(WR) Everyday Karma

When we read the Bhagavad-Gita, we discussed karma as a cosmic principle -- the idea that moral action functions much like matter and energy in a causal web. This commentary from Sunday's NY Times suggests a quotidian version of such causality with the sociological observation that generosity is often contagious. Thus perhaps, as we earlier discussed, we need not concern ourselves too much with the text's metaphysical claims, but attend rather to its robust practical insights. "If you want to live in a generous community, be more generous" is a useful karmic suggestion. %2F%3Faction%3Dclick%26region%3DMasthead%26pgtype%3DHomepage%26module%3DSearchSubmit%26contentCollection%3DHomepage%26t%3Dqry917%23%2Fpay%2520it%2520forward&_r=0
