Monday, November 28, 2005GraceI was hoping to have chance to read these Lyrics out yesterday at our CCN Family meeting, but the opportunity didn't quite arrive. So they arrive here instead! Grace I like that a lot. Grace does the work of "redemption" - turning to good what once was rubbish [Bono probably would use a different word]. Are you a "GRACE" person? Do you turn to good and see good in things you encounter in life? By the way, I decided to get some info on the line "She travels outside of Karma". Karma is a Buddhist "law" related to cause and effect. Karma is the automatic respnse to and event or action. A person can create Good Karma [ a "pleasant" consequence] by acting skillfully, i.e.by not acting out of craving, resistance or delusions. What does it mean to say then that Grace travels outside of Karma. I guess it means that grace transcends the mechanical "law" of cause and effect, "fate" is not the controller. Grace works outside of that. Grace can turn even 'unskillful' actions to good. "Grace makes beauty out of ugly things". Posted by: Mark | 9:31 am |
