their body parts are failing. This is because of their temptation
for trivial things.
Heavily bound karmas are like fire-works. They are set
up to go off only during the declining years. Whatever enjoyment
the body had indulged in, will give pain and suffering when it
leaves and whatever suffering it had to endure will give happiness
in the end. That is the rule. The peace and happiness one
experiences will be in proportion to the pain one has endured.
Only a rare blessed soul departs in peace. While indulging in
worldly pleasures, people are not aware that every part of that
enjoyment will have to be repaid. Indulging in pleasures that one
has no right to will have to be accounted and paid for at the

they acquire things through aarta dhyana and raudra dhyana and

much suffering, one will die as a result of a heart failure. In the
next life, however he will still have to endure karma-effects
again. This is a science of atoms. This verily is the science of
the Vitarags. No one can change it.
