When we really feel karma pressing down on us, when the weight of karma falls heavily on our shoulders, the silliest thing to do is to stop working.
It is so silly to complain, to worry, to pace up and down, to think and think, to protest, to argue - all are useless...
We need merits, capital, dharma like crazy to alay the oppressing force of karma.
The force of karma can just be too strong for us to hold things up, things look solved then another hell of a block arises, the karma is implacable - crushing... There is no other choice but to generate merits, to pay, to pray to the Law working something out...
In no way is being passive helpful!
The thing to do is to get to work straight away. Hit hard the sacrifice, the death of the ego, ask the Law for help, for a repreive, a credit, something of a way to pay, to stop the continual pressing of these difficulties and to open a way to solve them.
There are special moments that one for a second feels the weight of karma on oneself and in those special moments one can know if one has the strength of merits to withstand it and solve it. We may have just enough to withstand it but not enough to solve it. We need more dharma more to merit to solve it than to withstand it.
We have to work for merits they do not come for free or from anyone else as a gift! They can from the guru from our inner Being's reserve of stashed away capital but that is usually all!
