4. Stay close to good people, those who have conquered most of their inner enemies.
5. Collect the blessing of holy, spiritual people. They are sent to help you, which is not luck but a grace from God. Watch for them, get in tune with them, and you will feel humble. In that way you are burning your ego also.
6. Repeat a mantra, such as, “I bow to all those who have conquered their inner enemies.” As we bow in our hearts, hoping to reach the level of these conquerors, we learn to recognize our own inner enemies.
These are the actions you can take to wear out your adverse karma. Step by step, aware and disciplined, you will prevail.
It is essential to feel for and console people who are suffering from pain, poverty, misery, disease, lack of knowledge, or low intelligence. On whatsoever level you can, extend what help you can give, not out of fear of karmic retribution but from a flow of pure compassion. Be alert at all times to modify your karma, by correct thought and action. Is the touch of the healer's hand necessary?
Not really, but sometimes out of love with no thought but to give affection and comfort as when a mother sooths her child and her hand is like a balm. In the same way, the holy man may say, “My daughter,” or “my son," and place his hand on you, and you will feel better as he prays for you. That kind of touch motivated by affection always helps.
Generally, however, no physical demonstration is needed. The holy man can send his invisible vibrations any distance or anywhere that the person is situated who is in need of his blessings. Can a scoffer be healed?
Yes, an unbeliever can be helped, in spite of his refusal to take the blessing seriously. The blessing is a beneficial vibration.
