The Science of Karma

Dadashri: It would not come to mind. One’s awareness
would disappear and his ability to remember would be gone
too.
The Binding Of Vows To Deva-Devis
Questioner: Does one bind karmas for making any kind
of vows to any deva-devis (celestial bodies)?
Dadashri: Certainly karmas are bound when a vow is
taken. By doing so we ask them to do something for us. They
may even oblige us, by doing something. We give them something
in return, which is why we bind karma.
Questioner: By staying with a saint, can one be freed
from binding karma?
Dadashri: The binding of karmas is reduced. You will
bind karmas of merit, and this does not hurt you. The karma of
demerit is not bound.
Awareness Against The Binding Of Karma
Questioner: What can one do to prevent the creation of
karma?
Dadashri: If you have bad thoughts or negativity, you
should immediately confess them to God. The thoughts will
linger as long as there is an account. Just confess to God that
you have had bad thoughts and that you are asking for forgiveness
and vow never to do it again.
Questioner: If someone commits a murder and then
repents in front of God, how can that person be freed from that
karma?
Dadashri: Yes, he can be freed. But if he feels
contentment after killing, then he will bind very serious bad
karma and if he repents for his actions, he will bind a light
karma.
