d.)  At last, at a most unexpected
moment the rebounding blow falls,
and he blames karma for punishing
him so unexpectedly
at the prime of
his life, when the punishment is
particularly painful, forgetting that
there
are many factors involved in the timing
of the karmic reaction
.


e.)  Egotistically,
man often believes
that he himself can decide the moment
at which karmic law should act
.


f.)  One asks why karma is so delayed,
another complains that it is too hasty,
but no one considers the complexity of
the circumstances of each event.


g.)  Some see the cosmic laws as
simplistic to the point of absurdity, while
others think of them as so complex and
ponderous that no action is possible.
How can one collaborate in such
extremes?
For Deeply Pondering:


(Agni Yoga, Supermundane, 316.):

1.)  Urusvati knows how some people
try to cheat the Law of Karma
. There
are people who do this in ignorance of
the law, but I am now talking about
those who know about it and defy it.


a.)  Imagine a criminal who, having
committed a crime, trembles in fear of
punishment.


b.)  
But when the days pass and
nothing happens
he becomes bolder
and decides that his crime was not
so bad after all, and that perhaps it
was justified by some higher law.


c.)  Eventually the criminal grows
impudent and scoffs [ridicules] at
karma, calling it an invention of
fools.
