Commentaries by Vee Jay Attri during the Book Study – Secrets of Karma
We shall continue with our study. We were reading from the Chosen Path. Very very profound teachings. We were reading about the story of the Pandavas in exile; how it is very important for you to accept whatever that you need to endure at any given point in time, after having done whatever you could do.
This is what we called ‘do the best and leave the rest‘, 100 % unshakable faith in the divine plan. The faith in the divine plan will automatically make you fearless and when you are fearless, you will be cheerful. When you are cheerful and cheerfully accepting everything that is happening that you cannot change, you will stop creating more reactions.
The key is zero reaction to whatever that is happening. That is exactly where we talk about “Saakshi Dristha,” learning to be an observer. This is one of the highest teachings from the Bhagavata Gita. If you are able to master this simple teaching, no situation will shake you.
Unshakable faith in the divine plan! Fearlessness, cheerfulness, practicing detachment, meaning practicing to be an observer at every situation. If you are able to practice this, you will find a mighty shift happening in many levels of your life.
Without saying a word, you will even notice people are getting better around you, situations are improving. The key for everything is practicing unshakable faith in the divine plan, together with that comes divine grace and with the grace, anything is possible. Let us continue!
It is not about what you can do or what the world thinks it to be great. It is more about the lessons that you must learn and master. Moreover, everything in life is just a matter of time. All is well and exactly the way it needs to be at this very moment. Therefore, accept your ‘chosen path’ and bring excellence in all that you do. Your good times filled with greater purpose and grand accomplishments will definitely come.
If the input are perfect in thought, speech and action, the output have to be correct. This is very very simple and straightforward. Just keep giving the right input.
Every thought; benevolent thought, positive thought. Every emotion; positive, fearless, cheerful. Every action; kind, compassionate! If you consistently follow these simple advices, transformations will have to happen in all levels of your life.
Physically, you will find yourself getting healthier and healthier day after day. I can definitely talk about myself. The physical challenges that I used to experience, I can say practically it is negligible and I am finding that as the body is getting older, as a matter of fact, it is getting stronger.
As of today, I am doing three times more exercise than what I was able to do comfortably. I am not bragging. I am simply trying to make you understand the power of practicing the spiritual teachings. Day after day, you will have to experience wellness in all levels of life.
Without saying much, relationships will be under control and if it is not getting under control, maybe you have not learnt the lesson. Maybe you are not practicing Shakshi Drista; learning to be an observer and maybe you are not generating sufficient good karma.
And my teacher used to give a very simple advice. He said that sometimes it is possible that when you do not sufficient cash in hand, you have to withdraw from the bank. In the same way, he taught us what is called decree. Of course I seldom practice it, honestly; not seldom, I do not practice it. I feel that the divine grace is so much upon me and I am supremely grateful for that.
But if ever there is an emergency that you need a support quickly, then you can use the power of decree. The decree is you generate a good karma, for example giving some money on charity to the needy. After you do the charity you say a decree.
You say that, “May part of the good karma that I have generated from this act of good karma comes back to me in the form of say what you are looking for.” Use the word ‘may part of the good karma’ because good karma is needed for your spiritual evolution. That is the most important thing to happen in your life.
So long as you are evolving spiritually, it means you are on the right track. That is the top priority. However, there are times when your body has to be healthy. The people in your life have to become better , so because of that as a contingency measure you do the decree.
You say, “May part of the good karma coming from this act return to me in the form of…” say what you want.
Words are not important. The intention you are basically decreeing that a portion or a part of the good karma you have generated is being used for resolving the crisis that you are having in hand. So, this kind of a decree sometimes can bring miraculous shift in the conditions.
But avoid using decree too often. Nothing wrong, but then remember the good karma is also needed for you the soul, for evolving spiritually and rapidly. And also good karma is needed as a shock absorber in the event of going through rapid cleansing.
We talked about acceleration of negative karma. So when that happens, good karma is the one of the most important backup that you need to have. So, think about all this, they are all very very extraordinary precious teachings that perhaps I think one in a million might be having.
If it is coming to you, you should consider yourself to be a very fortunate person. Shall we continue?
Moreover everything in life is just a matter of time. ‘All is well’ and exactly the way it needs to be at this moment. Therefore, accept your ‘chosen path’ and bring excellence in all that you do. Your good times, filled with greater purpose and grand accomplishment will definitely come.
I tell you, that is the law!
Group Karma
Group karma is a very vast subject. Group karma at the micro level concerns yourself and your family, slightly at the macro level, at the country level and at even more at bigger level concerning the whole planet.
And of course, group karma is existing in several level of our existence, even beyond the physical dimension but understanding the group karma will help you to know why you have chosen a family, why you have chosen a country and why you are in a particular group; whether it is spiritual or religious or social otherwise.
Everything has got a very very deep meaning. Nothing ever happens by coincidence. This is very important to understand. So, let us read about group karma.
Apart from its intended meaning the proverb, “Birds of a feather flock together” is apt for karma as well.
At times, a group of people who carry a similar karma to be worked out may gather in a family, country, religious group or spiritual community or even in a disastrous place as illustrated in this amazing episode:
Once, fellow passengers on a train requested the famous palmist Chiero to read their palms.
Most of you might be knowing about Chiero. You may browse on the net if you do not know him.
Chiero’s eye widened as he saw that most of the passengers’ lifelines end up abruptly!
So, in that particular train compartment, when Chiero was observing the palm of the passengers, he found that the lifelines ended abruptly.
He realised that the people present in that compartment carried a similar destiny. When the next station arrived, swiftly Chiero got down although he had to travel ahead.
Now, you have to remember one thing very very clearly. I had been in the company of such great Masters who can see many many things beyond our understanding, including one clairvoyant, who was sharing with me that the person was able to see a being in orange costume.
Orange normally is associated with disintegration. Some of you who know energy, you can understand this. So, when the clairvoyant was seeing a being in orange costume close to a lady, the clairvoyant intuitively knew that the time of death for that lady has come.
But the clairvoyants cannot share what they see because this are all basically the rules of the inner world. That is why you will find that many psychics, many many great clairvoyants would not even share that they are a clairvoyant in the first place. You will not know that they are the clairvoyant. They will be silent spectators. This is one of the example of being in the Saakshi Drishta, as an observer.
So, this lady whose time has come, she went home after meeting the clairvoyant and then she wanted to have cold water. She opened the fridge and she got electrocuted. She died spontaneously.
So, these are all absolutely reality. There is a world beyond with what you see with your physical eyes and that is one reason why you have to learn to transcend any form of judgement, because what you see is only a miniscule level of the truth. Truth comes in so many levels.
Even if you find some people doing the worst of the worst thing, you have no idea what is happening in the inner world. What is happening with regard to the influence of the subtle beings on that person at any given moment. So many aspects of life have to be understood.
It is not just what you see with your eyes and you make an immediate conclusion. The karma of the person is in play, the psychic contamination is in play and many forms of psychic intrusions, including the intrusions from the subtle world.
So many factors are actually responsible for the behaviour of people. You seeing the people’s behaviour and making the judgement that the person is bad, worst or whatever is the worst thing to happen for yourself. That is why, learn to transcend any tendency for judgement.
Discrimination is different from judgement. In discrimination, you exercise the most important aspect of the soul called divine intelligence. Discrimination is born out of the first aspect of the soul, that is divine intelligence. Within the intelligence is contained compassion, love, mercy, everything because the divine intelligence is coming from God who is the ocean of mercy, compassion, understanding.
If you are exercising right discernment, you will not be angry, you will not criticise, you will not pass any judgement. In discernment, you understand the problem and you do something to alleviate. If you cannot do anything, at least you do some blessings for the person to overcome that weakness.
Today’s teachings are very very profound. Remember, teachings are not from this instrument. It is simply passed to you because you are ready to receive these teachings. So, take a special note of whatever that you are receiving today.
