32 The Science of Karma
Charge And Discharge Karma
Questioner : Is the doer of cause karma and effect karma different ?
Dadashri : The doer is different in both cases . Effect karmas are discharge karmas . Just like a battery , they discharge their power all the time . Are they not being discharged even when we do not want them to ?
Questioner : Yes .
Dadashri : That is how the effect karmas are discharge karmas . The new ones that are being charged inside are cause karmas . The ones that are being charged in this life will continue to discharge in the next life . The batteries that were charged in your past life are being discharged in this life . These batteries are , the battery of the mind , the battery of the speech , and the battery of the body . All three are discharging at this time , while new batteries are charging within .
When you speak , you believe , “ I am speaking .” But it is not so . It is the record that is playing ; the ‘ battery ’ of speech is discharging . I do not speak . People however say , “ Look how nicely I spoke .” That is all egoism . Once this egoism goes , is there anything left ? This egoism is ignorance of the Self . The doer is someone else , but you believe that you are the one who is doing it .
The cause karma that is being charged within then goes into a ‘ computer ’. A person is one individual ‘ computer ’ and the other is a universal ‘ computer ’. The cause karmas are first fed into the individual computer and then into the universal computer . The universal computer then takes over and does all the work . You will bind karma with the beliefs of , “ I am Chandubhai ,” and “ I am the doer .” Once you realize your true identity , no new karma can be bound . This science is simple and straightforward .
