Karma which has become a household word among many is true only until we come to the Siddhas. When things go wrong which they often do, we are pointed to the Nadi readers and the Nadi readings. They pass on the messages of the Siddhas, at times over-emphasized and with a pinch of fear instilled. While some choose to brush them aside many go along with the directives to carry out remedies seeking for solace and peace in their home front, careers, and everything under the sky. For those who choose to take up the path after settling their past scores and debts, Karma is not a threatening issue anymore. The Siddhas hardly raise the issue again. Whatever happens after locking gears with the Siddhas, is now an accumulation of experiences and learning lessons. If initially upon revealing our past Karma we are sent to carry out remedies or Parikaram at specific temples and places, after shifting into high gear on the path of the Siddhas, all our actions are in tune and turn out to appease the remaining Karma without even we realizing it. To those few who have earned the grace of the guru or Siddhas, and put in practice whatever is taught, the Karma is burned into ashes by their very practices.
I was sad to see someone manipulate the facts and tell his audience that there were no past and future births. Messaging him later he apologized telling me that he was forced to say this since everyone who came to him for a cure either harped on Karma or never gave a care for it, the former associating every happening with Karma and the latter putting aside every work and effort to another day or the next birth. Although his intention was good in having them live the day and not fret on the past or postpone a task to another date, he manipulated the truth of the matter.
Knowing about Karma is a valuable tool to bring us back on the right track. But just as a tool in the hands of a 'weak' person can harm him, it could bring one to his knees never able to walk again. He begins to fear the word and all his actions or might even begin to fear his own shadows.
It is man who creates fear in others. God loves us for being ourselves. Neale Donald Walsch shares God's words with us in his book "The Wisdom of the Universe" by Penguin Random House, "If you saw you, as God sees you, you would smile a lot."
Agathiyar in consoling us tells us that even the bad and ugly is his work for he wants us to have these experiences too. Eventually, in giving us these experiences he is strengthening the soul, empowering it to face all consequences. Anyway, unknowing to us, the soul would have asked for these experiences. Let us take it all in our stride. There is a learning for us each moment.
