST TIME!(hint)

Please TRY to grasp the concept that one word may be substituted for a-n’o-t-h-e-r w-o-r-d.

O K? Alright? are we ‘clear? Do you Understand?

I will repeat just in case you missed it the first time.

Please TRY to grasp the concept that one word may be substituted, exchanged, put in place of, be synonymous with: and still retain the same meaning.

Do you know what a synonym is?

The Sanskrit word Karma is equal to; identical to, interchangeable with, synonymous with: the following English words.

Repeat:

The Sanskrit word Karma is equal to; identical to, interchangeable with, synonymous with: the following English words.

One more time:

KARMA IS EQUAL TO THE FOLLOWING ENGLISH WORDS.

‘ACTION’; to ‘ACT’; ‘CAUSE’ (as opposed to effect)to ‘DO’
perform a ‘DEED”(good or bad)to SOW (as opposed to reap)

Now you may not like the word karma so my suggestion to you would be: don’t use it!

If others use the word improperly you NOW know the true meaning.

Master, what ‘karmas’ must I ‘perform’ to inherit eternal life?”

Rabbi, what ‘deeds’ must I ‘do’ to inherit eternal life?”

Teacher, what ‘actions’ must I ‘take’ to inherit EVERLASTING life?”

Preceptor, what must I ‘Do’ to inherit eternal life?

Got it? Grasp it? Understand it?

SO LET’S TRY THIS AGAIN:

And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I ****DO**** to inherit eternal life?”

NOTE: WHAT ACTIONS (in Sanskrit;karmas )MUST I TAKE to inherit eternal life?”

And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?”

And he answered and said, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

Jesus replied and said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho; and he fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went off leaving him half dead”

“And by chance a certain priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”

“And likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.”

“But a certain Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,”

“and came to him, and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.’

“And on the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return, I will repay you.’”

“Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”

And he said, “the one who showed mercy toward him.” And Jesus said to him, “Go and ****DO*** the same.”

Now, as I said, if you don’t like the word karma — which translates as action or deed: don’t use it!

Have a nice day!
