Thought for the day

It is only through the constant practice of trying to transform oneself that truth is revealed

From the book Liberation Here Itself Right Now




THE LAW OF KARMA


     Vasantha:          Swami, why are people suffering from so many problems? I am unable to bear it. Through Your blessings, You please bestow happiness on the world.

     Swami:       Each one experiences the consequences of their past Karma (actions).

     Vasantha:           Swami, kindly wipe out the consequences of Karma and sins of all from now on.

     Swami:       Even if I do that now, they will return to the same wicked path again and again. Because they undergo experiences according to their past actions, they are a bit controlled and afraid of evil actions. Otherwise, they will start living as they like.

     Vasantha:           Then what is the way out? When will everybody get spiritually awakened? When will they experience God?

     Swami:     The same law of Karma applies. If one problem is solved another appears. Anxiety towards problems will end only if total surrender to God is achieved. Then problems will come and go, but human beings won’t concentrate on them.

     Vasantha:          I feel sad in my heart when I think of them Swami. Please shower Your grace and grant them spiritual awakening.
