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 positive karmic accounts or negative karmic accounts that become the basis of our connections with others. The reasons for which a specific relationship goes well or not at the present time, are in the so called karmic account that I have created 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 depending on karmic 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 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 karmic account exists, the interactions between two souls continues. When there is nothing more to give or receive, the paths between the two souls separate by death, 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 contact with today. Another e.g. is when we change jobs; we might lose complete contact with our old colleagues.
