Anil Kumar Questions and

Question 10
In a
family situation, if the parent has done wrong, will the child
suffer the bad karma, resulting in the death of the child?
(03.11.2002)
Nothing doing. In the Divine
calculation, each has to suffer the consequences of his own
karma. The father’s karma is not brought forward to the
son. The son’s karma is not brought forward to the
grandson. No, it is not like that. If it were like that, we would
not be here. Prashanti Nilayam would not be full. All rooms would
be empty. No, no, no. Everyone has got his individual account.
Parents have got nothing to do with that. A man of violence and
terror (named Hiranyakasipu) has a son named Prahlada, a great
devotee. So the son has nothing to do with the father.
Swami gives this example. It
seems a person collected seeds from thorny bushes and seeds from
fruit-bearing trees. If you sow them, what will happen? The seed
of a thorny bush will only grow into a thorny bush. The seed of a
fruit-bearing tree will only grow into a fruit-bearing tree. There
is nothing like foreign exchange here.
