The Science of Karma
you have to go and take care of it before you can return. If one
has acquired a credit, then he must experience that before
returning. The balance remains with you and it never gets used
up. When does it get used up? It is used up when the ‘doership’
goes away. Only then can you be liberated. The doership will
never go away unless the ego goes. The ego is the doership. If
the ego is there, you experience your karmas elsewhere and
return back to where you were before.
Questioner: Upon returning to the human form from
other life forms, where do you take birth? For example, are you
born as a fisherman or a king?
Dadashri: Your life resumes at the level you were at
when you left the last human form to pay your debts or to enjoy
your credits. This is just like returning home after completing all
the necessary shopping. In the same way, the human life is the
home. You have to come home. And when the ego comes to
an end, you do not even have to stay in this world. Liberation
happens when the ego stops. The ego is not used in any other
life forms. In the experience of the effect karma, the ego is not
used and so no karmas are bound. The cows and oxen do not
have egos. A horse may appear to have an ego, but it is the ego
that is being discharged, it is not a true ego. It is because of the
ego that you are here. When it is gone, you will be liberated.
A Return Ticket From The Animal Kingdom
Questioner: You say that one receives the fruit of his
karma. So then, can these animals come back into the human
form?
Dadashri: They are the ones who come here. They are
the ones that are here now. Their population has increased.
And they are the ones engaged in unscrupulous enterprises.
Questioner: What kind of good karma have these animals
done that they are born into the human form?
