In other words, does it work both ways, where thoughts influence karma AND karma influences thoughts?
OK I am no Vedic expert but I would say yes because our thoughts are comprised of life's experiences which would include our family, culture and all other factor that go into who we are. For example if you are born and reared in a place with constant war your thoughts may reflect that as you prepare for your day. You are constantly on guard so to speak for acts of violence. Were you from a peaceful harmonious environment you will not think the same thoughts but be more at ease in your environment.
As for "little" thoughts, like sizing someone up as a potential friend, lover, enemy of the like those same forces are at work in your background or sub conscious as you form opinions. Since your past karma has put us where we are it stands to reason to me anyway that the thoughts are all part of the package. This may seem as if I am saying we are at the mercy of fate, but even after have a materialized thought, we still choose how to act on it.
In whatever way people surrender unto me, I reciprocate with them accordingly.
