I just heard Mr. Vesa Keskinen, the owner or this "little village shop"
http://www.tuuri.fi/en/villageshop/today/ http://tinyurl.com/2a8mh2 say on national TV, that he engages in positive thinking for one hour every morning and evening. That made me wonder, whether positive thinking causes one's positive karman (cf. brahman) to become "praarabdha". prArabdha a. (having) begun or undertaken. It would seem implausible that positive thinking could "annihilate" one's negative karman. So, engaging in positive thinking would leave one with relatively more negative karman, than would be the case otherwise??
