________________
the consequence of what your hands did is to be paid by your heart. The actions of your own hands have hit your heart. Then whose fault is it, if not yours?
You never hesitate to rip off a person verbally when you find that he spoke negatively about you or behaved a little erratically. Then why would your karmas hesitate to rip you off?
At home you have killed mosquitoes, bed-bugs in the bed, termites infecting furniture, lizards found in the windows, doors and attics and killed so many tiny creatures while driving a vehicle. You killed ants and cockroaches in the kitchen, ate foods that contained countless germs, like vegetables growing underground, honey, ice and so on, that are prohibited by our religion. Your violent tendencies have graduated from killing lice in the hair to killing (murdering) the embryo in the humanbody (abortion). All this pertains only to the present life and that also only to the extent that you can remember. Beside these, are the violence committed in this life which you do not remember, and the violence committed in your past lives. Whether you suffer from third stage of cancer or whether both your kidneys fail, the pain that you are suffering now, is much less than the pain that you may have inflicted upon others. The opportunity and understanding to purify the soul that has become impure by the sins committed mindlessly, in the pure river of repentance, are possible only during the enlightened moments of illness. That, which provides an opportunity to look at the sins that we have committed, with the feeling of repentance is an illness which is a blessing.
