“Clean Up Your Karma”

“When you encounter your karma, you have to go through it. But remember, it’s not there to bring you suffering. The pain that you go through when purging out the karma is wanted, because without that pain you cannot clean up your karma. So, if we know that the suffering is for our benefit, we will welcome it; we will happily undergo it--we won’t deny it. Pain is not given to you by somebody else. What we sow, we reap: we are the cause for our pain or for our happiness. So if pain comes, accept it. Say, ‘It is going to wash off my karma. It’s going to scrub away my karma.’

God bless you. Om Shanthi, Shanthi, Shanthi.”
