PHILOSOPHY OF SOUL
yourself to escape from a snake, from fire or from bomb explosion then how much should you strive to escape from karmas which are many more times more detrimental. But it is highly regrettable that you are indolent, passive and inactive. Without manly endeavours you cannot even eat a berry fruit under your nose; then how can you eradicate the evil influences of Karmas without such endeavours.
You will be betrayed if you leave the karmas to take their own course to be destroyed as they cannot be destroyed of their own accord. If you do not break off the shakles of karmas in this life, then either in the next life, or in the third one or in the fifth or in the eleventh or in the hundredth life, you will have to break them off. Then why should you not break them off today? If you are calculating in these terms that you shall break them off in future sometime on some good opportunity arising, then present life by itself is a good opportunity. This human existence is a very rare and valuable opportunity as you have attained this human existence after having wandered in innumerable existences. Those souls which consumed the karmas, did so in this very existence as a human being. Never it happened that any soul in the life as that of a God, a creature or a hellish being could consume the bonds of karmas totally.
Question: Whether it would happen in times to come?
Answer: What never happened till today can never happen in future. In future also those souls which will consume the karmas shall do so during human existence only. You would be the first persons to book your tickets in a queue for the rockets if they fly to heavens, but Gods also aspire to achieve human existence in order to annihilate karmic bondages. Gentlemen, you will not meet with such opportunities again and again. Therefore, arise, get up and start the blessed endeavours to annihilate Karmic bondages. If you do so, you will be able to observe religious mode of life.
More facts will be considered at the proper occasion.
