KARMAThe law of causation and interaction between the
higher and lower planes to bring about equilibrium between them and
gradually raise the soul. It binds the lower Self to the Higher, and
arises through the union of the will with knowledge of a moral
standard involving choice. It estimates the experience of the ego
and is expressed in effects (treasure in heaven) on the buddhic
plane. It relates to the process underlying spiritual evolution and
adjustment upon the higher planes. As the soul goes forth into the
life of experience, so upon each succeeding level the account is
squared, as it were, so that each successive stage carries it to its
relatively appointed place. This idea underlies all religions, and
the Christian who looks for compensation in heaven, or fears
punishment in hell, is holding crudely and unintelligently the truth
that what we sow here we reap the result of upon entering the next
state. The spiritual law of cause and effect in the soul is made to
yield just and right results, so that throughout evolution perfect
balance between higher and lower is maintained, and the outcome of
it all is stored away in the soul's inner being. As long as the
lower nature remains, karma is incurred, but when the lower nature
is put away, then the “fruits of the spirit” are reaped by the ego
on the buddhic plane.
