Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord The law of karma is not an iron law. By dedication, by purification, which invites benediction, its effects can be modified and its rigors mitigated. "Oh, this is my fate, my own past punishing me. I must go through it and suffer it; I cannot escape it." Thus, people get disheartened. If it is so inescapable, what is the use of prayer, of recitation of the Name, of meditation, or of ritual of worship? Win the Grace of the Lord - and all the accumulated burden will be burnt into ashes in a moment! Why blame the Lord for the "writing on your forehead?" It is you who writes there, and it is you who must wipe out the script. The evil you do, writes; the good you do, wipes! Let your mind dwell on the Lord, and the mist of the past births will melt before the rays of that sunrise. If you do not project those rays, the mist will thicken into darkness. Grace takes away the malignancy of the karma which you have to undergo. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. V, P. 159. Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. II, P. 118. Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. VI, P. 150.
