karma

Dear Mani

 

<<I am not quite convinced by this: this means that X has to keep waiting till I

pay, and also does not have a chance to forgive and let go. I think deed and

soul are independent. If I owe Y a debt, I cannot find peace till I "repay", but

this does not have to be to Y, but to Z, who represents Y for me. Y on the other

hand would benefit by letting me go. It is a question of passing on the favours

one receives, rather than repaying. The Gita injunction of "give without

expecting reward" would have little meaning otherwise.>>

 

Well, karma is a science and we as humans cannot grasp the whole thing. There

are millions of karmic equations. Many years ago i read a very interesting

article in the Astrological Magazine of the late B.V. Raman, regarding nadi

readings. More or less it went like this:

 

A Hindu father & his daughter. Her lover & her husband.

 

In a previous life, she fell in love with a Muslim man. Her father objected and

married her to a Hindu. Because she was still in love, she made hell at home to

the point that the husband took his own life. Once a widow, she found her lover

and "lived forever happily".

 

Present life, she left husband because he spent downry money, was drunk all the

time and giving her a hard time.

 

Nadi reading said that due to taking his own life, husband was born again with

very low class habits and because she was part of the karma (perhaps tactless),

she had to pay part of the consequences. Nadi advised divorce to cut karma off.

 

3 years after divorce, she was going to find Mr right, get married, have 2 more

children (1 child from 1st marriage) & have a good economical & emotional life &

destined to die @ 64.

 

Her 2nd husband is her lover from previous life according to the Nadi reading.

 

I remember another reading done to a friend. In this life he has been very

unlucky with ladies. According to the Nadi reading, in previous life he had a

harem and was very nasty to his wives. In this life he came to pay back to all

of them.

 

Of course, we should be cautious about Nadi readings because some are bogus and

also the prescription is given according to time, age & circumstances, but we

can get an idea of how karma works. Attachment to our habits creates karma

(reactions).
