The karmic web is more complex than such linearity apparently implies, the individual's karma overlapping and influencing that of neighbouring souls. In this complex existential scenario to isolate individual karma is seemingly impossible, although in the depths of purified reflection one may gradually enter into wider separation from others till beyond the critical gap freedom and independence is reached. The residual karma keeps holding till in good work done for the common weal it is exhausted and body drops for good to release the soul unto its perennial disembodied state. What I mean to state is this that the individual and the collective are inextricably linked in deeper bonds than are apparent and it is puerile to give a singularly linear description of individual karma. Where the individual personality has its boundaries is difficult to define, overlapping of shifting apparent selves being so unpredictable in this causal-probabilistic plane of karma, a contradiction in terms perhaps but not really so. Deeper reflection will reveal the predictability and unpredictability both of karmic consequences as Sri Ramakrishna so aptly summed up in his epic statement, "Mayar karje golmaal achhe." ("There are discrepancies in Maya, irregularities in its karma.") Hence, to simplify karma thus may suit the common currency but is not flaw-free in terms of both mathematical and philosophical rigour of thinking. As Adi Shankaracharya has said, "Indescribable is Maya," we may conclude that a workmanlike solution of karma may please the commoner but not the purist of profounder persuasion.
