The laws of Karma are subtle but are as inexorable as any other chain of causality—physical, biological, or socioeconomic. As MLK said, “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality,“ where “whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” And this is true at every level of causality—physical, biological, socioeconomic, psychological, and karmic. As the Dalai Lama has observed, the laws of Karma kick in only when an action is intentional, for evil intentions pollute the mind stream (or as said in Star Wars terminology, create a “disturbance in the Force”). There is no Karma generated, for example, by an accidental injury or death, since no intention was involved. Conversely, something as slight as a personal insult can generate all kinds of karmic repercussions, since karmic causality is nonlinear. My point is this: Putin has generated a massive karmic debt in his assault on Ukraine, and the bill is coming due…and it won’t be pretty!
