The Science of Karma
Thus Change The Inner Intent Effect karma is when although you try to control your anger, the anger occurs. Does this happen or not?
Questioner: It happens.
Dadashri: The results of that anger will be there in this life. People may avoid you or slap you. You will be disgraced in one way or another. To become angry is your effect karma, but it is your internal intent that is important. If from within you feel you had a right to be angry, this will create a new account for you to become angry again in your next life. But if your internal resolve is never to become angry, even though you do, you will not bind anything for the next life.
You will have to suffer the consequences of the overt visible effect karma of being angry, in this life, but you will not be causing anything for the next life because you have the intent not to become angry. If, however you continue to think that you need to show your anger to people to keep them in line, then in your next life you will be an angry man. Therefore, the external action is overt effect karma, but during that time the internal intent, whatever it is, is cause karma.
If you understand just this much, there is no binding in overt karma. That is why I have put forward this science in a different light. Until now, people were brainwashed into believing that they were binding karmas because of their overt karma. This is why people have been wandering endlessly.
Living While Liberated People believe that married people cannot attain liberation. You must understand that being married is not obstacle to
liberation, but your subtle cause karmas are. Your effect karmas do not interfere. That is why I have disclosed all this to you. Had I not made this science available to you, you would be suffering forever. You would be in a perpetual state of confusion and anxiety. The monks say that they will attain moksha (liberation). Yet how will they get liberation when they do not really know what they must sacrifice? They have merely renounced their visible attachments, that which can be seen or heard. For this they will reap benefits in this life. This however, is Akram Vignan: A new kind of science! It has made it very simple for a lot of people to attain liberation. Is it possible to attain liberation by abandoning one's wife? How can you attain liberation if you hurt anyone?
So take care of all your responsibilities towards your wife and children and realize that it is all your effect karma. But make sure that in this effect, you hold no opinions that will lead you to charge karma for the next life. I have given you these five Agnas for that very reason. Guard yourself against being of the opinion that whatever you are experiencing or doing is correct. No such opinion should be there. That is all that is required. The rest will happen naturally.
Guide Children In This Manner Parents become indignant if their child does something wrong. They go around telling others that their child is a misfitor that he is a thief. Why must they do this? Why not simply forget? Whatever is done is done. Instead, why not change the child's internal bhaav? Parents today are not worthy of their parenthood; they are not certified to be parents and so they do not know how to go about changing their children's bhaav. If a child develops a habit of stealing, the parents will keep tormenting and punishing him. Needless to say, this excessive reaction, on the part of the
