“The fulfillment and resolution of the law of karma is the following: One drop of joy is so potent it will transform concern into compassion. That is the ability to give of yourself in the knowledge that whatever it is you give will return to you, improving your life and the lives of all those around you. One drop of joy plus courage becomes passion, which enables you to take effective action without thought. One drop of joy plus discipline becomes empathy, the ability to know that your emotions are real and all those around you are real, which then restores your God-consciousness. When you realize the energetics of all things, you understand that God resides in all things. This, then, is the unification of the upper and lower chakras, where you marry the masculine and the feminine in yourself—the God and Goddess within yourself. The law of karma is not the return of events, but more the return to your soul. As you come into the God realization, your ability to move through everything is restored. Your inability to move is the definition of sorrow. When you empty yourself out of sorrow, you enable yourself to receive the next level of joy. The Holy Grail is an example. It is like any other cup except that its real value lies in its emptiness. The joy comes when the cup of sorrow is emptied. Therefore, the joys of the sorrows along the Camino are the rediscovery of your own soul. . . . Mankind, therefore, has a moral duty to seek joy.” — The Camino: A Journey of the Spirit by Shirley MacLaine https://amz.onl/aaMSRev
