was extremely reputed in Shri Sangh. The lessons began, but these young ascetics, instead of showing their faith and respect, behaved in an intensely malicious, hostile and disrespectful manner as if they were his sworn enemies. This behaviour, troubled Gurudevshri's disciples. One day, they complained to Gurudevshri, "You are such a vigilant, restrained achiever. You believe in working twenty four hours of the day so that not a minute is wasted. You have allotted your precious time from your tight schedule to teach these young monks, but they do not seem to care. Over and above, their behaviour towards you is disrespectful and insulting. Kindly stop teaching them. What is the need for it?"
The words that were then spoken by Gurudev, to enlighten his disciples, are worth noting down in the diaries of our hearts. He elucidated, "When Karmasatta accounts for everyone's deeds, it does not see who behaved in which way. It only sees what we have done."
This is worth understanding. When Karmasatta opens our file, it does not open anyone else's file. It is as if Karmasatta is telling us, "I will see what someone else has done, when I open that person's file. Just now, I have opened only your file. If I can read 'anger' in it, I will punish you severely for it. If I read 'forgiveness' in it, I will reward you grandly.
"I have done this karma and I only have to bear its outcome." A soul which determines as such and endeavours to dissolve such karma (irrespective of undergoing any kind of suffering on manifestation of such karma), does not experience any pain or misery in his heart.
