This is high
teaching, little understood or taught about, and a mystery which overpasses
the parameters of ego. To say that Love has no karmic action attached to it and
just is what it is, refutes all
reasoning and intent. It is the highest experience we can give and share, and
it shall qualify and fulfill the lover in the very moment that they experience
that loving, but it will not go any further to command such love to come again.
In other words its consequence to
become realized is in the living moment and no other.
Now, everything else which is
actionable within our daily sphere of being does have a karmic redress.
Therefore we may assume that one way or another a man will make good that which
he does in any given life. He shall grow to learn the consequences of his deeds
and thus be egoicly fulfilled. It takes care of itself - experience will
teach with a strong coercion, which is effectively in the best interests of
that individual.
One’s
own personal karma is instigated internally
rather than by external, causal means. Although actions in the world and
karmic recall imply that it is an outer process belonging to exterial and
exoteric law, it is in point of fact negotiated
and commenced inwardly.
Karmic
experience is a kindness in that it answers all needs in individuals, needs
proven to exist by their conduct and their inexperience. An inept sympathetic
nerve requires attunement, and it is by the dictates of the compelling laws within a man that he will be brought to
the circumstances most advantageous to his learning. Laws without his being
cannot know this and permissibly take advantage.
Every
movement of life - within the thought-world or manifest in the actual -
entitles Karma. Yet Love itself does not. There may be expressions of this Love
which invoke some kind of karmic recall, however, the Love itself is not
refundable.
What
this means to say is that as students who acknowledge this truth we may go out
into the world with the purest of motives when we are loving best ... sincerely
understanding that this alone (when heartfelt and actual) is for the sake of
its own sake within the moment, and that we are given no investiture because of
it.
And so we may love unselfishly.

When we speak of karma, we mean that which as cause in the one life has its effect in the next. In terms of cause and effect we cannot, however, speak truly of love; we cannot speak of a deed of love and its eventual compensation. True, if there is a deed, there will be compensation, but this has nothing to do with love. Deeds of love do not look for compensation in the next life.
