The Science of Karma
parents, does not help. So what does the child do? He decides to ignore them and rebel even more by stealing more.
You have to change their bhaav: Talk to them affectionately. Hold them, hug them and make them understand with gentle words and make them see the recklessness of their actions. Ask them how they would feel if someone stole from them. Would it not hurt them if someone stole their money? In the same way they hurts the person they steal from. Eventually the children will heed you and come to realize that they have done wrong. Children become more stubborn and agitated if they are punished over and over again. All that is required is a change in the manner you deal with your children. The fact is that no one has understood cause karma, which is why everybody suffers.
Charge and Discharge Karma Questioner: Is the doer of cause karma and effect karma different?
Dadashri: The doer is different in both cases. Effect karmas are discharge karmas. Just like a battery, they discharge their power all the time. Are they not being discharged even when we do not want them to?
Questioner: Yes.
Dadashri: That is how the effect karmas are discharge karmas. The new ones that are being charged inside are cause karmas. The ones that are being charged in this life will continue to discharge in the next life. The batteries that were charged in your past life are being discharged in this life. These batteries are: the battery of the mind, the battery of the speech and the battery of the body. All three are discharging at this time, while new batteries are charging within.
When you speak, you believe: 'I am speaking'. But it is not so. It is the record that is playing; the battery' of speech is discharging. I do not speak. People however say: "Look how nicely I spoke." That is all egoism. Once this egoism goes, is there anything left? This egoism is ignorance of the Self. The doer is someone else but you believe that you are the one who is doing it.
The cause karma that is being charged within then goes into a computer'. A person is one individual computer and the other is a universal computer. The cause karmas are first fed into the individual computer and then into the universal computer. The universal computer then takes over and does all the work. You will bind karma with the belief of 'I am Chandubhai' and 'I am the doer'. Once you realize your true identity, no new karma can be bound. This science is simple and straightforward. Otherwise not even a million efforts can make you the Absolute Self. This is an exact science.
Cause-Effect and Effect of Effect
Questioner: Karmas that were charged in the past life come in the form of discharge in this life. What about the karmas of this life, can they discharge in this life or not?
Dadashri: No.
Questioner: When do they come?
Dadashri: Causes of this life are the effects for the next life. Causes of last life are the effects of this life.
Questioner: But you have already said that some karmas are such that they have to be experienced in this life.
Dadashri: That is what the people of the world perceive. If someone has dysentery people would say, it was because he
