________________ KARMA DOES NOT CRUSH 33 So long as . he lives carelessly, in a happy-go-lucky way, so long will he be like a man floating on a stream, struck by any passing log, blown aside by any casual breeze, caught in any chance eddy. This spells failute, misfortune, unhappiness. The law enables him to compass his aends successfully, and places within his reach forces which he can utilise. He can modify, change, remake on other lines the nature which is the inevitable outcome of his previous desires, thoughts, and actions; that future nature is as inevitable as the present, the result of the conditions which he now deliberately makes. “ Habit is second nature,” says the proverb, and thought creates habits. Where there is Law, no achievement is impossi.. ble, and katma is the guarantee of man's evolution into mental and moral perfection. We have now to • APPLY THIS LAW to ordinary human life, to apply principlePage Navigation
