Believing in Karma makes you Weak

karma

I come from a Jain family. Amongst Jains and Christians, there is a very strong concept of sin. Amongst Jains, Buddhists and Hindus, there is a very strong concept of Karma. Essentially, I grew up in surroundings that had a very strong overtone of the concept of Karma and sin (negative karma) and merit (positive karma).

Then I came across my Guru (Guruji Rishi Prabhakar) who never talked about karma but only talked about samadhi and moksha. I once asked him: Guruji, why don’t you ever talk in terms of Paap and Punya which many spiritual masters talk? He replied in a light vein that that doesn’t mean he is ignorant about the concepts.

After all, a disease is gathered through the karmic imprints left on our cells from the emotional and physical implications of our daily circumstances.

Health is about not gathering any possibility of disease in your cellular chemistry. While this may sound a tall claim, it is totally possible. All diseases are a result of cellular pollution. Our Yogis had mastered this art of defeating cellular pollution which was two-fold: Keep Reading

Our Discomfort with Discomfort

discomfort

All our problems seem to be born from our inability to voluntarily experience our difficult feelings and sensations. We are in a frenzy to prevent or run away from discomfort in our body and psyche. This seems to be the root cause of all our problems in life.

Whenever I am uncomfortable feeling the unpleasant sensation that comes by speaking the harsh truth and stand the risk of being unloved, I lie or withhold the truth. Whenever I am uncomfortable feeling the unpleasant sensations that are born of failure, I refuse to run a risk in my professional life. Keep Reading
