4. How to multiply good Karma

Karma mutiplies when you sleep.

So let me explain Karma yoga.

If you consistently think bad thoughts, you get in the habit of bad thinking, which leads you to bad action, and your environment will have a bad reaction to you. When you often think of something that brings you into the state suffering, you get in the habit of suffering.

Similarly, if you consistently think Right thoughts, you get in the habit of Right thinking, which leads you to Right action, and your environment will have a Right reaction to you.

In short, your thinking shapes your life.

Everything you say and do, you also think. But because you turned the thought into action, you have multiplied the thought. The multiplication happens, because you have forced new brain patterns in order to turn them into action, you have learned that you are capable of this action, you have a memory of having acted this way, and you will subconsciously speculate on what reaction might return to you.

For this reason, there is a saying that if you want to say something, it should be more beautiful than the silence of not saying it.

During the day, you are busy observing and doing things. When you sleep, however, all the thoughts and actions of the day are processed by the brain. This means that good and bad thoughts alike will be repeated many times during the night.

This can be taken advantage of as such:

Before going to bed, take time to process the day that just passed. In order to cleanse your mind, the following thoughts are very helpful:

1. Bring closure to anything you may have done wrong.
2. Forgive yourself for having been a fool, doing these things.
3. Resolve to make good again tomorrow what you can't repair right now.
4. Be grateful for all the good things you have experienced this day.
5. Be grateful for all the good deeds you were allowed to do this day.
6. Resolve to make more good deeds tomorrow.
7. Recount all the people you have met today and/or otherwise are part of your life, and feel your genuine love for them. Within your mind, share this love with them.

You are now ready for sleep.
