Every action will have equivalent impact whether in this life or later :

When the soul departs from body after death, it takes with it a load of character or Gunas by the activities so far gone through.

This principle is key to understanding the apparent uncertainties of life and the lack of perfect correlation between input and output.

At the same time, this principle of cause and effect teaches us that we ourselves are responsible for what happens to us, whether or not we understand how.

It follows that we can change what happens to us by changing ourselves; we can take our destiny into our own hands.

It also encourages ethical action with the realization that every action will have equivalent impact whether in this life or later.


This separateness is fed by our ego and attachment to senses.

Ego creates a false impression that we are separate.

The more we feed the ego (“I am the doer”) more the sense of separateness grows.

Senses take us further away from self and towards attachment by making us a slave of desires.

Gita puts it beautifully – “just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is obscured by dust, just as the embryo rests deep within the womb, knowledge is hidden by selfish desire.”


Conquering jealousy requires an honest conversation about how you feel.

It's far healthier to talk about your negative feelings than to reveal them through your actions.

The more you communicate with them, and seek reassurance the more your feelings of jealousy will subside.
