HYPNOTISM
In fact the object and the nature of the act may be put in different positions and may produce a certain number of permutuations, and in the same way there will be so many kinds of people that while riches may be the result of good Karma, if the act was done without any desire of doing good, the result will be different; a person without riches but with a good heart must have had a great desire for being charitable or liberal. But that desire alone will have its result. Such a person may acquire wealth, and he will still have the desire to do good to all people. To try to judge of the result of a single act is unwise. Human actions are so complicated and there are so many forces to take into consideration before arriving at any result that it would be dangerous to predict what would be the result of any act when taken by itself. In the law of Karma we must judge of an act from all standpoints.
