Carbon has three forms.



Carbon has three forms. Charcoal a shapeless or powdery mass,
graphite
and
diamond.
In the shape of charcoal carbon mixes with everything, burns and becomes gas easily and is easily affected by contaminants.
But in the graphite form the same carbon is tough but somewhat pliant..
It can be powdered easily ..
it conducts electricity somewhat
.It wears off easily when rubbed.
But its tendency to burn and get contaminated is far lesser than charcoal.
However when carbon appears as diamond it is tough , bright, uncontaminated and practically unaffected by external stimuli.
Still we know that all these are just variants of the same element, carbon.
If we can keep our mind as tough and unyielding as diamond karmas cannot affect us much.
But if our minds are kept clueless and shapeless like charcoal or pliant like graphite karmas too can erode us.
It is our choice to fix our minds like diamond graphite or charcoal.
