Intention and Karmic Seeds

The Buddha tells us that Karma is one of the "imponderables"... we can never fully understand it.
However we do know that every action has a cause and an effect.
The primary factor that determines karma is intention. Every word or action comes from intention. This intention is what plants the seed of what is to occur in the future, but only when the right conditions exist. Our heart's intention is fed by our inner knowing our wisdom self, also referred to as the "awakened heart-mind".

At the same time whatever is happening in your life right now is affected by your attitude towards it. What determines your attitude is your intention.

" We reap what we sow"... Yet what do we do with what we reap is affected by our intention.
