This question was so brilliantly articulated. Hats off to this lady for raising such an important topic

Tolle is more a healer than a teacher. Every word of his is a drop of medicine. Thanks be to the cosmic powers for giving this philosopher's stone to humankind.

More and more I am beginning to feel the teachings I come across being exactly the one I require right now, perfectly appropriate to my external and internal situation right now. I can feel experiences and teachings being handpicked for me. I feel so loved and taken care of in the midst of all the chaos which am beginning to see is not really chaos anymore. The more I send a hug to the universe, the more I feel a hug back its as if am sending messages out to myself and recieving them m so much gratitude 🥰🙏

This lady is very special and full of beauty and love.

We are so fortunate in our generation to have you Eckhart

The lady so articulate and empathic and Eckhart so enlightened. Law of Karma/Cause and Effect is part of every soul and individual's life, just as there is law of gravity, attraction etc so rise above your circumstances, learn from your lessons and grow and evolve just as your soul and purpose intends. Take care everyone.

It's helpful to remember that it's all happening by itself. No one is doing anything. This is important because we don't feel guilty of having done wrong. It's important to honour oneself.

master eckhart looks like such a satisfied baby teddy bear.

The best non academic, non intellectual and non doctrinal discourse on karma, that is truly helpful, I've ever heard.

there is sadhguru though...search him on youtube

"karma is the unconscious conditioning that runs your life"

I knew that I needed him to answer this correctly, and he didn't fail me this time either, he truly is the only one worth listening too.

The way the lady was asking question was highly intelectual

Yeah. I am grateful for these lessons I am learning about becoming a different person of my past karma. I choose my actions more and more even tho others try to hold me in a different light. I define me now.

Very good question and asked beautifully.

The Shakti on this girl is overflowing bliss.

3:42 Karma as I see it is the unconscious conditioning that runs your life Thank u Echart Tolle

I love Eckharts non doctrinal, non religious, simple but profound wisdom. The Power of Now changed my thinking many years ago. Merry

Beautiful question and the beautiful answer.

Negative Karma = unlearnt Lessons. [We eternal, multidimensional consciousness are here on planet earth temporarily for learning Forgiveness, Compassion, Empathy, Helpingness, Love, Patience, Responsibilty, ONENESS.

Beautiful. Thank you to the lovely questioner.❤️

Damn I could listen to her talk all day...

This is the first time I have truly understood the concept of karma...what a great teacher he is!😀

Omg so true... I endured a karmic cycle.... it seemed never ending and so challenging to stay focused when in survival mode... this is such discipline but once mastered it is an incredible super power.

_ According to Robert Adams' teaching karma exists only for those who believe they are body and mind (i.e. believe in the physical universe). _ Eckhart Tolle hints in the same direction when he says that "you" are the NOW and everything is happening within you (i.e. the entire universe which includes all phenomenon, including people). _ As Eckhart says in this video, as PRESENCE arises, karma eventually subsides. That is because, one might say, "YOU" in that understanding are PRESENCE itself, or the very attention that witnesses phenomena. _ So there are different levels of understanding the words used in spiritual discourse. _ When Tolle and other teachers speak to a general audience they answer questions on a general level of common understanding so as not to confuse those who are not yet ready to take up the spiritual quest seriously. _ As Eckhart often says, the word is not the thing itself, it is a symbol of symbols, a pointer to something beyond conception.

Just found this great man today. I am very thankful. I can see the deep appreciation he feels when people come forth to formulate questions... It's so rare and amazing to see somebody who maintains a frequency level like that.

Out of all the books I’ve read on this subject, not one gave such a clear explanation. Thank you Eckhart! 🙏❤️

Wonderfully said on karma! Wow! Sharing my experience with others has been in my heart for a few years and when you mentioned that we all become teachers in some way after a shift I felt released from my cocoon finally. I have essentially been in hiding after a bit of a traumatic purge. I thank you for this and all that you do for humanity. ~Brandon

That was so interesting my eyes were glued to the screen and time was nonexistent. Best 14 minutes of my life. That made perfect sense.

Wow so musc truth in his words ,..Karma is not a punishment and not rigid , it is unconsciousness in our own minds ....Life is a mirror and we see ourself out .....if we are rigid we see rigidity out , if we are forgiving we see forgiveness outside ....but we are not any one thing to cling one ...we are both good and bad depending on the situation we are in and our level of consciousness in that situation at that time.......

Shanthi Medharametla we see the world around us thru glasses coloured by our own karma ! if you think people are dishonest you see many people dishonest around you and then you take this as a confirmation that you are right in your observation .but all this process is an illusion .how and why ?? when you see something outside of you you always make an interpretation of it (actually you have no possibility to know the reality of that thing but only your own opinion or your own version or your own evaluation or interpretation which is necessarily coloured by your karma which is here the karmic belief that people are dishonest then you see what you believe but as you can see now it is not the reality and the conclusion is you are under illusion created by your karma when you are submitted to karma .why the sufferings ? because what you see is distorted and do not correspond to reality and then you will be deceitful and suffer .so this is the operating mode of karmic functioning ! this explains why many people have the same problem popping up again and again even when they change their partner hoping it will be better with another partner !! a very common matter between couples ...

You have owned an identification with karma and you therefore are "bounded". It is okay (to be bounded) . . . it is what it is; you are what you are; you do what you do. There is nothing wrong with it. Yet if you are seeking to be free, unbounded, then this frame of mind (with karma) is not helping.

SO WISE ECKHART SO PRESENT I LOVE YOUR BEING THANK YOU FOR TEACHING

I somewhat agree with Eckhart. There are various degrees of karma that is basically the Law of Attraction, the vibrational choice of a certain frequency - "What you put out is what you receive". Once one becomes aware and aligned with Source then he/she consciously creates karma of high vibration and wonderful potentials. It has a high vibrational frequency that is in concert with the well-being of Source whose mantra is - All is Well, Always.

Karma is the same teaching as "reaping what you sow" "getting what you give" Its a way of keeping people in line or behavior control.However it does not address the root cause of the problem with people and or society which is are own egos. Become aware of the workings of your ego and karma is something you no longer need to worry about...hope this helps..

karma is time bound, presence breaks the bound

What a wonderful speech... I'm so grateful to you.

Great I am a hindu and I can say he explained very well..

WoW !!!!!!!!!!!!! What a powerful energy of love for man kind used to answer this women's question I loved this video! Extremely extremely powerful Thank you

Karma, more so than any Eastern spiritual concept, seems to have the most varying definitions depending on who you ask, though based on the Sanskrit etymology of the word, which is 'kri', karma literally means 'doing' or 'action'. Alan Watts defined it as "you are doing what happens to you" whereas Tolle calls it "unconscious conditioning" but I actually think they're both talking about the same thing. Karma is how one's environment, social and physical, can lead us into identifying exclusively with that environment and taking action that stems from it, rather than becoming the 'presence consciousness' as Tolle puts it which is to say detaching our sense of self from these exclusively environmental influences which seep their way into our minds and usually determine who we are. This isn't to say we 'escape karma' in the sense of 'escaping the world' or anything like that - an ascetic misconception - but rather that we escape the mirror of karma that is our minds reflecting the world back at itself. We already are the world - we don't need a mirror to see it. That's not much clearer but hey, that's karma baby!

a very clear and understandable explanation of karma specially as it relates fully to unconscious patterns of programmed minds which control our life events and he gives the tools for erasing it and get more freedom from pain and sufferings and greater control of our life by accessing to a higher level of consciousness . beautiful presentation of karma.

.Thank you very much Eckhart Tolle, You explain so beautiful and true , You are a person and entity of Love grace and truth I know for sure everything you say is truth I know beyond the dream

'Presence' then, is the Divine Law of Grace...:-} Thank you Eckhart for being so gentle & responsive.

I see a great link between his talks and Vipassana. May be because i think essentially, they both focus on freeing ourselves from reactivity, being in the present, and taking things as they are without judging them. Beautifully expressed.

Thank you Eckhart ❤

Saturn is the Lord of Karma. Great talk , love Eckhart..

I was and still am a huge fan of Eckhart. My perception of him was dampened by his supposed commercialism. But damn just looking at him gives me peace!

We are going through a war...with what we would call an ILL SPIRIT... We are battling it and winning... Thanks to Beings like Eckhart Tolle...and you beings who constantly search for the Full Truth. Loving unconditionally, staying aware, and staying away from evil.... May we all reunite and want to go home/wake up forever, whole and undamaged to our home with the infinite. And may the ill spirit perish into non existence/non being forever

I haven't even thought about karma in 20 years.🤗

Golden words of wisdom, very eloquently put together, coming straight from an enlightened being. Thanks 🙏

Thank-you very much Mr. Tolle for your explanation. Like you, I believe that presence (or grace) allows us to transcend bad Karma. I don't pretend to have a grasp on the finer points of karma, but I do know from experience that grace can lift us out of the darkest of places. I would like to think that a state of grace in one person has a bearing on the world at large.

Wonderful question

with that shirt he s like alladin..!!!wow!!!anyway tolle is a good teacher along with rupert spir aand adyashanti,osho,mooji they share light

Yes. Maybe so - I don´t declare to really know; But it means usually that the "positive" things bind you stronger into this world - because you want more of it. Eckhart is trying to explain, that if you wanna be free, some other quality of being has to come in, which is equanimous to both the positive and the negative.

great teachings

fantastic the break down of karma was so interesting he is so wonderful :) x

So what about the people in unfortunate situations.... sex slaves, ... etc All the presence in the world will not free their physical body.... they will become numb and emotionally dead in Order to survive .... so for them to become present and conscious requires them to be emotionally dead...More reason I would never want to be reborn physically again. I might be born into that situation

preaching karma and reincarnation as truth contradicts the ideas of letting go of the ego. You do not have to lie to yourself to try and explain the craziness of consciousness.

I love this man called eckhart tolle

You are speaking to my heart

Love and appreciate your teaching, Eckhart. I'm responding to the compilation vid from 2019 however, where comments are turned off. Your view of emotion (as distinct from feelings of compassion, loving kindness or love), while I understand it, seems to imply that passionate emotional expressions by artists would be (your words) " self-indulgence", "drama" or "a way to sense being alive when they are not in Presence". In this idea, I think you are imposing yourself, your rather "cool headed" nature and functioning, on the HOT people of the world. I would suggest that some of the Hot people may ALSO be experiencing enlightened states of consciousness! A world where everyone had your kind of emotionally detached affect would be a far poorer place in my view as would a world without you in it. :-) .

Please pay attention that "karma" discussed here is in its astrological vedic sense (as the lady mentions her Indian background): the soul enters this world to finish the unfinished business from a past life, and therefore the challenges it encounters match whatever it failed to achieve in a past life. Translated for the western audience: we all inherit certain unconsious patterns from our ancestors and in the process of individuation (Jung) / awakening, we free ourselves from them.

tinalilith the law of karma is the scientific law of cause and effect which is in activity everywhere in the world .this law relates to all the energies of the world it is inherent to the process of all interactions of all energies in the world ( the basis is : one energy in contact with another energy will always manifest as a combined energy ) as a consequence in physics in chemistry in biology we have this law of karma in all real sciences which is called by scientists the law of cause and effect .which means that for every cause which interact with another cause there will always be an effect that means a resulting cause .now understand that all the things in the universe are energies = forces = causes .this is how the processes of life go on and keep moving .with all the permanent transformations as results of interactions of innumerable energies or forces . now take the realm of biology in human beings your thoughts (beliefs emotions ideas ) your words your actions are energies or forces will be submitted to the same universal scientific law called also karma .people get mixed up because they don't know much about modern science and it is a big handicap for many spiritual people .karma cannot be avoided it gives rise to life .but there is 2 aspects to it !! the good and bad karma ! so your choice can only be good or bad karma. to know how to behave for good karma just be vigilant and follow this pretty good general law : you shall love your neighbours as yourself .get close to that in your conduct then another law : as you reap so shall you harvest .another law : as you think so shall you be !! for each karmic situation there is a main cause .find it and correct it , either in thinking or in talking or in actions .karma is here to teach you lessons .then if you do this works which is needed anyway you will have more and more good karma and less and less bad karma .as you erase bad karma (agitation) your mind will be clearer because when you are calm your mind see better and so you are more conscious then more peace love harmony and joy and many abilities and talents will appear to you with many blessings and more mastery of your whole life .then you may go and teach others what you know and cooperate consciously with the whole universe in action for better life to all living things and you will know yourself and the Gods....

Thank you thank you thank you!

Nice perspective.

It is Karma... not Kaama, " R" is not silent here... because the word Kaama have different meaning... I think Krishna, Osho, Maharishi Patanjali, Sri Sri Ravishankar and Sadhguru these people explained Karma very clearly... Eckhart Tolle's teachings also helping people to come out from illusion and get awakened... Salute to all ancient sages of India for their beautiful gift of Yoga to the world

God Proposes and Karma disposes.

According to Hindu scriptures, committing suicide doesn't solve any of the problems that one goes through. There are no shortcuts when it comes to Karma. People who do that, come back to this hell hole and start again from the scratch, so you have to be strong no matter what comes your way and finish your part of the dirty work. In short, it says that the show must go on.....

@pointlesssowhat Don't know that I can clarify it for you but this vid helped me to see how my karma, or 'demons' as negative unconscious content is sometimes called in the West, is entirely 'mechanical' but can be gradually dissolved by 'presence' or 'grace', i.e. a higher function beyond normal thinking/feeling. 'Balance sheet' karma benefits priests and gurus but is to my mind a perversion of the nature of this stuff. Presence or our connection to our higher self takes care it.

This was huge for me

Gracias!!!!

i want to see him in a conversation with sadhguru

Watch the video "What is meditation" and read the book "the power on now." That would be all. ;)

THANK YOU!

loved this; be a teacher.

@vedantstudy thank you for the clarification:)

@pointlesssowhat Thats the popular understanding of the word, which is prevelant even in India. that karma is a tit for tat that the universe does on you. ET of course presents the deeper esoteric meaning thats been lost.
