You have been told that you will go to hell if you accumulate sins and to heaven if you gain merits. I tell you, society simply uses these concepts to control you through fear of hell and greed of heaven. When you are caught in fear, naturally you are ready to do what society tells you. You are no longer master of yourself. You are under the control of society. There is no hell or heaven existing physically somewhere. Hell and heaven are psychological states of your mind.
When you think good thoughts,
when you do good deeds, you
feel good and you are in heaven.
When you think evil, when you
act evil, you feel evil and you are
in hell. That is all there is to
karma. This is the cosmic cause-
and-effect principle. You are
what your intent is. You become
what your intent is. If you create
thoughts, words or actions that
do not emanate from deep
awareness but from a superficial
layer, then you create karma that
further propels you to fulfill
those superficial thoughts, words
or actions.
