What you have done causes things to happen. Your situation in life now has been caused, is predicated upon, your previous actions. That is karma.

Frederick LenzI select people to work more closely when they are prepared to and I see that. They don't have to tell me. I know. I will give them a task of some type, and that task becomes the koan between us.
