Introduction
It isn’t only until we somehow, either voluntarily of our
own accord or we are forced by someone or something to stop the action that is
accruing karmic debt, do we really begin to pay the karmic debts for our past
actions.
It is just like we have a credit card where we spend and
spend and nothing seems to touch us and we enjoy spending all our credit but
when we hit the limit, all the fun is over and things change, it is now time to
pay, and the happiness of spending turns into bitterness and the fun of
spending turns to the sweat and monotony of hard work.
A Limit
There is always a limit that we hit when we are repeating
actions that are accruing karmic debt. We can’t go beyond this limit and that
is where we get physically sick or something drastic happens to make us stop.
Now we Can Die
If we stop beforehand then it is only when we have stopped
to do we really come into contact with that ego that was causing us to act and
create karma. Then we left with the work on cleaning up all the residues left
in our system (psyche) from those actions and then if we really stop we can
begin to die in earnest. Before that it was not really possible for us to die
in that ego causing the karma. But now it is possible.
It is here that we have to feel very grateful and happy
because the fun that we were having with that ego is replaced by something
superior which is the relief of not creating more karma and the essence felt
joy of approaching freedom and acquiring for our Being and our essence a new
value that was previously trapped in that ego. We can also feel the essence felt
joy of coming to own that area of our life where before it was in the hands of
that ego.
End (988).
