Owing a karmic debt in previous life

Let us observe your own life. You will be able to see people or situations that are not entirely fair to you. Also some may emerge suddenly to help you even though they owe you nothing. This entire roller coaster experience of ups and downs in life is Karmic debt only. We feel a person has been nasty with us in terms of speech or behaviours. We forget that in some lifetime we may have been exactly like that to them. Now if we fail to let it go we will become exactly like them again to settle the score.

Well, in my own experience irrespective of whether it is a friend, family member, colleague or employer if somebody exudes too many negative behaviours I forgive them but I shield myself from further onslaught by putting a considerable distance physically and mentally. I avoid falling into an emotional whirlpool because it will just take one slip up for again starting the same cycle.

This is how Karmic debts are identified and avoided. Maybe you see someone new and immediately love their eyes, smile and behavior. Some people may repel you just with their presence. All these are a result of past life debts only. See forgiveness is important. Forgiveness in my own perception means I know what you did to me was wrong but I will not retaliate and do the same.

And remember, I am not okay with what you have done but I will not seek revenge. I consciously let you go now and forever in all directions of time. I just know there is a Karmic debt when someone is seeking that extra bit of attention from me, claiming I have not done enough for them, insisting that I sit next to them only or listen only to them or when they claim that my life and time belong to them only. In all these cases I put my foot down and keep my distance. I don't shout or fight because I recognise the pattern. Only by observation will you understand Karmic debt.

You can know there is very little karmic debts left and you are in path to liberation if you ever experience as below. You never get annoyed even if others insult. You maintain. Equanimity at all times. Your love is greater than hate. You are always cheerful. You practice brahmacharya or use moderation in rightful sex. You always speak truth. You do your duty without any expectation/anxiety. You completely surrender to Lord. You always read holy books. You always seek holy company. You are satisfied with material needs and happy use what is given to you. If you feel you are following few of them 100 percent , know that your karmic debt is ending and by not reacting to situation and always reaming equanimous you are not creating any new karma. So in two or 3 lives you may be liberated is what I feel.

You cannot know your karmic debt from previous lives through astrology - even though some astrologers may claim so. If there was such an astrological method or technique I would have known it by now, because I have searched for it for many years. Instead you need to consult a hypnotist and ask for regression to experience some of your previous lives and/or a visit to “the life between lives”, i.e. the place, where the soul is located, when you are not incarnated in the flesh. Such regressions with hypnosis are not dangerous.

I have done it several times. As a result I got a clear understanding of my task or mission and my present life, and the stuff in previous lives, which has brought me to this point in the chain of reincarnations. I really needed those answers, it has been such a relief to understand this stuff. And it’s a bonus that I don’t have any fear of death any more - because I have tried to die so many times before, and dying is usually much more peaceful than getting born.

In my own case my karmic debt is something similar to a suicide even though it was not a suicide. I gave up my life voluntarily, when it was not necessary. In my present life I have been born into circumstances similar to the ones in the life, where I “sinned”, but in the meantime I have been trained to resist the temptation of giving up my life. My task in this life is to prove that I will not give in to pressure, and so far I have been successful. Lesson learnt: The life we receive is a precious gift, and we are not allowed to give it up for no valid reason. Om Shanti
