#4 Quote on Karma: Don't try to analyze karma because you cannot fathom the depth of karma. Just do your duty and keep moving ahead with love and prayer in your heart.
Q. Can Guru change the karma of a person, and when does that happen?
Gurudev: If a Guru alone could change the karma of a person then he would have changed the karma of everybody in one stroke. No, you have to make some effort as well. Guru can definitely relieve you of your sins. When you commit a sin and you realize that you made a mistake, you cannot relieve yourself of sin, but the Guru can definitely do it for you. So in that sense, yes!
At the same time, you have to do purusharth (self-effort). You need to do some good work.
And the sense of love and devotion is equally proportionate to the amount of karma that gets released.
#5 Quote on Karma: Bad things do not happen because you are good or because you are not good. You must have done something bad in the past and that karma is showing up now. You have to face the consequences.
#6 Quote on Karma: If you throw blame, then blame will come back to you. If you give compliments, you will see it come back to you manifolds. This is the law of attraction: whatever you throw bounces back to you.
#7 Quote on Karma: When you praise someone, you take on their good karma. When you blame someone, you take on their bad karma.

Q. How does the karma of our parents and ancestors affect us? Are we also punished because of their bad karmas?
Gurudev: Listen, if your ancestor has left you a house, is it not a boon for you now? Why are you asking such obvious questions?! They have earned a lot of money, toiled and built a home and they left it to you. You are enjoying their karma, is it not?! And if they are gone with a big debt in the bank, and if you have to pay that back then that is your karma too. So naturally, it affects you. Not just parents but your company also affects you.
If you keep sitting with very depressed people, you also feel down and depressed as well. If you are in the company of joyful and spiritual people your karma improves.
#8 Quote on Karma: A situation that happens now becomes the cause of another situation in the future. When that next situation happens in the future, that too becomes the cause of some other situation to happen. That is why it is called as cause and the effect - karma.
#9 Quote on Karma: Don't worry about cleansing your bad karma of the past. It will automatically go when you live with knowledge, when you are in satang (Satsang means sitting in the company of the truth), when you meditate and when you do Sudarshan Kriya.
#10 Quote on Karma: You can rise above the ocean of karma through awareness.
Q. Gurudev, are bodily diseases or disorders linked to our karmas?
Gurudev: Yes, some of them are linked, but not all. Some are linked to your actions of the past, and some are a result of your own wrong deeds that you have done now. That is why it is called prajnapradha (a wrong deed committed despite having the knowledge or discretion of right and wrong). When you are not fully attentive or in awareness, and commit some wrong deed, then your health also suffers due to that.
#11 Quote on Karma: Getting a friend or enemy happens through some karma. If your time is good, even an enemy acts like a friend, and if your time is not good, even a friend acts like an enemy.
#12 Quote on Karma: When you do an action without aversion or craving, with a smile, with a free mind and a clean heart, then there is no bondage.
#13 Quote on Karma: Only human life has the ability to be free from karma and only a few aims to be free from karma. Karma cannot be eliminated by performing actions – only grace can burn the bonds of karma.
