KARMA
A Study in Karma

Nation
With regard to national environment, the knower of
karma must carefully study the national conditions into which he is born, in
order to see whether he is born therein chiefly to develop qualities in which
he is deficient, or chiefly to help his nation by qualities well developed in
himself. In times of transition, many egos may be born into a nation, with
qualities of the type of
required in the new conditions into which that nation
is passing.
Thus, in America, which will presently develop the beginnings
of a Commonwealth in which cooperation shall replace competition, there have
been born a number of egos of vast organising ability, of highly developed will
power, and keen commercial intelligence; they have created Trusts,
organisations of industry built with consummate ability, manifesting the
economical advantages of doing away with competition, of controlling production
and supply, of meeting, but not
over-meeting, demand. They have thus opened the way to
cooperative production and distribution, and prepared for a happier future.
Soon will be born the egos who will see in the securing of the comfort of the
nation a greater stimulus
than personal gain, and they will complete the
transition process; the one set have gathered into a head the forces of
individualism; the other set will bend these forces to the common good.
Thus is environment governed by karma, and by a
knowledge of law the desired environment may be created. If it grips us when
once called into being, it is none the less ours to decide what that being
shall be. Our power over that future environment is now in our hands, for its
creator is the activities of the present.
