own when the time is right for it to ripen. There is no need for
you to go looking for it. Sanchit karma will give its effect and
then leave. And if you have become a purush, the Self, then it
is possible for you to get rid of certain karmas through certain
Akram samayik yog. However, that is possible only after one
becomes a purush.
It cannot happen through the current state You are in. You
will not be able to make the connection; you will not have the
timing. At the moment, You dance to the tune of the relative-self
(prakruti), even though You have received the knowledge of
the Self. After becoming a purush, the karma that is destroyed
through yog of Akram samayik is called udirana (karma invited
earlier than its due time of fruition and brought to an end).
What is udirana? It is to ripen what is raw and then
shake it off. Without ripening of karma, what can you do? What
can you do when the rice and lentils (khichadee) are not fully
cooked? That is how it is when karmas are not ripe and one has
to leave this world. So he ripens that karma, then that karma
undergoes dissipation (udirana). But this purusharth can occur
only when one becomes a purush, separate from the non-Self,
separate from the prakruti. He has this much right when he
becomes a purush.
There are two benefits with udirana (to invite karma earlier
than its due time of fruition and bring an end to it). One is that
you have to become the Self in order to ‘do’ udirana, and the
second is that karma’s udirana will occur.
When does one become the Self (atmaswaroop)? It is
when samayik and a negation of the body complex of ‘I am
not this body, not
