1. The Nature and Significance of Karma in the Personal and Individual; and in Humanity, the Earth and the Universe

Now we must not speak of karma in a way similar to that of the sunray warming a sheet of metal. Certainly there is causality.

Hence, we cannot use the term karma in speaking of a simple relation between effect and cause.
