When you engage in negative actions, or indulge in negative minds, then it is not the cause of the difficulties you face, rather it functions to activate more serious negative seeds on your mind. These small negativities are the trigger for the experience of more negative seeds already stored on your mind. You need to escape from thinking in terms of the punishment model. You are not being punished with these obstacles because of your small negativities, it is just how it works – negative minds activate negative seeds. |
