Every minute you perform hundreds of karmic actions, yet you are hardly
conscious of any of them.
In the stillness of meditation, however, you
can listen to your mind, the source of all this activity. You learn to
be aware of your actions to a far greater extent than ever before.
This
self-awareness leads to self-control, enabling you to master your karma
rather than be mastered by it.
