Escape forming a karmic cycle

[1]

Isha upanishad recommends us to keep doing action with one caveat — do the karma with balance without desire or detest. Only by continuing to perform in that balanced mode, the karma will not stick to or taint one.

Karma could be both the activities of the body or the mind, irrespective of the consideration whether the performance brings fruition immediately or at a later stage. Karma is the concept of action or deed, which is understood as the base of the entire cycle of cause and effect. The theory of karma harps on the Newtonian principle that every action produces an equal and opposite reaction.
Being happy or miserable, beautiful or ugly, highborn or lowborn, well built or deformed are the differences in our lives, which depend on the quality of our karma. Karma does not necessarily mean past actions. It embraces both past and present deeds. Karma is a law in itself, which operates in its own field without the intervention of any external, independent ruling agency.
Every time we think or do something, we create a cause, which in time will bear its corresponding effects. And this cyclical cause and effect generates the concepts of the world, birth and reincarnation. The soul is constrained to a cycle of rebirth, trapped within the temporal world until it finally achieves liberation, which is achieved by following a path of purification.
To experience the eternal self beyond the many forms, one needs to experientially understand the cycling process of the inner instruments that drives karma and stages of freedom come by following the process of dealing with karma.
According to the scriptures, the discipline of unattached action (nishkama karma) can lead to salvation of the soul. So, they recommend that one should remain detached while carrying out his duties in life.
We relive the pain again and again because we refuse to let go of the past and keep bringing the past pains into the future. We also refuse to forgive others and ourself. To come out of pain, we should free ourself and others from the past baggage and live in the present. For this, it is necessary to release and heal past, present and potential future grievances. We must extend unconditional love and unconditional forgiveness not only to all participants involved but also to ourself.
To be free from the karmic cycle we all have to do what Buddha did, learn to become a detached witness to the events of our life. Even after enlightenment, Buddha had to live out the karma, which was already present in him, but by being in the observer mode, he stopped creating more of the karmic seeds.
Unconditional love and forgiveness plays an instrumental role in developing the observer consciousness, which helps in the alignment of the karmic cycles with divine energy and manifesting a state of perfect balance. Then there is no repetitive nature to our actions, mind, or behavior patterns. Then by the law of karma unconditional love comes back to us, generating more of creative love. This is our freedom and our purpose.
