The theme in Faust and Dorian Gray is literary, while a study of the quest for knowledge and experience can be existential. The point for consideration would then be - Is karma ethical, or capable of having consistent quality. It is like asking if Life itself is ethical. It is quite different from examining whether a given life (the life of person) is ethical or not. Karma is a-ethical.   Life is a-ethical. But different Karmic and life experiences result ‘only’ from ethical difference in past action. So difference in experience results only from difference in action. Can action be controlled to the extent of deciding its ethics categorically, given the heavy component of determinism in Karma, and given the nature of human existence. 'Selling your soul' in literature might equate to abandoning the Ātmakāraka (AK) in the chart.

Akasha Tattwa is not visible and is not amenable to the tactile quality. Yet it is the quality which binds all other elements, and binds everything in existence in general. The flower encapsulates this quali

In our business, which is the business of living, there are things which impede and there are things which further. The impediment is not to be trifled with. It does exist and none of us need to be reminded because we know it. It would be easy to get overpowered by the impediment without even knowing what it is or worse still, that it is. It is equally easy to get cosy with the notion that all is well with the world because sometimes there is apparently nothing to worry about and things appear to be on course all on their own. Both are quite dangerous. But we may not be in either situation but in one which most conscious people find themselves- in the pushes and pulls of the positive and the negative, given above.
