So far, Swami has revealed the very very subtle secrets of Karma. There are two things: First, we should not perform bad actions. Secondly, if we have to experience the fruit of our actions, be always in thoughts of God. If we practice these, we can free ourselves from Karma and escape suffering. Kuntidevi was very different; she asked Sri Krishna the boon that she always suffer trouble and sorrow, so she will never forget God!

While writing this, I randomly opened the book ‘My dear students’, to page 77 and read,

… “Atmananada was a pure hearted soul devoted to the practice of meditation. He had visited Swami a number of times and wanted to stay here in Prasanthi Nilayam. He was ready to give up everything to be here. I told him that this was not the right place for sadhus and the Ashram where he is from is the place for him. I sent him away giving him a japamala.”
