Understanding What Are ‘Karmic Accounts’
We are not individuals acting alone in this world drama; we act in this extraordinary
drama or play of life with other actors or souls who (along with us) play their
different roles with different physical costumes at different times in the drama.
During the process of interaction with other actors (souls) and according to the
type of interaction with them, we create accounts of debit or credit that become
the basis of our connections with others. The reasons for which a specific
relationship goes well or not are in the so called ‘karmic account’ that I have
accumulated with the other person in the past. The past could be in this birth alone
or in one or many previous births. The souls that play the parts of parents, children,
husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, friends, office colleagues and others whom I
know form a network for the giving and receiving of happiness and sorrow from accounts
established in the past or being created in the present.
The strongest relationships that I have now were established previously. We knew
each other in other lives and but in different roles. The daughter of some births
ago returns now as the father, the best friend comes back as the sister etc. As
long as the account exists, the interchange of actions between two souls continues.
When there is nothing more to give or receive, the paths between the two souls separate
by death, a break-up, a divorce or simply by the loss of contact. An e.g. of this
is our school friends. Many of our friends whom we were close to in our school days,
we are not in touch with today. Another e.g. is when we change jobs; we might lose
complete contact with our old colleagues.

Message for the day 28-01-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
The wings of courage and enthusiasm enable one to fly forward.
Projection: While moving forward we sometimes find ourselves in a position
where there seems to be no progress. We don't seem to understand the reason for
this and we find success eluding us. We try different methods for success but if
we look within we find that either we have no courage or no enthusiasm, which prevents
us from giving our best to the task.
Solution: We need to have both the wings of courage and enthusiasm in order
to succeed. If there is no courage we give up trying. On the other hand, if there
is no enthusiasm we get tired and tiredness never lets us work towards success.
So before we take up any task we should make sure we fill both these wings with
such power that we will be able to work constantly till we succeed.
