"Spiritual Message" on the occasion of Full Moon Day.
"A Karmic Storage"
OM
                Guru Brahma 
(you're the reason behind our birth)
                      Guru Vishnu 
(you're the reason behind our sustenance)
        Guru Devo Maheshwara: 
(you're the reason behind our death)
 Guru Sakshat Parabrahma 
(you're none other than God)
                Tasmai Shri Guru Venama: 
(To that Guru, the Atma we're paying our respects)
Om Tat Sat !!!
Today we're going to learn new information.
Since we're learning something new at every meeting, you should pay attention to this information.
It's my responsibility for telling you to pay attention to this information.
Pay attention.
I'm writing a book called Hethuvadamu/Rationalism.
We wrote about 300 pages and planning to release the book by the time of Krishnastami.
A part of that book is our topic today.
First, we'll check what Hethuvadam means.
"Hethu," meaning Kaaranam/Rationale.
If you're asking for rationale, we call that Rationalism.
If you're curious about everything, it's called Rationalism.
If something exists and you start asking why that exists, that's called Rationalism.
The question itself called Rationalism.
You might get an answer to that question right away, later, or you never get a response.
First, you should have Rationalism.
Every human has this Rationalism.
Some have a lot of Rationalism, and some have it less.
When does this Rationalism seep in a person?
It exists since they were a child.
As soon as they get conscious of the world, they start questioning everything.
If a child sees an object, they get curious about that object.
As soon as they start speaking, they ask their caregivers about that object.
The caregivers might or might not respond to those questions, but
The child never stops asking the questions.
The question itself called Rationalism.
Curiosity called Rationalism.
Rationalism is nothing but finding answers to your burning questions.
We have Rationalism from our childhood.
Some children are much more curious about everything than the rest.
Some children don't have that kind of curiosity.
They're curious about something, and they don't pay attention to the rest.
Humans either have 90%, 60%, 30%, or 10% of this Rationalism out of 100.
Every human has at least 10% of this Rationalism.
If someone has only 10% curiosity about things, they learn everything slowly.
If someone has a lot of curiosity, he'll ask and remembers everything well.
If he asks something, he'll beg to learn and remember it thoroughly.
He'll ask because he was curious about something.
Since he is interested in that subject, whatever he learns, he'll remember it well.
That's why Rationalist learns everything better and more than anybody else.
The person who isn't rationale wouldn't absorb anything easily.
There are worldly matters, and there are Divine matters.
You get more questions as per your curiosity.
Humans, in general, show more interest in worldly matters.
Many people ask questions and curious about how to earn money.
Some people pay attention to gold and jewelry.
Some people pay more attention to Divine Knowledge and wouldn't have any interest in worldly matters.
Some people have a curiosity about war stories, guns, bombs, and stuff like that.
Everyone has more interest in the chosen subject.
The subject might be anything and called it as Rationalism.
What is more important than anything else in our lives?
Having curiosity on Divine Knowledge is more important than anything else.
While Bhagavad Gita Proclaimed by Sri Krishna, Arjuna curiously asked some questions.
Those are the right and Rational questions.
Those answers were important to you.
That's why we call them Rational questions.
Sometimes people ask useless questions.
They don't want to know the beginning nor the end, but the middle.
Nobody understands their question even to answer anything.
We would never understand his point of view or question, but
They'd demand answers.
How can anyone answer such questions?
Those kinds of questions never called Rationalism.
A complete question called Rationalism.
Inaccurate questions aren't called as Rationalism.
Why do they call them inaccurate questions?
Because some would ask, 
"A plant stalk is too long, and the calf is small, how come the stalk didn't reach to the other side while it is eating?"
See how stupid that question is?
No one should ask that stupid question because you can see the calf is eating that stalk.
You can see that calf is chewing that stalk.
That's an unnecessary question.
Those questions don't belong to Rationalism.
I told many of my followers to ask any question related to Divine Knowledge.
They never ask any Rationale questions.
They ask unnecessary questions.
They ask, why do we bear? We're born because of Karma.
Where do we get that Karma? We earn that Karma.
They'd ask, How do we get that Karma first?
You didn't have Karma at first.
They'd say, in that case, why did we born?
You didn't take birth first, but God created you.
Now, you are stuck in the life and death cycle.
Why God even created us?
Ask God.
Why God created you? You should ask God that question, not me.
You shouldn't ask me that question.
How can we answer that question?
Why do you bear? You were born because of your Karma.
Where do we get that Karma? You earn that Karma.
Now we're earning Karma, but first, we didn't have any Karma, right?
That's true; you didn't have Karma first.
They don't pay attention to this but ask
We didn't have Karma first.
They'd ask, how do we get Karma first?
You didn't have Karma first.
They'd ask if we didn't have any Karma, why did we bear?
As per the rule, we shouldn't have been born.
Yes, per the rule, you shouldn't born if you didn't have any Karma.
But, God created you.  You're asking me why did he create us?
Why are you asking me?
What I have to tell him?
I have to tell him to ask God.
I can't answer that question.
Some would waste their time with questions like this.
That's why ask reasonable questions.
Some questions are unnecessary.
First, learn the necessary information.
You didn't even know what Karma, birth are all about.
No one knows how Karma is turning as birth.
We can't advance in this subject without knowing the necessary information.
There is a system to ask Divine related questions.
You must follow that system, and God would offer His Knowledge to you.
Otherwise, He wouldn't offer His Knowledge to you.
Even though you got the answer, you perceive it differently.
You perceive it differently and end up on a wrong path.
That's why you should have the right attitude.
You should ask the right questions.
That's when God would give access to perceive His Knowledge.
Otherwise, you wouldn't perceive His Knowledge.
Questioning is a human right.
Rationalism is a human right.
Rationalism isn't a bad thing.
It's hard to find Rationalism in today's society.
The word Rationalism exists, but it's hard to find Rationalist in society.
Everyone assumes Rationalist as an Atheist.
Since Rationalist asks questions against religion, everyone labels him as an Atheist.
An Atheist argues, without any scientific reasoning.
Rationalist can argue with scientific reasoning.
Rationalism is nothing but speaking scientifically and learning everything accurately.
We shouldn't mistake Rationalism as Atheism.
Rationalist accurately learns everything.
Every human has curiosity since they were young.
I'll share one of my childhood memories.
When I was 9-years-old, I went to the Temple with an old relative.
I ask him something out of curiosity.
It's a big Temple, and there are many Temple sculptures on it.
It's as big as Tadipatri Temple trust.
We can sit and walk around in that Temple.
We sit in the corner.
I ask him a question.
Why did they build this Temple?
He said, to know about God.
I ask him, except in the Temple, is it hard to find God anywhere else?
He said, we can find him anywhere, but we can remind ourselves about God if we visit the Temple.
I'm asking, and he is answering.
I ask him, in our village, we have a small Temple, and here you have a big Temple,
I continue to ask him, do you think a small God exists in the small Temple, and a big God exists in the big Temple?
I'm 9-years-old and curious about everything.
He said, either it's a small Temple or a big Temple, God is the same.
He said God is the same and he wouldn't change based on the size of the Temple.
From a 9-year-old's point of view, I ask him another question.
In our village, we worship a female Devata, and they decorated her with bangles, sari and such,
In this Temple the Devata is male,
Is God a male or a female?
He got confused and said God is neither male nor female.
We keep the Devatas in the Temple for symbolic reasons.
I ask him, who is God out of these Devatas?
The questions are coming from me one after the other.
I ask him who a real God is?
He thought about it for a while and said, real God, is invisible.
If he says God is visible, I'm going to ask him another question,
So, to avoid my questionnaire, he said God is invisible.
I ask him if he is invisible why they kept these Devatas in the Temple?
He said these Devatas were nothing but the symbols of God.
I ask him if the real God is invisible, why is he invisible, and how do we know about him?
I ask him a logical question, why is He invisible?
He said God is visible, but a veil called Maya exists in between God and us.
If we eradicate that Maya, we can see him.
He said a veil called Maya exists in between God and us.
I ask him, where is that veil? How come I can't see it?
He couldn't explain anything more than that. So, he said
You don't understand that now. You'll find that when you grow up and you'll see that veil.
I thought the veil isn't visible now, but noticeable when we grow up.
After I grew up, I didn't see the veil nor God.
He said that to get rid of me.
The truth is, neither Maya nor God intended to be visible to anyone.
Neither Maya nor God is visible to anyone.
That's what I understand now.
Since I ask logical questions and have this urge of wanting to know the answers,
Since I didn't get the answers to my questions, I continue searching for answers.
That search continues throughout my life to this point.
In that journey, I learn a great deal about spirituality.
I'm sharing that wealth of information with you.
That's what you're trying to absorb.  Isn't it?
That's how I started this journey of Divine Knowledge.
We call that as searching.
If you couldn't find answers in one place, you search for it.
You explore from place to place, and that's called Searching for the truth.
You search until you find the truth or answer.
That's called searching for the truth.
If you search for truth, at one point, you will find it.
'If you search for it wholeheartedly, you will find it.
That's the commandment.
If you search for the truth, you'll surely find it.
If you ask, for sure you get the answers.
If not right away, you get the answers later.
Divine Knowledge never disappoints you.
If you want to perceive this subject,
You have to have that soul-searching attitude.
If you want to perceive the Knowledge of God,
You have to ask questions and have the attitude to search for it.
You'll find the answers.
If you couldn't find the answers, you continue that search.
Don't leave the search until you find the answers.
In the end, you will find complete answers.
You can find those answers now, tomorrow, a month after or years after.
You inevitably find the answers. Understand.
God said, "Whoever is searching for Knowledge, I'll offer an advanced (unquestionable) Knowledge to him"
That's why, if we keep asking questions, at some point we will find answers.
In our upcoming book Hetuvadam/Rationalism, we ask a question.
What did I ask?
Who asks as a Rationalist? The writer did.
Who answers negativism? The writer did.
Both questions and answers come from the writer.
We have to support and ask questions, just like a Rationalist.
I can't write a simple question and answer it.
The Rational question should be hard to answer.
That Rational question is about the theory of the Karma.
So far, we touch a vast subject, but the topic of Karma is still a mystery.
Karma is a combination of Virtue/Punyam and Sin/Papam.
If we divide Karma, both Virtue and Sin exists in it.
We learned so far that a person who accumulate Sin experience difficulties and sorrow.
Whoever accumulates Virtue experience comforts and happiness.
We also learned that we're experiencing our previous lifetimes of Virtue as happiness and Sin as sorrow.
What others teaching is, you experience sorrow in the Hell and happiness in Heaven and come back to births.
If anyone asks, why do they bear again if they experience everything either in Hell or Heaven?
They give a fictional tale as an answer that you'd go to Brahma, and he will write a new fate for you.
Everyone might ask if Brahma rewrites fate for everyone,
Why does he write everyone's Karma differently? One as weak and another as wealthy?
Why he creates a comfortable life for one and miserable life for another one?
What I wrote is, there is no such thing as Brahma nor his assignment of fate for us.
Spiritually speaking, everyone has to experience their Sin.
Everyone has to experience their Sin here on Earth.
Everyone has to experience their Virtue here on Earth.
That's why we're experiencing our previous lifetimes of Virtue and Sins in this lifetime.
What do you call it If we're accumulating new Karma in this lifetime?
Agami Karma/Incoming Karma.
New Karma called Agami Karma/Incoming Karma.
If you're born with a Karma, what do you call it?
Prarabdha Karma/Assigned Karma.
Every one of you is well aware of that Karma.
You're experiencing Prarabdham/Assigned Karma, and you're accumulating Agami Karma/Incoming Karma.
My point is, we're experiencing whatever we accumulated as a Karma,
We collect new Karma/Agami and experiencing as Prarabdham/Assigned Karma.
A Rationalist asks, why there is Sanchitam/Storage in the middle?
Every human accumulating Incoming Karma/Agami, and
Every human experiencing Assigned Karma/Prarabdha,
When every human experiencing what they were accumulating,
What is this Sanchitam/Storage is all about?
I said earlier, Sanchitam means a junction of Karma.
Agami/Incoming Karma enters into a Sanchitam/Storage.
From Sanchitam/Storage, everyone Allotted Karma for a lifetime.
You might ask if we need to experience Karma one by one,
you can question me like, "You only said right! that we have to experience all of our Karma one by one",
"Why aren't we experiencing earlier lifetimes of Karma in this lifetime right away?"
Why aren't we experiencing this lifetime of Karma immediately in our next lifetime?
Why we have this Sanchita/Storage in the middle?
We never ask this question earlier.
Earlier, we just discussed the Agami/Incoming Karma, Prarabdham/Assigned Karma, and Sanchita/Storage.
We indeed have Agami/Incoming Karma, Prarabdham/Assigned Karma, and Sanchita/Storage.
We experience both Agami and Prarabdham.
Why do we need this Sanchitam/Storage in the middle?
We wrote in our book 'Doctrine of life and death,'
After death, a person will be reborn in that exact second.
Whatever Karma he accumulates so far will turn as Prarabdham in that second.
Whatever a person has to experience in his next lifetime, Karma assigned to him based on that.
How is it working?
Forget about my explanation, what you absorb from my comment is,
Many of you understood that a part of Agami/Incoming Karma assigned as a Fate for one lifetime.
You understood that the rest of the parts would be stored.
That storage called as Sanchitam.
You accumulate Agami/Incoming Karma; you experience Prarabdha/Assigned Karma.
There is a Sanchita Karma/Stored Karma
Everyone is reborn on the second of his death.
Everyone reborn without any delay.
Nobody is aware of this secret.  This information is the secret of secrets.
Whether you're aware of it or not, this is what's happening.
At the time of death, a person Agami/Incoming Karma becomes as Prarabdha/Assigned Karma.
We thought the Karma assigned from the Sanchita/Storage.
If Agami Karma immediately becomes Prarabdham/Fate,
Why there is even a Sanchitam/Storage to store Karma?
Let's put that Sanchitam aside for now.
If we consider that we don't need Sanchita/Karmic storage at all,
We end up in trouble.
God created that Sanchita/Karmic storage because he needs it.
We think we don't need that Karmic storage.
But, what's the purpose of that Karmic storage?
We aren't supposed to experience Karma right away.
That Karma should mix before you experience it.
For that mix he created this Sanchita/Storage.
What kind of mix?
Why it has to go through that mix?
Let's look at an example to understand.
We will work hard today for tomorrow's food.
We will buy groceries today for tomorrow's cooking.
We go to the farmers market for vegetables, grocery store for bread and rice, milk in the morning.
We collect our necessities at different times from different places.
We'd start cooking after collecting everything.
We collect our necessities at different times from different places for cooking and eating it.
If you bring onions, chili, tomato, etc. from a farmers market,
We make a curry out of all those ingredients.
We add salt, chili powder, turmeric, tamarind for taste.
We bought all these ingredients from the market.
Did we get them for free? No, we use the money to get them.
We work hard for those ingredients.
After adding all those ingredients for curry,
Can you be able to separate salt, chili powder or turmeric while eating?
Ingredients mixed in that curry.
It's impossible to separate vegetables because they cooked and mashed in that curry.
It's impossible to show masala powder in that curry.
We're bringing masala, vegetables, lentils to make curry.
We eat and experience the taste, but you couldn't separate them while eating. Understand.
Without knowing the ingredients, you're enjoying the taste of curry.
You taste the spice, but you couldn't see the chilies.
You taste the sour and salty seasoning in the curry, but you couldn't see the ingredients, but you experience them.
You buy salt in bulk.
You buy chilies in bulk.
After buying chilies, are you eat just chilies as your meal?
If you say, you have to experience as you accumulate Karma.
It sounds like you've to eat just the chilies.
We mix everything to cook and eating after that.
We aren't eating just the chilies.
We aren't eating just the salt.
We aren't eating just the masala.
We use those ingredients to make many kinds of dishes to eat.
Many ingredients are invisible in the product.
The same way you must experience your virtues and sins, but
You're experiencing after everything mixed.
They must mix one another.
It is necessary to mix up.
If they are not, it is like eating just salt or chilies.
It is hard to eat just the ingredients.
Just like we mix everything and cook the ingredients,
The same way God created Sanchitam/Storage and
At the time of death, everything mixed in that Storage.
Newly created Karma exists in the Karma Chakram, and
What happens to this Agami Karma when death happens?
It turns as a Sanchitam/Storage.
The cooking process begins.
The Agami Karma/Incoming Karma becomes Sanchitam/Storage.
In that Sanchitam/Storage, every Virtue, and Sin mixed.
We could not recognize what after that mix.
After that mix, it has turned as Prarabdham/Fate.
Just like we prepare curry after mixing all the ingredients,
New Karma enters in the Storage after a mixing process happens there; it is coming out as a Fate.
Everyone must experience that Fate in the next lifetime.
Let us take this as a story.
It is just like a story. Isn't it?
Now we want to ask why it has to happen like that?
The logical question is,
Why God created that system?
When there are Karma results existed as Punya and Sin, why God haven't created the system in such a way to experience Punya as comforts and Sin as distresses in the same order asis?
Difficulties in life are nothing but the results of Sins.
Comforts in life are nothing but the results of Virtues.
If everyone experiences everything raw,
It is like eating just the tomatoes for a while.
It is like eating just the chilies or carrot for a while.
But, when you first eat chillies and then eat carrot, you still have some chillies taste even while eating carrot. Understand !
If everyone eats one ingredient for a while, they get bored.
What should we do to make it more enjoyable?
The newly created Karma should enter the Sanchitam/Storage to mix up.
What happens if it is not mixing up?
Everyone might say, what happens if someone experiences the difficulties/sins?
What happens if someone has just experienced the comforts/virtues?
He will experience comforts as he gets,
He will experience difficulties as he gets,
If he has to experience comforts, he is not going to get into difficulties,
If he has to experience difficulties, he is not going to get comforts,
Why does he have to mix up everything?
There is another issue here.
God is aware of this issue; that is why he created Sanchita/Storage in the middle.
If we lived for 70 years in our earlier life, but
During this lifetime the Fate assigned only for 50 years.
We live only for 50 years.
The Karma does not dictate the Life and Death of a person.
The Karma does not define life or Death.
Life or Death happens on its own.
Life or Death does not belong in the clutches of the Karma.
Life or Death comes in the middle, like a station.
The Karma does not define life or Death.
Life happens as per the Virtues and Sins. It is called Karma.
What happens if a person lives 70 years earlier and dies in 50 years in this lifetime?
There are left 20 years worth of Karma.
If there is no Sanchita Karma/Storage,
Without the Sanchita Karma/Storage if we have the Agami and Prarabdham,
Out of 70 years, he lived only 50 years, died and borne immediately, and there are 20 years leftover Karma.
If we have to experience Karma in chronological order,
The baby has to continue the 70-years-old leftover Karma.
The baby has to carry the burden of that 70-year-old leftover Karma.
A one-year-old has to carry the burden of the 70-year-old leftover Karma.
70-year-old might have a wife.
What happens if one-year-old start asking for his wife?
These are the issues associated with Karma, and society would get upside down if anything goes wrong.
Try to understand here.
If Karma has to apply as it is without any changes,
If Karma stopped at 50 years and started from there,
A one-year-old has to have a wife.
As per the Karma.
He has to carry the burden of arguing with his wife, quarrel with his wife.
How can a one-year-old handle that burden?  His body is fragile.
Human body changes.
The human body changes into childhood, teenage, middle age, and old age.
A human body exists in 4 stages.
Any human can handle the burden of certain things in certain stages of his life.
If everyone asks why don't we face the burden of Karma in chronological order?
A child could not handle adult emotions.
The situation occurs a child should get married.
Is this possible? No.
Today we could not find a bride to a middle-aged man.
Where are we going to fetch a bride to a child?
We face these kinds of issues in terms of Karma.
We could not face the Karma in chronological order.
It is not possible to turn Agami Karma/Incoming Karma and Prarabdha Karma/Fate.
That is why it is mixed in the Sanchita/Storage and released as Prarabdha Karma/Fate.
Prarabdha Karma decides when everyone should do certain things at a certain age.
That is why Sanchitam/Storage exists in the middle.
He is deciding on that stage.
Once Sanchita Karma has decided that decision released as Prarabdha Karma/Fate.
Everyone experiences Fate in one lifetime.
Where is that Fate created?
Fate created in the Sanchita/Storage.
Everyone earned Agami Karma/Incoming Karma.
Everyone experiencing Prarabdha Karma/Fate.
The Sanchita/Storage mixes the Incoming Karma in the middle.
God created Sanchitam for that purpose.
Otherwise, everything becomes chaotic.
The ages mixup and everything become dramatic.
That is why there is flexibility in experiencing Karma.
Nobody escapes from experiencing their Karma.
However, when one has to experience that Karma, is decided by Sanchita Karma/Storage.
The system of the Karma exists like this.
The method of Karma exists like this.
The new Karma enters in the Sanchitam/Storage,
The Karma mixes up in the storage and released as a Prarabdham/Fate.
When is this process happening in the body?
This process is happening when death and birth happen.
This death and birth happen within a second.
Check the watch; a second passes quickly.
The Karmic process happens quickly in a second.
The Agami Karma/Incoming Karma quickly changes as Prarabdham/Fate.
This process called Sanchita Karma.
This Sanchita karma monitors not only a person but everyone in this world by their age, time and creates the Prarabdham/Fate.
There is another question that comes up.
Many people recently went to the city called Kashi for pilgrimage.
About 20,000 people died in an incident.
All of them did the same Sin?
How come 20,000 people involved in the same Sin? No, they would not.
All of them might do many different kinds of sins.
However, all of them end up in the same punishment.
All of them face the same punishment. Right?
Everyone's Prarabdham/Fate dictates that.
All of them did, many kinds of sins in their lives and Sanchitam mix them up and
Gathers them as a group and punish them under the same punishment.
Where is it decided and mixed up? In Sanchita Karma.
Recently a bus went into flames and everyone on that bus burned.
Everyone asks, is every passenger did the same sin?
Children, middle-aged, seniors every age group died in that accident.
All of them did the same sin?
No. Not everyone on that bus made the same sin.
They did many kinds of sins.
Everyone's sins mixed by Sanchita Karma and manifested as one accident.
Understand?
If we dig deep in this subject,
For one kind of sin, one has to burn bad.
Another one did only half of that sin.
He is traveling on that bus too. He got burned too.
Everyone might say, why did he end up burning in that bus?
There are many logics in spirituality.
Not everyone asks these kinds of questions.  Listen carefully.
Am not telling a fictional story, but life secrets.
As per one Karma if a person sins, he might burn to death, but 
Another person did only half the sin, and he got affected to that punishment.
Another did One and a half sin, and he got burned on that bus too.
Someone did one sin and ended up burning on that bus.
Another one did 1/2 sin and ended up burning on that bus.
Another one did one and a half sin and ended up burning on that bus.
How is that possible?
How come various levels of sinners end up burning on the same bus?
One person burned to death for his sins, and that is a valid punishment.
For 1/2 sinner, Sanchitam bought his other sins and mix them with this sin and make him burn to death.
For one and a half sinner, Sanchitam postpones half of his Karma for later and make him burn to death.
Everyone ends up in one, that is why every one of them experienced the same punishment.
Sanchitam readjusts the Karma as per the situation and manifests the punishment.
That is the importance of Sanchita Karma/Karmic Storage.
If we check, since we do not experience nor earn Sanchitam, then why there is Karmic storage?
This Sanchitam is doing an exceptional job.
Sanchitam mixes the Karma, and checks where to add or postpone the Karma.
Who does that? Sanchita Karma/Karmic Storage.
If we check our everyday lives,
Collectively some experience misery at the same time.
Did they do the same kind of sin at the same time to experience that misery? No.
Sanchitam readjusts their Karma by adding or removing or mixing for them to experience that Karma.
Sanchitam readjusts the Karmic record.
Sanchitam decides who should experience what, when, and how or how many in the world.
If that decision comes to everyone's experience, that is called Fate/Prarabdha Karma.
Understand?
Not everyone experiences everything at the same time.
Some Karmic experiences are personal.
One person might have lived 70 years, and for about 50 years he lived like a saint.
After 50 years he developed bad habits.
He did all sorts of sins.
For about 50 years he did all sorts of virtues.
Out of 70 years of his life, for about 20 years he did all sorts of sins.
He could not experience his virtues and sins in chronological order.
Sanchitam mixes his Karma of that lifetime.
He is not going to experience complete happiness nor sadness,
Sanchitam mixes his Karma.
He experiences happiness in his life but experiences sadness once in a while too.
He experiences happiness most of the time, but have limp in his leg.
That is one kind of punishment.
He experiences limp all his life.
He would have a comfortable life, but he has this limp all his life.
No one can comprehend the complexity of these Karmic arrangements.
No one understands these Karmic adjustments.
That is the secret of Karma.
No one can comprehend Karmic secrets.
No one can comprehend these Karmic adjustments.
No one is aware of what is coming next to experience.
We accumulated these kinds of Karma.
We are experiencing that Karma as Prarabdham/Fate.
Everyone must not assume that they did a great virtue if they are experiencing comforts in life.
If they are experiencing sorrow in life, do not assume that they did something wrong.
Sins and virtues mixed and presented to everyone to experience in life.
Why do we experience comforts and sorrows one by one?
God arranged this so everyone would start looking for something beyond these comforts and sorrows.
Everyone experiences comforts and sorrows in a day.
A fool would not pay attention, but
An intellectual or a Rationalist would start questioning these ups and downs in life, and
An intellectual trying to find a way to escape from these ups and downs.
That is why God manifest both comforts and sorrows in life.
Just like black and white, dark and light, day and night.
Elders would say, we get both comforts and sorrows in life, and nothing stays permanent.
Everyone experience comforts and sorrows in life.
Comforts and sorrows are the results of Virtues and sins.
Mixed up Karma assigned for us as Prarabdham/Fate.
Can't we get rid of this Prarabdha Karma at all?
God said, yes, everyone has a chance to get rid of this fate.
God said, "just like wood burns in a fire, Karma will burn in the fire called Divine Knowledge."
He did not say anything about sin or virtue.
He said Karma. Karma is mix of virtues and sins.
He said, Karma means both virtues and sins, and both will burn in the Divine Knowledge.
He said Karma; he never mentions anything about sins or virtues separately.
God said, "dagdha karmanam"
God did not say, "dagdha papanam"
God said, Karma will burn.
God did not say; Sins will burn.
What exists in the Karma?
Both comforts and sorrows in life mixed in the Karma.
God said everything would burn.
Everyone says they do not want the sorrows but wants happiness.  That is not possible.
We must burn the wood to roast peanuts.  Isn't it?
You are going to burn both virtues and sins.
To eradicate Karma, prepare to eradicate virtues along with sins too.
If you wish you want to eradicate sins not the virtues, that wish will never come true.
If you say, I will learn Divine Knowledge, and I do not care what is going to eradicate,  That is a better attitude.
There is Divine Knowledge.
What God did for you to learn that Divine Knowledge?
He mixes both comforts and sorrows and offers an opportunity to learn his Knowledge.
Humans are not paying attention to that Divine Knowledge at all.
They are paying more attention to the material comforts and sorrows.
Humans have an impression that comforts come from the money not because of the Karma.
They do not care about Karma at all.
What is their impression about comforts? They assume comforts come from the money.
That is why they are more focused on earning money.
Where is everyone's focus?
Everyone's focus is on the material world, not on the Divine Knowledge.
That is why everyone accumulating new sins.
Everyone not only accumulating sins but adding some virtues along with them.
To earn virtues, they worship Devatas, visit temples, go to pilgrimage.
The world view is that if you accumulate 100 days worth of sins, one pilgrimage will eradicate that sin.
Some would campaign, if you submerge in holy water you will eradicate a lifetime's worth of sin.
Some wrote fictional stories and deceived public with them.
They would campaign that, if you visit some Devata or if you go to a pilgrimage or submerge in water, you will eradicate sins.
What we are campaigning is, if you learn Divine Knowledge, you will eradicate Karma.
They understand the subject that way.
They earn money wrong ways, and what they do to get rid of that sin?
They will go on pilgrimages.
They assume they can get rid of that year's worth of sin in that pilgrimage.
Some assume why we need to go every year? We can go every 12 years and submerge in the water.
We have a pilgrimage that comes every 12 years.
We have such arrangements too.
What is wrong with these fictional beliefs?
No one is paying attention to the Divine Knowledge.
Who is deceived by these fictional beliefs? Everyone.
Ignorance, Adharmam (misconduct) is increasing in the world.
There is an increased danger to lose the Dharmam (Divine decree).
No one is aware of what is a real Divine Knowledge.
No one is aware of what Karma or Maya.
No one is aware of what God is all about.
What to do to change these ignorant beliefs?
Divine administrators wait patiently for our change of thought.
What happens if they get impatient?
They will attack you.
That is what happened to those pilgrims in the city called Kashi.
They would say why everyone travels to Kashi all the time?
Who attacked those pilgrims?  Bhootas/Elements. Divine administrators.
Out of 5 Elements, Water and Air attacked them.
Another element Earth crumbled and attacked them in the form of landslides.
Rain poured and created flash floods.
Everyone shocked by that rain and flash floods that attacked them in minutes.
That rainfall is beyond records.
Disasters are not typical because Powers involved in this.
Who does this? Bhootas. Maha bhootas (powerful elements).
What are they?  Sky, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth.
The Earth crumbled.
The Air pushed them.
Flash floods created by the Water.
Everyone has experienced hardship.
Why their Devatas did not protect them?
Forget about Devatas; because floodwater discards their temples too.
These Bhootas exist under the administration of God.
These Bhootas warned them by creating this hardship.
These Bhootas/Elements aware of the Divine Knowledge, and warned them to learn the Divine Knowledge.
They are saying, you are not giving value to the Divine Knowledge but earning Karma,
Without paying attention to the Divine Knowledge, you are experiencing the Karma.
They create many hardships for you so you would wake up.
Still, we are not paying attention.
We are resilient and going back to the same lifestyle.
You must ask questions like, what is Karma?
What is birth?
Why did we born? Why are we experiencing hardships?
That's called Rationalism.
Don't use that Rationalism on the material world, but
Try to use Rationalism on Divine matters.
Use that Rationalism for you.
Use Rationalism to question about your Karma, why you were born, why you have hardships such.
If you search and find answers for each question one by one,
You would perceive the Divine Knowledge.
You would come to know about the Karma.
Karma exists in 3 kinds. Agami/incoming, Sanchita/Storage, and Prarabdham/Fate.
Agami/incoming becomes Prarabdham/fate, but Sanchitam/storage mixes that first and releases as Fate to experience.
We cannot find what a virtue is and what is a sin.
If you are experiencing hardship, no one can tell, the reason behind it.
No one can say that.
Sanchita Karma did not give a chance for you to recognize the reasons behind your hardships.
Today we learned about Sanchita Karma.
Everything about Karma is a secret.
We learned why Agami Karma/Incoming Karma is turning as Prarabdha Karma/Fate.
We learned why Prarabdha Karma/Fate is turning as Agami Karma/Incoming Karma.
Aren't we earning new Karma while experiencing Fate?
We learned about Karma one after the other.
That awareness pushes you one step ahead in the spiritual journey.
If you learn Divine Knowledge step by step, you become a Savant.
You come to know about God.
That makes you walk quickly in the path towards God.
You come to know the answers to your questions.
Otherwise, as much as you try, you could not get answers and end up in the crossroads.
Everyone experiences Karma in many ways.
Sometimes a wife irritates her husband.
That is one kind of Karma.
Sometimes the husband irritates his wife.
That is one kind of Karma.
Sometimes the wife and husband both irritated by their sons.  That is one kind of Karma.
Both parents irritate son.  That is one kind of Karma.
Do you think all of those Karmas were the same?
There exist plenty of variations.
Even though one is wealthy, he suffers from medical issues.
Everyone experiences Karma in many ways.
To escape these hardships and to eradicate the Karmas,
We must perceive the secrets of Karma.
Before perceiving the secrets of Karma, we must learn the Divine Knowledge.
You need the Interest to perceive the Divine Knowledge.
You can perceive Knowledge only if you have an interest.
That is why you should increase your Interest in the Divine Knowledge.
Ask questions as per that Interest.
That is Rationalism.
If you want to know more about Rationalism, you can read it in my upcoming book.
Wait for that book.
I am closing this meeting now.
