Your thoughts, words and deeds all come from you. Only you are fully responsible for your pure and impure choices. You alone will bear their consequences.
This is the irrefutable Law of Karma.

There is no distinction between your Free Will
and your Karma.
What you choose,that you get.

God is non-interfering. He does not choose for you.
Your destiny is your own creation. Every moment, you are writing your own painless or painful future through your
pure or impure thoughts, words and deeds.

The choices you make determine the species you
are born into, the span of your lifetime and the experiences you have.
Whatever you choose, choose with full awareness.
The end begins in you.

All your choices come through three modes:
Mode of DelusionMode of Ego
Mode of Purity
© 2019 Abhyaasini ∙ All rights reserved.Six Stages of Human Consciousness
eBook 3 for you at www.youaredivine.co.in6
Through the modes of Delusion and Ego, you
repeatedly make ignoble choices. You choose
everything that is painful, impure, impermanent,
and non-Divine.
© 2019 Abhyaasini ∙ All rights reserved.Six Stages of Human Consciousness
eBook 3 for you at www.youaredivine.co.in7
You choose impurity because you have
forgotten your Pure Self.
Your wrong knowledge, false sense of ‘Me and Mine’, attachments, aversions, and fears, all drive your impure choices. These impurities
cause your painful suffering.

Know this truth: You choose everything
consciously.

How do your impure choices increase your karmic burden?
Since you are ignorant of your true nature, you live only to chase pleasures. Through innumerable lifetimes, you have chosen to talk, eat,
sleep, and indulge yourself; full-time, without sincere self-purification or whole-
hearted devotion to God. You have harboured anger, greed, misery, impure desires, likes,
dislikes, traits, and habits. (cont.)

eBook 3 for you at www.youaredivine.co.in11
Your impure qualities have generated, and continue to
create, countless subtle impure impressions in your mind.
Since you have not removed them, your present physical body
is bound to these age-old, and new, impure karmic impressions.
These entrenched impurities dictate your impure choices, which further generate more
painful impressions. This cycle continues, ad infinitum, until you
choose to put an end to it.© 2019 Abhyaasini ∙ All rights reserved.Six Stages of Human Consciousness
