If the cause does not exist, the effect is not generated

It is important when talking about the law of cause and effect to discover that there is a useful approach to not generate non-edifying karma.

In fact, it is considered that not remaining attentive to the law of cause and effect is a wrong point of view.

generate favorable conditions…

The above is not an assessment that should be used to label us or to separate us, it is rather to understand, that not being attentive to karma affects us to the extent that we do not know if we are acting constructively and in some way to ensure that we are sowing actions to reap auspicious conditions in the future ... that is how if we remain vigilant we are investing in a better present, future and even for other lives in the case of all those who believe in rebirth.

Being aware that everything we do, say and think has an effect that forces us in some way to plan or manage our performance wisely .

When it is affirmed that if the cause does not exist, the effect is not generated, it has to do with full attention in our behavior and daily performance . For example, they will not speak ill of us if we do not speak ill of others, etc.

It is no coincidence is causality….

When in the course of our lives we observe fortunate and not so pleasant events, we can be sure of something and that is not by chance … in fact it is causality, we certainly generate that result.

There are approaches to purify in some way the negative karma that we have accumulated, however, it does not disappear at all in the best case it blooms in a diminished way, if we generate repentance and restitution of the damage.

If we do not want to be purifying and repenting continually, it is best not to generate the destructive causes of our actions.

Shila or Ethical Conduct ...

An indispensable tool is that of Shila or ethical conduct, in this there are precepts or commandments (according to the religion or spiritual current in question) that protect us from acting in a harmful way.

Among the most common precepts and commandments are: not taking what is not freely given or not stealing, not lying, not taking the lives of other beings or not killing .as can vary from five b Only up to two hundred in the case of technical votes to cite an example.

At the beginning it is difficult to frame our behavior or actions to pre-established action guidelines, however, by observing that the result of being aware of our actions is peace and tranquility, we understand that it is a company that should be adopted or a responsible attitude towards life that protects and directs us towards well-being.

Another approach is to bring the calm and conscious state of meditation to the post-meditation which is basically our daily life and to apply it it is necessary to have achieved stability at least in the anapanasathi, shamatha or sustained attention as this presupposes that we are aware of what we do, say and think.

sustained attention.

What we are attacking with these tools is not to generate a non-edifying cause that can become uncomfortable or difficult in the future.

The key is to be vigilant in our performance because this protects us.

If we focus on being careful not to generate the cause, we will be able to observe edifying flourishes in what we do such as peace, sincere and genuine friends, contact with important teachers, economic prosperity or the love of those around us all as a result of acting constructive.

On the contrary, if they assault us, mistreat us, assault us or discriminate against us, it is the result of something that we previously generated in this or other lives, remember that nothing exists or arises by chance .

The recommendation as always is to make mindfulness a resource of everyday life, something that will undoubtedly generate returns in happiness and tranquility so necessary in this the investment of our life, to protect us from bad events and suffering resulting from a Acting disorderly can be prevented and in the best scenario eradicate . So is.
