The Flow of Karmic Energies

Thoughts are quicker than words. But the mind likes to verbalise the thoughts in order to get a sense of satisfaction.

Off late, I'm beginning to observe the flow of karmic energies between myself and people around me. I observe that many a times, the karmic reaction that a person has to receive ends up happening through me. And sometimes the karmic reaction that I need to receive happens through them.

I'm beginning to understand how it can be very important at times to stay aloof and unattached to people, places, things and circumstances.

Also have begun to realise that if I'm surrounded by negative people who are pessimistic and complaining all the time, their attitudes are not to be blamed for this, they're going through their evolutionary cycle.

And somehow knowingly or unknowingly I myself have invited the circumstances and association with such people. Dealing with them and going through the experiences they offer is a part of my karma. Hence it has to be faced positively.

Reacting to them will only cause more karma to get accumulated in the sanchita karma bucket. This in turn will cause more associations with such people in a future life as well.

Face all karma cheerfully and at the same time be unattached to people place circumstances gadgets career intellect, material possessions etc.

Do not unnecessarily get into conversations , no matter how tempting it is with known or unknown people unless required. This will open up less possibilities for karma to use you to deliver its energies. Affectionate detachment is the key word that gurudeva uses to explain the attitude to be sought.
