The unseen root of Karma

A person is undergoing unbearable suffering. I pray tearfully to Swami for a solution to his problem. Swami says, “He must experience his Karma.” I continue to pray for him. Yesterday, the family telephoned me, all were crying. In meditation, I asked Swami about it.

17 December 2008 Meditation
Vasantha : Swami they are suffering greatly... You do something.
Swami : It is his Karma. Without this experience, how will he learn?
Vasantha : Swami, can’t You do anything for him?
Swami : I can lessen his Karma by half, but in the next birth he will have to experience the balance. The great devotee Ramdas, suffered in jail for 12 years. He used government taxes to build a temple for Lord Rama. He built a temple for God, but he had to suffer past Karmas. No one can escape the effects of Karma.
Vasantha : Swami, I asked for Universal Liberation. I thought that You are bestowing it, closing the Karmic accounts of all. Now Swami, You are telling about Karmic balance, what is this?
Swami : For the dawn of Sathya Yuga, we took the world’s Karmas and are suffering to change all.
Vasantha : Swami, even the wicked alcoholics are attaining Mukthi, how?
Swami : Now all will be liberated. They will enjoy the bliss of liberation for the 1000 year of Sathya Yuga. At the end of this, they will have to pick up their Karmic sack and live in Kali once more. Karma is postponed, deferred.
