KARMA
A Study in Karma
by
Annie Besant
Published in 1917
The
Pair of Triplets
Thus we have three factors in spirit for the creation
of Karma, and three corresponding qualities in matter, and we must study these
in order to make our Karma that which we would have it be. We may study them in
any order, but for many reasons it is convenient to take the cognitive factor
first, because in
that lies the power of knowledge and of choice. We can
change our desires by the use of thought, we cannot change our thoughts, though
we may colour them, by desire; so, in the final analysis action is set in
motion by thought.
In the earliest stages of savagery as with the newly
born infant action is caused by attractions and repulsions. But almost
immediately memory comes in, the memory of an attraction, with the wish to
re-experience it; the memory of a repulsion, with the wish to avoid it. A thing
has given pleasure, it is remembered, i.e., thought about, it is desired,
action to grasp it follows.
The three cannot really be separated, for there is no
action which is not preceded by thought and desire, and which does not again
set them going, after it is performed. Action is the outer sign of the
invisible thought and desire, and in its very accomplishment gives birth to a
fresh thought and desire. The three form a circle, perpetually retraced.
