Playing the gunas, their surfacing or their going away is not in your hands. You imbibe gunas from the mother’s womb too when you are in the embryo form by way of  your mother’s thoughts, you don’t know what gunas you have, and where you acquired them or when they will surface. Same goes for karms. You don’t know what you have brought along from earlier births, which you created here and when. Past life therapies etc can be of no help. Knowing the details about your karms etc won’t be of much help as you will still have to live those gunas. You will have to play them. You will have to cut those karms by yourself. By knowing more about your karms or your gunas through past life therapies etc you will only start a new karmic cycle as the information will get stored in your subconscious mind. This will create another cycle of thoughts. And knowing that the events were destined to happen, you could become karmheen—complacent too. If people say that your bad karms will go away if you performed certain austerities, daan or punya…then you start a barter system. It is just mind calculation.

The Supreme brings forth in your life only those situations which will help you cut your karms. He gives you that family, those friends, and situations which are meant to cut your karms and you get busy avoiding these, busy abusing the very things which are supposed to help you cut your karms.

It is also so effortless. Whatever comes in front of you – people, animals, situations, weather… is all meant to cut your karms, the weather…elements…all come to give you something. Why do we analyse, criticize, avoid them. The sooner you deal with these, go through these, the better. It is so simple. Karm hi karm ko kateh hain. Gurus and swamis have made a business out of it –offering you advice on how to avoid your karm — ‘do this and your problems will go away!’ Know that karm will be cut by karm alone. And the karm which you have got effortlessly, it is coming in front of you, be in gratitude. Unknowingly it will cut the karm which you don’t even know about. And why you want to know about your earlier karms etc?  By knowing all that, you create another karm cycle, because now this thing has also entered your subconscious mind, which is not the truth. Who has seen your past birth! You store such information in your subconscious mind, and it will create one more cycle.

People have made their life so complicated, that nothing can eradicate their complexities whole and complete. But pranam is in gratitude that all things are pointing to one thing – that there is something more to know (not learning, information or acquired knowledge) through their own sensitivities which have been numbed by pathies and so called techniques and  spoon feeding of acquired knowledge (mind games). It is all so simple!
