Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Q: it is said that prarabdha karma is only a small fraction of the karma accumulated from previous lives . Is this true ? Maharshi: A man might have performed many karmas in his previous births. A few of these alone will be chosen for this birth and he will have to enjoy their fruits in this birth. It is something like a slide show where the projectionist picks a few slides to be exhibited at a performance, the remainig slides being reserved for another performance. All this karma can be destroyed by acquiring knowledge of the Self. The different karmas being the result of past experiences, and the mind is the projector. The projector must be destroyed so that there will be no further births and no deaths. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~BE AS YOU ARE, The Teachings of Ramana Maharshiedited by David Godman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
