There are second thoughts happening each time you act. There is hesitation, and from that hesitation or gap, you can go backward or forward. Changing the flow of karma happens in that gap.

Good to hear that someone else has experienced and labeled that “gap”. An interesting concept, that those moments are when karma can change directions. What a great quote, have you read the source? Is it recommended reading?

This is a beautiful quote. But it needs to be deciphered, then it is both beautiful and educating.
This happens when you reach a stage of “constant meditative attitude”. The ‘second’ thoughts, are the controlling thoughts. When the thoughts of action and thoughts of conscious control run parallel, the perception goes back and forth. This continues until that moment when, both these thoughts suspend in a delicate balance, cancel eachother out that results in a ‘gap’ in perception. The on-going sense perception stops and direct perception results like bright sun shining through a breaking cloud.
Direct perception puts us in touch with the Real Perceiver, the Soul, Ishvara, by whatever name called. This desireless, guna-free, perception creates no karma seeds for the future and in fact, depending on the ‘subject’ of the direct perception, there is redemption of old karma. That is a reversal /change in its ‘cause-effect’ flow.
What happens in that gap? a divine vision. In that, your body/mind is so purified, as if born again. A beautiful quote indeed. Thanks.

Yes Good Answer…Scales.
You have a cheerful uplifting presence about you,
That is waking up to our true nature…it is there as long as we take the time to discover it. Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. Right here, now.
Mind is the mirror? What reflection do you see? No-mind.
You can change the flow of karma by peeering within and seeing through to the big self. You can experience the “gap” when you’ve released into an asana.
Nice to see your warm sense of humour again…it is appreciated!
