Well yes, am I glad I am no Mahatma...I would have those famous contradictions spelled on me every time I try to use the feeble English language to express a thought.. I am under the spell of Maya as most people are! But you will understand we all will work it out....on the Day With Us :-)

            Hi Martin, for me it shows contradicto intermines, iow   if one live 

in harmony with nature, than he cannot have karma, while I read here

the one becomes Karma for those who have not yet?????

with Nature, all illusion becomes One with Him. For a realised 

Buddha, there is no Karma of His own, so to speak...use your 

Intuition to understand what I just wrote...
