Namaste! This is Sahara Rose and welcome back to the highest self-podcast, a place where we discuss what makes you your soul's highest involvement.

0:22.0

I want to start this episode by saying Jee Guru Dev, which is a universal salutation that means that this knowledge comes from the many teachers that have come before me, specifically the Vedic teachers, the gurus who have passed on this Vedic tradition for millennia, and it comes through me as a channel through source energy and it does not come from me but rather through me.

0:49.0

This is really paying an acknowledgement for the people who have passed this tradition down.

What I'd like to speak about today is a subject that I'm so passionate about, especially right now, which is the difference between these three words.

1:08.0

Karma, Dharma, and Kriya.

1:13.0

So most of us have heard the first word karma, karma, but we're not familiar with what it actually means.

1:23.0

The second word, Dharma, is one that some of us might be familiar with Dharma and it is our purpose or life's path.

1:35.0

The third word, Kriya, is one that very few of us are familiar with, and if we are we're only familiar with only the Kundalini adaptation of it, but what the word Kriya really means, which is effortless flow or boundless action.

1:50.0

So in today's episode, I want to discuss what these three words truly mean and how it impacts you becoming your highest self.

2:02.0

So the word Kata Ma, when we think about it, we think what goes around comes around or karma is a bitch or if you do this, something bad will happen to you, if you do something good, something good will happen to you.

2:15.0

That's karma, right?

2:17.0

Actually, this is not at all what Kata Ma means.

2:21.0

Kata Ma is the universe's way of setting you on the path towards your Data Ma, your life's purpose.

2:30.0

So karma is basically the bounded action. It's the universe playing back towards you, allowing you to either flow or putting blocks against you if you're not going on the path of your Data Ma, your life's purpose.

2:46.0

So we were each born as a discuss in all of the episodes with a very specific purpose here on this planet.

2:52.0

And that purpose is something that only we can achieve based off of our upbringing and our skills and our interests and every characteristic about us.

3:03.0

Only we can fulfill this Data Ma.

3:07.0

And it can be something from raising a specific child to be a certain way to creating a business that affects other people to creating art in this world or being a thought leader or whatever it is, that's your Data Ma.

3:25.0

And when you don't listen to your Data Ma, you go off into doing a job that might pay you materially better but doesn't spiritually fulfill you.

3:34.0

That's when Kata Ma gets involved. And karma is basically the gatekeeper.
