Karmic Debt

We always argue and wonder why do bad things happen to good people? Sometimes it becomes a hot topic of discussion. If someone who is good and kind lives his/her life in poverty, pain and suffering, is that fair?  Is it right that a child is murdered or dies young?  That a young person who has so much to live for is killed in a car accident by a drunk driver? 

Think in terms of not one life, but dozens. Each life tipping the scales of justice one way or the other; for every injustice you do, you pay in another life.  For every injustice done to you, the person who caused that injustice will pay in a future life.  If you take a life, you will pay for it.  It doesn't matter how long you spend in prison, how repentant you are, or what religion you decide to convert to.  You owe that person a life and you will pay for it.  You never get away with any wrong-doing.   "An eye for an eye" is karma. You can fool anyone but your karma will always be smart enough :)

You do reap what you sow

That is not to say that everyone who dies early or is murdered is paying back karma(ofcourse not!).  Another soul can interfere with your life by creating karma for themselves.  However, if a young person or child loses his or her life early this time, it will be returned to him or her with a long happy life in the future.  And the person who caused them to lose their life will owe them a life in the future.  Only one thing will change:  the person paying back karma will have no consequences or very mild consequences for his action. However, you can forgive that person with grace.  If someone owes you a karmic life debt (he took your life in a prior lifetime), you can forgive him in grace.  Simply say "I forgive you" and truly mean it.  Then the debt will be repaid not as "eye for an eye" but in a kinder way.  Taking care of you in a future life when you are in need: the doctor who saves the life of his patient, the mother who cares for a disabled or helpless child, an organ donor, etc.

Through karmic debts and pay backs, all souls grow 'from infant to old' just as we do in life. They incur lots of karma in their first lives -- learning from experience. In later lives, the karmic debt begins to get paid back.  The scales come into balance.  They become teachers and healers, helping younger souls through their lives. 


This may not be so easy to accept or understand but once understood/realised,  LIFE WILL BE A LOT SIMPLER :)
