Hari Om,

Pranaam from CMB Devis.

Our group discussion to the cause and effect question is as follows:

Some examples of case and effects: Think of a jewelry piece. The quality of the piece is totally dependent upon the material, (diamond vs copper) and other resources (workmanship) used in the making the jewelry. We all understand this and is easy to accept.

Some other examples that are easier to accept: If I study hard (cause), I get better results in exam (effect); If I eat and exercise (cause) I am assured of a healthy me (effect). If I drive safe (cause); I have less to worry(effect).

But when it comes to human interaction, if the cause is in the effect, I myself is the reason why someone treats me indifferently or behaves in a way that I do not appreciate, which is very hard to accept since I would prefer not to put the blame on me. There could be something that I did/ or haven’t done that the other person doesn’t like. But I want to always think that I am right and everything I did is correct and cannot comprehend the other person’s behavior. In these situations, though I know cause is in the effect, I seem to forget it and if someone tries to point out I get more angry.

In summary, think about long term and enjoy this life when we understand that cause pervades the effect and the more we realize this, it will be easier to surrender.

With Love and Respect,

CMB Devis.
