But what about "Instant Karma!"?
What about it?
Can't I get that deal for my enlightenment?
Sure, but
karma means "action, deed, cause, reason," the "
doing" that bears results. It doesn't mean those "results." That's
vipaka and
phala (resultants and fruits). What karma are you planning to
do to get this result?
Oh, I was just thinking of Master Lennon and Guru Yoko and what they taught. They think karma is the result.
A lot of people do; it's a very lazy way of thinking to not separate causal conditions and effect, reason and result, the cart from the horse.
LYRICS (John Lennon & Yoko Ono) "Instant Karma's going to get you/ Going to knock you right on the head/ You better get yourself together/ Pretty soon you're going to be dead/ What in the world you thinking of/ Laughing in the face of love?/ What on earth you tryin' to do?/ It's up to you, yeah you!/ Instant Karma's gonna get you/ Going to look you right in the face/ Better get yourself together, darling/ Join the human race/ How in the world you gonna see/ Laughing at fools like me?/ Who on earth d'you think you are?/ A superstar? Well right you are!// [Chorus] Well, we all shine on/ Like the moon and the stars and the sun/ Well, we all shine on/ Every one, come on// Instant Karma's going to get you/ Gonna knock you off your feet/ Better recognize your brothers/ Every one you meet/ Why in the world are we here?/ Surely not to live in pain and fear?/ Why on earth are you there when you're everywhere?/ Come and get your share!// [Chorus]// Yeah, we all shine on/ Come on and on and on, on, on/ Yeah, yeah, alright/ Ah, haa, aaaahh...
