Karma pertains to a path from intention to action and resulting conclusion. Cause and effect. Life in all its forms is depicted to be a circle. Unfortunately the concept has been diminished (and thus abused) to the half hearted mission of doing good only to reap the benefits in return. But as Immanuel Kant described just like the Buddha and Hindu Gods, it is best to be virtuous for the sake of doing the right thing and not for some perceived benefit. Otherwise the Self and the Ego will be simply rehashed and not reincarnated towards a higher spiritual level. And then the Sisyphus in us will continue with his stone and that would be purely absurd.

From  ~  LARGE  ~  to  ~  small  ~

K~Konstantin had travelled the world in unbeknown searching~g        

A~Ariadne lost the plot and her thread a modern Sisyphus on the run~n

R~Raised in mathematical precision he questioned logic and Pi~i           

M~Meandered streams of his mind with no delta or source without  fill~l       

A~Archimedes had drowned in the bathtub and produced wanton spill~l

C~Cartesian logic and Newton merely kindled heated debate full of lava~a

A~Acropolis Bergen Belsen Cairo Constantinople Calcutta a firm cul-de-sac~c

L~‘Leave cause and effect behind for a while on its quest for mens sana’~a 

L~‘Life happens when you follow the flow squared circles teach no realm’~m

I ~In sight of the Ganges loin cloth in hand near naked emerges a star~r

N~Nirvana does not fall from the tree but intentions and actions feed Karma~a

G~‘Go resolve not hurt sentient beings and the world will be a little less sick’~k
