The Science of Karma
When someone insults me, I know that he is insulting
Ambalal Patel. He insults this body complex. He cannot
understand or recognize the Self. I, the Pure Self remain the
Knower and the Seer of the event. I am Vitarag. I do not have
any attachment-abhorrence towards him or towards anything in
this world. Final liberation is at hand for me.
The message of the Vitarags is that it is not the karmas
that obstruct our liberation; it is our ignorance. Ignorance of
what? The ignorance of the Self. As long as there is a body,
karmas will continue to happen, but when ignorance is gone, the
binding of new karma stops.
When Does The Discharge Of Karma Occur?
Questioner: When do karmas stop occurring?
Dadashri: It is when you have the experience of, “I am
Pure Self.” So when you become the pure Self, you will stop
binding karmas. The discharge of karmas will continue until they
are completely exhausted.
So how can we stop karmas from binding? Once you
come into the nature of the Self, no new karma will bind. This
happens when the Gnani Purush makes you aware of your own
Pure Self. After that, new karmas do not bind and old karmas
continue to discharge. When all the karmas have discharged,
you will attain final liberation.
Now do you understand karma? Whenever you become
the doer, you bind karma but once you are freed from that
doership, you stop binding new karma. When I release you
from the doership, you will stop binding new karmas and only
the effects of the old karmas remain. These you will have to
experience. No new causes will occur; only the effects will
remain. And when all the effects have been completely
experienced, you will attain final liberation.
