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.
