Karma Bondage by Signature (Endorsement)
‘Our’ karmas are per our choice, whereas your karma
makes you dance. ‘We’ have freedom therefore ‘we’ remain in
peace. Your karmas too will end gradually and then they will not
come even if you were to invite them. They are not sitting idle,
are they? Whatever you had endorsed in the past life is what
comes calling; otherwise, nothing would come. Whatever types
of contracts you had signed are what will come calling. If it was
one of entanglements, then you will have entanglements. If it was
clear and easy, then clear and easy ones will come. You know,
they will even pull you out of satsang and take you away; you
have no choice.
Questioner: Maintaining a relationship with it is attachment
(raag); is that why it comes calling?
Dadashri: It is all nothing but attachment and abhorrence
(raag and dwesh). It is only because you have endorsed with
the signature of ‘I am Chandubhai’ in the past life that raag was
created within ‘him’ (your relative-self); otherwise, there is no
one to bother you!
There are not as many ‘signatures’ endorsed as you may
think. It is considered an endorsement when it is typed once
(past life) and typed over again (current life). So there are not
as many as you think.
