Re: My Dharma vs. My Karma
They say personality cannot be changed, having been born an introvert, I have tried many times to change myself but in vain. However there are certain personality traits that can be changes. For example, anger and laziness. The elders ask us to control the anger, it is very hard for someone who is motivated by anger to snap out of it, however he/she can walk out of the situation. Or can practice pranayama and other breath control techniques that are supposed to bring a cool temperament in the long run. Lazyness can be modified too. In spiritual matters, one can compel oneself to shed the lazyness and do some voluntary work, do some pujas, etc. Therefore we can see that one has out-and-out control over one's actions. Speech can be controlled too. One can speak lesser and lesser, like the wise advice men to do. However I do think that other aspects of personality such as how socially outgoing one is, the basic temperament, etc will remain unchanged.
