The nature of karma and karmic law has already been touched upon earlier: it is part of the scheme of salvation for mankind and cannot be avoided or annulled by any action on the part of any being, whether in physical form or in a higher form.

The karmic necessity requires that any action which results in pain, suffering or harm to another being must be discharged and set aside through an experience of equivalent suffering or pain on the part of the individual responsible for that action.

The men of the east were told of the karmic law many thousands of years ago, and have retained general comprehension of it. But many born into the eastern cultures have misconstrued this great law to mean that one should not interfere with the karmic destiny of another, either to hinder or to help him in his endeavours. This has been a grievous error in understanding, for it has allowed a continuation of suffering and pain where this might have been alleviated. The very action of refusing to help in such circumstances brings its own karmic consequences upon the person refusing.

Early in the Christian era, those in charge of the Christian message pondered the question of whether to teach the ancient truths of karma and rebirth to the members of the fledgling Christian church. After much debate, the church fathers decided to exclude these teachings. The reason for this decision was their observation of the philosophical error into which the people of the eastern culture had fallen. This is why the Christian teaching emphasizes above all else the commandment to serve one’s brother in any way possible. For through this service it is possible not only to set aside one’s karmic burden, but to lift the load from the shoulders of another.
