past few days, during the meditation, i have been giving a special attention to 'karma' with the knowledge that i have got by reading the suttas and listening to dhamma talks
the conclusions are:
1.
if we do not know 'what is skillful and what is unskillful' (worldly right view) we do, say unskillful thing (intention is unskillful and others get hurt in it) or think unskillful thing (intention itself unskillful and it hurt ourselves)
this is bad karma so we get bad (painful) results (black-kamma)
black-kamma is with greed/delusion or hate/delusion or delusion
for ex: if we hurt someone he hurt us in turn or someone else hurt us in turn
2.
if we know 'what is skillful and what is unskillful' so we do not do or say unskillful thing (intention is good) but our thought are not skillful (intention is not good)
so we get seemingly good results (white-and-black-kamma) but we do not get the complete pleasure
for ex: we donate something to someone but are not happy about it for some reason (giving is good and there are many reasons that make me giving but i do not like to spend my money for the particular cause or personally i am a miser)
so we will get what we need (as a result of giving) but we can not share it with the family/friends as we like (as a results of being a miser during the giving)
3.
if we know 'what is skillful and what is unskillful' so we do not do or say unskillful thing but we do or say skillful thing (intention is good) and we think skillful thing (intention is good)
so we get what we need and we can have the pleasure of what we get (white-kamma)
white-kamma is no-greed/delusion, no-hate/delusion
4.
deed- or word or thought with mind state of 'magga/pala' (noble-eight-fold-path or arya-puggala) can be said neither-white-nor-black-kamma
