There was another thread where someone compared this current incarnation with the last few steps of a race. They said that the last few steps are difficult, but nothing compared to the whole race. I used their analogy.
The it refers to Normally, to get off the wheel of samsara/reincarnation, one would need to reach enlightenment or be sufficiently compassionate in their life. Harvest is an exception to this. I thought that without harvest, only people like monks could overcome the need to reincarnate repeatedly to learn their lessons.
Harvest overrules karma or the need to reach enlightenment, doesn't it?

But still, some decisions I make, I cannot tell if they create karma or not. With harvest, is karma something we need to be concerned about? Or is it simply about doing our best to be compassionate?Where ever did you get the notion of a "race"? Also when you ask "is it simply about doing our best to be compassionate"? What is the "it" to which you refer?
