Anil Kumar Questions and
Answers
Question 18
“You
said,” (he meant me) “the very Darshan of Bhagavan will clear you
of your karma. But I'm still suffering from my karma. Has not my
karma been cleared?” (Laughter) (08.12.2002)
That is the question. The answer is this: One
will be cleared of karmic effects if there is deservedness,
if there is eligibility.
When I look at Bhagavan -- when all of us look
at Bhagavan, all of us will not have the same feelings. There are
many people who tell me that when Bhagavan passes by, they receive
some vibrations. There are many people who tell me that they are
charged with energy. There are many people who tell me that they
feel a cool breeze when Bhagavan passes by. So, experiences differ
based on the nature of the individual, their devotion or path and
the intensity of their sadhana.
Therefore, I may not be cleared of karma
because I'm not ready. I have not done enough work. Though the
teacher is excellent, when the student is not able to follow the
lesson, it only means that the student has not done enough
homework. The student has not the required foundation to receive
and appreciate the knowledge given to him in the classroom, even
though the teacher is an expert. In order to be cleared of
karmic effects, we should do some homework.
What is that homework? Intense devotion, total
faith, complete surrender and the sadhana of service --
these four are sufficient physical practices on the spiritual
path. Doing (practicing) these four is sufficient homework for us
to get ourselves ready and prepared, so that we can be free from
the karmic effects.
