Karma means action. But action can be of two types. It can either be a reaction or it can be a response. When somebody insults you and you become angry, he has made you behave the way he wanted. Now if he apologizes, your mood suddenly changes. So he is the master. You are behaving like a slave. You are a victim having no control over the situation. When somebody insults you, you are immediately reacting out of your past experiences. This reaction is karma. It is a binding force. It creates chains for you.

But a response is totally different from reaction. When someone insults you, you don't need to give in to the emotion of anger rising inside you. You can listen to what he is saying objectively without judging whether it is good or bad, right or wrong. First you listen to him without immediately reacting. Then you respond with awareness. You don't react from the past. You are now responding from the present. If the other person is right, you will thank him for pointing out something to you and making you aware of yourself. If he is wrong, you can simply witness the emotion and not react. If the statement is not true, why should you react? Let your response be like a pure reflection in a mirror with no judgment. Let it not come from the karmic baggage of the past.

Instead let it come from the freshness of the present. Anything that comes from your past experiences is going to create a karmic chain. Anything from the present liberates. You create your own karma. Karma does not create you. You are not a byproduct of your actions. You are far bigger than your actions.

An incarnation is someone who comes down to tell his fellowmen about the blissful place that he experienced. The man who descends from the Divine on planet earth to express the bliss of that divinity and to make you realize what he has experienced is an incarnation.

Incarnations as such have no karma. They have nothing to achieve, nothing to gain. If they don't have anything to enjoy why should they be in the body? They come down only for the love of humanity. Incarnations take a human body just to liberate more beings from the cycle of life and death, from the grip of karma.
