What does "karma" mean to you?
Dec. 24th, 2005 11:51 amKarma..
Yes, Mellors knows about it.. The word brings back memories of heat and dust, of strange smells and stranger habits, it brings back memories of India.
The Hindu soldiers in the Army had told him about karma, had explained that you lived and died and lived again in a circle and that what you did and how you behaved in each of these lives affected what would happen to you in the next one.
Karma then must mean that somewhere along the circle of his lives he must have done something right, something just about wonderful..
Because karma means to him that he lives in the woods he cares so much about. It means that one day, one day he will never forget, a door in time opened and a golden man stepped out of it and into the Gamekeeper's life and chose to stay with him and love him. It means that this life has given him all that he could ever dream or hope for.
