Re-living to relieve from Karma
Till now, what we discussed was a preventive measure for incurring karma. As a curative for karma, I will give you a simple technique. Right from this moment, try and remember all the incidents in your life. Start going backwards from this moment to your childhood days. Remember what you can. Do not bother about…

Why do hindus perform rituals ?
Rituals are very powerful tools. They are powerful techniques. Many people ask me, ‘You are enlightened. Why should you then perform rituals?’ I tell them, ‘Because I am enlightened, I am teaching people exactly why and how to perform rituals!’ Enlightened beings do not need any rituals for themselves. A small story: A man went…

You have started to move towards enlightenment when you doubt the promises your mind has been making all along but never fulfilling any.
You are like a wave in the ocean of Existence. The wave rises up from the ocean but it is still connected to the ocean. It may think it has an individual existence but that is just a myth. Whether it is rising, above the ocean or falling down, it is still a part of…

Do we have to wait for the next birth if we feel strongly about something but it is not our prarabdha?
No. You can change your prarabdha through a simple, strong will or sankalpa. The strength of the sankalpa can cause a rebirth in you in this birth itself. The next birth can happen now itself. For example, people, especially householder disciples who feel they are caught up in their responsibilities ask me, ‘Swamiji, please bless…

Will a human be born as an animal, bird or insect or can he be born as human being in the next birth?
For all of us, our total sanchita karma initially was a divine play. For an enlightened master, it is still a divine play as he has no karma at all. Playing because you can play is the divine play. We took birth out of choice. We forgot our prarabdha karma, started gathering agamya karma and…

Breathing awareness into the desire has the capacity to burn your unfulfilled desires and can dissolve this birth’s karma!
Another important thing, please understand this concept. Assume that in your total sanchita karma baggage, 100 desires are related to your muladhara chakra, the energy center related to greed and lust; 100 desires are say related to swadhishthana chakra, the energy center related to fear, 100 desires are related to your manipuraka chakra, the energy…

Reaching out to an Enlightened master, doing what the master says and acting without intention is life!
If the depth of the intention is more and the action is less, the person is lazy. He is lazy or in tamas. If the depth of intention and of the action is the same, the person is in restless action or rajas. If there is no intention but only the action, he is in…

Are you reacting from your past experiences or are you responding like a pure reflection in a mirror with no judgment ?
Karma means action. But action can be of two types. It can either be a reaction or it can be a response. When somebody insults you and you become angry, he has made you behave the way he wanted. Now if he apologizes, your mood suddenly changes. So he is the master. You are behaving…

Actions of an Incarnation, enlightened master can never be without awareness and compassion as HE is in one with Existence!
If a person has committed ten murders, the quantity of murders will not be recorded. But the intensity of the murderer will be recorded. It is the quality, the mindset, and the attitude, that carries the karmic burden. That is why Krishna says again and again in the Bhagavad Gita that intention is much more important…

If you create thoughts, words or actions that do not emanate from deep awareness but from a superficial layer, then you create karma!
You have been told that you will go to hell if you accumulate sins and to heaven if you gain merits. I tell you, society simply uses these concepts to control you through fear of hell and greed of heaven. When you are caught in fear, naturally you are ready to do what society tells…

How can we clear our Karmas ?
Let me explain the three types of karma from a different angle. You see, if you take all the possibilities that you are aware of and that are available to you in the cosmos, we call that as agamya. There are all kinds of possibilities. You can become a fish, you can become a snake,…

Aagamya, Prarabdha, Sanchita karma
There are three types of karma – agamya, prarabdha and sanchita. Sanchita karma is like a bank, a reserve bank. Understand, this may not be the first time you have taken a body and come to planet earth. You may have taken millions of bodies before! In those millions of bodies, whatever thoughts you had, whatever…
