Ishwar Puri: “So, what happens when we die? We look at the karma we created. It’s so much it can’t fit into another life, so the pralabdh from this is created, the destiny is created for the next life; the runover, the excess of it, goes into a storage, a storage called “Sinchit,” reserve karma…
A Karma-less life can be led if we say, “Let’s go with the flow” ..If you go with the flow that means..You’re not using your intention to alter anything…
We’ve accumulated so much; it’s good for a million more lives ..What we come with we call “Pralabdh” or destiny; what we’re doing here we call “Kriyaman,” that means the new karma being created.. These three, Pralabdh, Kriyaman, and Sinchit, are the three forms of karma, and they bind us down to this life of time and space over here.
So that is why there is no escape once we’ve come here, unless the escape is through somebody who can take us beyond the mind, which is a Perfectly Living Master…
When one is initiated by Perfectly Living Master, the Sinchit karma is destroyed in total. There’s no reserve karma left after that. Therefore, initiation by a Perfect Living Master is the greatest event that can happen in our continuity of life.. because it destroys the sinchit, the entire reserve, which means if you have to have another life it can only be formed from the karma of this life.. So the coming back, if necessary, is only based on karma of this life…
Meditation can burn current karma and lower it. Meditation can convert a karmic episode, especially bad ones.. to avoid the punishment.. So, in meditation, when you burn, it’s not burning; it is a karma which physically looks like it’s taking place but internally you don’t feel it, and that’s how it becomes easy to go through it.
Sometimes there’s some karma that we have to go through, and the Master hides behind a wall. “Master, where are you? I need you now.” [Laughter.] And then he appears, “Oh, what happened?” “I needed you then — now you’ve come, and the whole thing is over.” “Oh, I’m glad it’s over.” [Laughter.] Games like that…
So, this is a game in which meditation is one of the factors that helps, but it is also not the only factor. That love and devotion also wipes out karma..”
