Charging [creation of new karma] is under ‘your’ control and discharge [disposal of karma] is in nature’s control. Therefore, if you want to charge, charge positively. Whatever you have charged, nature will not refrain from discharging.

About This Quote

If you want to charge, charge positively. Whatever you have charged, nature will not refrain from discharging. In the quote above, the Buddha is suggesting that how we deal with karma is directly related to what we do to create or discharge it. If we refuse to take responsibility for our actions and instead blame karma, we are creating a situation where we can feel helpless and hopeless. But if we work hard to accept our mistakes and change our behavior, we create a situation where nature will not hesitate to clean up the mess that was created.
