experiencing the effect of those karmas. The effects have to be
endured. If a person has not met a Gnani, he will continue to bind
new causes simultaneously as he is faced to endure the effects of
his past karma. The causes he creates in this life will result as
effects in his next life. And thus the cycle of cause and effect,
effect and cause will continue, until he meets a Gnani Purush. The
Gnani Purush puts a stop to the creation of causes and all that
remains will be the effects, which one will have to endure. New
karmas will no longer be bound.
Therefore, not only will you remember this entire Gnan, but
also you will become the embodiment of that Gnan. Then you will
not fear anything.
Awareness at the Time of Death
Only until one is alive!
Questioner: Dada how will all the karma bound in this
life, prior to receiving this Gnan, be destroyed?
Dadashri: While you are still alive, you should destroy
them through repentance and pratikraman. Not all of them will be
destroyed, but they will definitely become weaker. Then in the
next life, because they are already weak, they will just crumble
away.
Questioner: Does the bondage of karmas weaken through
repentance?
Dadashri: Yes, they become weak. Only certain kinds of
bondage are weakened at their roots through repentance. There
is tremendous strength in our pratikraman. Do it with Dada
Bhagwan as your witness and it will bring tremendous results.
