4.2 How is one to develop an understanding of the workings of karma?

Karma is one of the ten fundamental conditions influencing every situation you experience in your life. Through the workings of karma, you will come to understand the purpose and meaning of your life. Through the daily practice of meditation, you will develop the ability to harmonise your choices with the direction karma indicates for you

One of the fruits of meditation is the development of your intuition or sixth sense. Use this intuitive sense to develop your ability to understand the karmic implications of each situation you experience. This ability is developed through understanding life in the context of your karma.

Be clear about this: your day-to-day suffering, your ordinary distress from the pressures and complexities of your life, has meaning and purpose. The purpose of karma is this: once you have learnt the lesson karma is teaching you in each situation you experience, karma will configure the circumstances of your life so that you are able to learn the next lesson. Once you have attained the psychological enlightenment you will have the ability to move in harmony with karma.
